ubkev Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 We normally have a full squad (4 or 5 D, 6 or 8 F) but this is our third 1045 game in a row and the wussin out. Right now we only have one sub. Man, if we have 10 we're lucky. I get around 35 minutes of ice per game. 3 rotating D is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yeah, ten is perfect. 6,... Not so much. Go Sabres!!!! Yeah, 6 is no bueno. We would probably steal a couple from the other team. Everyone makes the playoffs in our leagues and we've all played together for a while so its pretty chill. Ya know until someone gets pissy, then its chippy and the real fun starts.

We ended up with 8, which still sucks, but at least would have been better than 6, only, 2 of the fill-ins decided that they like to skate angry and were in the box all night. Really? With a short bench you dumb- are going to make us skate shorthanded all night?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 $60 to play in a D-League "No-Star" game. In an AHL arena with 4 tickets to that night's game included. Yes or no? $60 to play one hockey game is kinda steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Got up super early and joined the November Project's 6am skate at Canalside today. First time skating there! Anyone else do November Project stuff? It's a year round thing and free- you show up at the event (usually the stairs at the Albright Knox) and some sort of fitness dealio goes down. You don't have to be fit at all- I had thought it was all like super marathoner types- nope. All ages and sizes and levels of fitness. Today we skated for 30 minutes straight- 22 laps of the rink is a 5k I think. I definitely did more than that and was totally gassed. Went with a couple of friends (one of whom had never skated before), skated in 6 degree weather, and now I'm all chipper and it's weird. I hate mornings...

If it's really bothering you, just call one of your clients. Pretty sure that can remove that "chipper" feeling in a hurry. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Went climbing at the Niagara Climbing Center today. About an hour of top roping and my hands are very sore. It was a lot of fun though, hoping to keep going back regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Just finished my first day skiing. Back on the mountain for the first time in 8 years. I didn't realize how much I actually missed it. Skiing has always been my most beloved sporting activity and after being on the snow for about 6 seconds I remembered why. God, I love the feeling. Stomped a 540 for the kids in the park on my last run. Ok, it was more for me, but they thought it was cool. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 When I "launched" my "running" "career" in "2015"... I mean 2015, I stumbled upon a controversy in the running world. When are you running and when are you jogging?The debate is surprisingly nuanced. Some people think it's merely how fast you are traveling — the pace at which you become a jogger is said to be in the neighborhood of a 10-minute mile. Others are more subjective, saying it's more about your mindset, your purpose, the effort you are putting into it, maybe if you have a specific goal in mind — so if you're just out there "taking it easy" the analogy might be jogging: running as strolling: walking.I bought into the objective definition. I was a runner because I could do 3.1 miles in about 29 minutes. Lately, it's been taking me over 30 minutes as I try to lengthen my distance a little, so I've been jogging. Effort, to my mind, had nothing to do with it. If you're slow, you're jogging. If you're fast/er, you're running.May I introduce you to Hurricane Hawkins? This amazing 101-year-old woman ran a 100 meter sprint at just under an 11-minute mile pace, a world record for her age. No one could possibly say she was jogging!Maybe it's more about how much of your potential energy you are using. She looks to be using about all she has. She's running for sure.

Winston Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I avoid the controversy altogether by neither jogging nor running ???? But that’s an awesome video and interesting debate over the definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I avoid the controversy altogether by neither jogging nor running But that’s an awesome video and interesting debate over the definition. It is. These fit, lean guy and gal gazelles fly past me, and they are barely expending any energy. If it's easy for them, are they running?

If it's easy for them, are they running? Just because it looks easy, doesn't make it easy. Usain Bolt's heart rate probably hits 190 in the 9 seconds that it takes him to run the 100. It's probably back down in the 60s after about 2 or 3 minutes. He never looks like he's working hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Saturday I did my first public performance! We performed at the Ugly Disco in Rochester- a big drunken bash full of wasted middle aged people in shiny polyester and wigs that raised money for Golisano Children's Hospital. Here's a few shots of me as a bright lisa frank cocaine fantasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Wow, I missed those pics back in April. Really neat!! Came here to post that I bought my wife a bike for her birthday. The pup also got her a birthday present- a doggy trailer to tow behind my bike so she can join us on rides. It’ll obviously be more recreational than hardcore fitness, but hey, I broke a sweat the first time we used it :P Edited May 19, 2018 by EichSnipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabresparaavida Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I do a lot of running and I finally got my mile time back under 5 minutes. Hoping to get my two mile time down to the ten twenties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabills Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 My new job is easily within biking distance from my house. I've gotta get a bike up and running so I can start doing that on nice days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Yesterday evening I went on a 26 mile dinner (and ice cream) ride. This morning I led the breakfast ride for 29 miles. Then I mowed the lawn, and now I'm clearing some space in the garden and planting the things I got the wife for Mothers Day. Oh, it was in the 90s today. You could say I broke a sweat. My new job is easily within biking distance from my house. I've gotta get a bike up and running so I can start doing that on nice days. How far?
