Back to touching on the title of this blog. Earning Turns. Last thursday I fell skiing and fell on my side and knocked the wind out of me. Well, me being me, I raced my next run and nursed my side with some beers. Turns out I lacerated my right kidney with elbow. I pissed blood Friday morning and my girlfriend talked me into going to the ER. One CT Scan and a overnight in the hospital ( not to mention a likely large bill) I am to do no strenuous activity for the next 2 weeks, and to ramp up my activity level to normal concluding 6 weeks from now. 6 WEEKS!

Its the end of February and looking at the snow falling from the sky. The snow that I can't ski. Season over. Maybe I'll be back for Super Park? Maybe. But I won't be competing. Definitely not after not skiing for 6 weeks. If I even behave that long.

I guess I'll use this event to once again take stock in my life, and reevaluate old goals, and to make new ones. I've got a few on my mind: train for a Half marathon this summer & start doing yoga regularly per my yogi/marathoner better-half, stymie some bad habits, wrench on my mtn bike, drink better beer, start climbing regularly so I'm no longer the climbing poser that I am, read all the books I've been putting off for some lame ass excuse or another. Hell, even my puppy is more active than I am.

Now that I'm forced to sit on my ass, do I realize how much time I do spend on it. How much time do you spend on yours?
