In a way, this blog is all about my main man Seamus. My two year old son is a little bad ass and the main reason I decided to get back into shape. My trophy wife is already locked in so I don't need to be fit for the ladies. I want to be able to keep up with my son and his brother that is on the way. Being healthy is mostly about being a good dad for these guys.
Today we went snowboarding at a little hill west of the city called Raging Buffalo. Probably a bit ambitious to get the kid on a board so young but my expectations were extremely low. My intent was to start exposing this stuff to him and gauge his interest. We got out on ski's a couple times last year and people thought I was nuts. This time, people were stoked. Seamus blew my mind and did a great job. I was fully prepared for him to want to go home before we even hit the magic carpet. He actually insisted on riding by himself and didn't want me to help at all. I spent the night chasing him down, carrying him back up the hill, and dragging him back to the top. It was a damn good workout, exactly what I have been training for.
Maybe I am one of those crazy parents who push their children toward their hobbies. Maybe it is selfish of me to want my kids to love my favorite sport as much as me. I will tell you one thing, this was the best day of snowboarding of my life and I took about 5 runs on the bunny hill.
