For Boston, For Boston...

Last night I got to do something very cool.
When it comes to sports, there are a few things I really love. Obviously, the Red Sox are one of them (if you couldn't tell). Probably second to the Red Sox would be Boston College Hockey. I wouldn't consider myself an awesome fan now, but when I was in college my roommates and I faithfully attended almost all of the games before doing anything else on Friday nights. I definitely preferred watching the hockey team to the football team, even though football games were always a bigger event.

So when my Dad told me we had tickets to watch BC vs. BU at FENWAY, I was so excited! I almost forgot how freezing it was going to be on January 8th at 8 o'clock at night :) But don't worry, we bundled...

How ridiculous do we all look?

Wally was there...on skates :)

For the first period I was warm, thanks to 100 layers and some nice hand warmers. I basically froze through the second period and we watched the third in a bar to warm up. BC looked terrible at the beginning and had some real chances at the end, but in the end BU won 3-2. It was disappointing that BC did not win, but it was such a cool experience that it was okay. Plus, I just love to watch hockey- it's so exciting and FAST.

Since Eric and I got an awesome flip video camera from Eric's parents for Christmas, I thought I'd take a quick shot of what it looked like to watch a hockey game inside of a baseball park...

What is your favorite sport to watch? What team do you root for?

I got to bed a bit later than usual, but I had a date with the elliptical this morning so I motivated myself by trying out a new sports bra.

They are C9 by Champions and you buy them at Target. My sister got these for Christmas and apparently has been wearing them for years. I was originally motivated by the awesome colors and the fact that I needed new sports bras anyway, so my mom promised to get me them next time she was at Target. I can't believe I missed the memo on these sooner, they are SO comfortable!

My elliptical date this morning was 45 minutes and I did the following routine, based very closely on my 45 minute routine from last weekend with a few changes to include more backwards motion.
