30th jan
Today I woke up @ 5:15, slept little more while after my alarm rang, I get up very early then other people and I think I disturb son since he is my roommate, we left for practice @ 6:30 and drove to Kissimmee in Paul's car, driving to Kissimmee is like sleeping in the car because it takes more than a hour, the floor today really sucked, it was not only slipping but something gummy stuck to her wheels and that made her wheels wobble @ the corners, especially it got stuck more to the type of wheels I was wearing, so nobody could give 100 percent today in our practice, if we did we will a horrible fall, they are coating the floor on Monday so Saturday the track is going to be grippe , by the way Greg was the coach as usual, we did 5k in the warm up, we did basic drills, this is the last time I am going to specify each of basic drill i.e. both legs squat, outside edge, one 1 leg gliding, change sides, right leg front of left leg, change sides, side pushes, lunges, duck walk, duck walk and track, we did 1 stretch of 1 person pushing pack of 3 people, so total 4 people in a group, others need to concentrate on their form and technique till their turnx10 sets, we did 2 people in a group, 1 person pushes the front person for half lap and the person who pushed is going to sprint and finish next half lapx3 sets each, we did 10 laps x 3 sets slowing building up the pace and sprint the last lap, we did passing drill like last man pushing the person who is coming in to take the push and he goes in 2nd position and next lap he goes to the 1st placex5 sets, we did 5 laps relayx5 sets, we did starts, we did quick passing drill as cooling down, we went to Boston market for breakfast, like last time I choose for 3 sides i.e. gold corn, spinach with cheese, bread pieces mixed with vegetables and sweet corn bread and water with no ice..lol
When we were driving back, it rained, it was nice to witness rain for the first time in USA, my knees were hurting because we were three people sitting back and we could not stretch, we had planned for outdoor but could not go because of the rain, I had uncle Ben’s vegetable harvest for lunch, Erin Jackson has come home, me and son saw wwe dvd of son’s in the laptop, we then went to feed food to lama’s and the horses, we went to have dinner, before that we went to some Webster’s where you animals for auction to buy them, I did not enter inside, I was scared to go, may be because I am not used to not kind of atmosphere, I start imagining stuff about animals later if I would have gone, Renee and other comates realized that I was not along with them when they were moving that they taught I was lost and began searching for me everywhere around, I taught they were aware that I was standing outside, so sad I scared them little, also I am not an American you see…
We went to butter bean for dinner, we had buffet there, I had rice with beans, vegetable gravy, mashed potatoes and some other kind of beans, don’t know what it was, then I filled one more plate with salad like usual, after that I had pastry, which looked and I actually taught also that I was pineapple pastry but I was not, it had some lemon flavored and it tasted yak, we drove back to home and I was watching vikramarkudu movie, tomorrow we have practice @ 9 @ tampa followed by outdoor, so we need leave @ 7:20 here, have a nice day guys to people who are having the day and good night to people who are having night..lol

29th jan
Today I woke up @ 10 again, last night I was posting everything to here so I slept very late like 1 or 2, got freshen up and drank half liter of water, I took out the burrito which I had stored in the freezer last ,I took them out and kept them on microware for 1 min, it’s a 7 layer burrito and i had them for breakfast, man It tasted so good, it was yummy, my comates were cursing and making fun of me for taking them to taco bell, they just didn’t like food over there, it was just one day right, why don’t they realize that every day I accompanied them and ate crap and till now I have never demanded or complained….
I was trying to talk to my parents on Skype, I could listen to them perfectly but my voice were breaking to them and they could not see me on the webcam too, I adjusted the settings on the control panel, it looked fine but still things weren’t ok, I don’t know if its because of the slow net connection as so many people using it here or my system, I was little frustrated with it, didn’t know what to do
After that I went to jog wit son, we played baseball for a while, the baseball bat looks pretty, at the gym area I did barbell squats 6 sets x 6 reps starting with 20 kg each side, every 2 sets I was increasing the weight, then did flat chest barbell press of 3 sets x 6 reps, I had 2 packets of uncle Ben’s meal for lunch, 1 was vegetable harvest and another was Spanish recipe, it tasted good, I feel @ home when I am having them t, I put my clothes to washing machine
We had indoor practice @ Brooksville @ 5, Paul came to pick us up @ 4 on his car, when we were driving down the hill, we were stopped by a police, Bianca who was @ front seat immediately told us to wear seat belt, I wore them quickly, son was sitting next to me, poor chap did not understand what she actually said, we were stopped for breaking the speed limit , Paul was fined 200$+ and 100$ for son not wearing his seat belt, fine was on on Paul's name because he was driving, Paul was really pissed after all this happened, we anyways reached rainbow skate land on time
This was the first track I skated last week when I reached US, I did not feel the way like I did last time, I find the track weird especially after skating on tracks like Tampa and Kissimmee which is bigger and grips better comparatively , this track is actually smaller and slippery, I was felling odd in the warm up, I somehow felt comfortable @ the end of the class, that’s always, I take time to get used to anything, by the way, Jenifer was the coach as usual here, we did warm up followed by fast stretches, we did right pushing only on one corner and extending and stepping on another corner with left leg lifting and bringing it back, we took break and had water followed by two people chasing, we did that like 5 sets, it was tiring, then we did last man pushing the whole pack and all other holding each other and concentrating on their form and technique, we did that like 10 sets, we took break and had a drink(water)we then did 1 lap relay, this was fast and you don’t get any break...overall it was a good session, I had zone 78 protein bar at the end of the session, It tasted good on some part and weird on some, next Monday they are getting the track this coated, yuppie the track is going to grip good after the coating
We went to sonny’s for dinner, I got myself a bottom less salad, after 1 serving I had another 1, after having them I was full, I still could feel them, next time I will make sure I will have only once, son as usual went on ordering ribs, he does everything extreme, Bianca had ordered chicken , she was eating them and found out one of the piece was under cooked and so she got everything else for free, she was also offered a free desert but she said no to it
We reached home and went to Renee’s room to tell hi, I always get excited to see her, he was working on something @ home too, bad her TV wasn’t working, she was telling how the puppies did shit on her bed and she woke up like 3 times last night, I really felt sad for her, I took my clothes which I had put into the washing machine and put them into the drier, my job cannot easier than this…lol
I changed and I got freshen up to sleep and here I am writing all this, tomorrow we have practice @ 8 early in the morning @ Kissimmee , so need to get up early, its going to be good as many people will be coming and its going to be hard too, so you guys take care and have fun, me hitting the sac now, have a nice day ahead!

Oh man this kid is really amazing, I had this person telling me back home that I shouldn’t be doing weights, I will tell you he is one jerk who knows nothing about skating, I really don’t like this people into this sport but you can’t help it, you just need to ignore this type of people and move on, son was playing table tennis with biacca ,I went inside and had uncle Ben’s meal for lunch, it was good, I had this kellogs’s fiber plus antioxidant , oh it as very yummy, I loved it, I don’t if you get them in India, I had hot shower and made sure to not wet my chin, we had to leave 3:30 for outdoor @ Ocala followed by dinner @ Renee’s mom’s place, I got ready and changed indoor wheels to outdoor, Renee arrived, you know she got a new puppy, we named it gracy, she is so cute, its gifted by one of her patient to her and she could not resist, boots and clovi were so excited to see it and also gracy too, it was so happy, we took it along with her for practice, we didn’t want to leave it @ home, because since its very new to the home and no one’s @ home, Renee served food for puppies and we left, when we were on the , she asked whether both were put inside the home, I somehow got the feeling and clovi wasn’t put inside because I saw only boots inside, then Renee told she saw both inside and we moved on, we reached around 4:30, this was a bike trail, the road was awesome, its circuit but a very big one with full straights and sharp turns, we had Erin Jackson , she is from Ocala, she trains under Renee, she is a world champion in 500 meters, she goes to school, so she rarely comes for other practices in Kissimmee, Tampa, Brooksville , her mom is like wants her daughter to concentrate more in studies, so sad, so every practice they quarrel with each other, we did warm up in a small circle near the parking lot, without lifting and stepping @ and doing the opposite side, then we went to the circuit way and did 5k, we did 10k, we took a quick break, we did drills in the uphill, double pushx5, startsx5 and cooling down, after practice I had power bar’s protein bar and I still don’t realize why they taste horrible and so dry, we drove to Renee’s mom’s place, you need to dial a code before the gate and the gate opens to enter inside the colony or quarters , each house look very alike ,it was like a fantasy land to me, like a resort, i was getting this feeling that i have come for an holiday, roads surrounding were very clean and had a bike trail too, her mom welcomed us, we had salad with different dressing to choose from, spagati pasta as main cuisine, i don’t know how people have and biacca kept on telling its very good, you are best, I was full question mark on my face..lol I had one more serving of salad , we also cheese bread, water was raspberry flavored, it tasted good, now I will tell you about the house, she had a luxury car, it was Lincoln zephyr , the garage was automatic, by the way here all the cars including Renee’s suv are automatic gears unlike in India we have manual gears, her house was very beautiful , it was like a 5 star hotel suite, well maintained and getting care of each and every corner of the house, the interiors were amazing ,it had lot of Chinese decoration and influence, fully furnished, the kitchen garden was superb, her mom showed her some of her family’s old pictures, in the mean time me, son and biacca took gracy out of the house and were sitting on the garden and playing with it, it was enjoying with us, then we left, earlier when we left home, I had this feeling right that clovi not put inside the house, I was right, she was out, thank god it was safe, so today was eventful in every ways , didn’t go to Wal-Mart, I wanted to buy some food there, bye for now, hope you guys are not cursing for right this long mails, let me know if you do, I like sharing things…

Yesterday Renee mam gifted me a t shirt, though it does not fit me, I am so happy that she gave it to me, I am still a kid @ heart you see, she is really sweet, she is taking care of me and nothing less than like my mother…
Today I woke up @ 5:30,my alarm rang @ 5 but I taught of sleeping some more time and it was half an hour, got freshen up, drank water, started checking mails while everyone were still sleeping because lot of people using internet @ home, it comes very slow and you don’t connect and same thing with my cell since lama’s land is in outskirts and also when I am inside there is zero network, people who would have tried calling to my number would have heard it going to voice mail and I have not kept it @ voice mail, by the way I can message unlimited to you guys and its costs me nothing as I have paid for it this whole month
We left home @ 6:30 and drove to Tampa international airport to drop aliandra, she was feeling all sad, now kwinten has anyone to flirt with…lol
The sun rise was good but not as good as yesterday, here bikes are less comparatively to how much cars are seen, I see most of the guys on Harley Davidson, I somewhat feel funny see the attire of this guys riding the bike, they look as if they are going on a mission or something..lol
We went to nikki’s and omelet and grill for breakfast, they was much varieties in the menu to order, you can also create your own breakfast, to a person like me who is a born veggie, I have no options, I had veg scrambled omelet, by the way when it says veggie, it may not be pure veg, see the ingredients before you order them, funny thing happened here son going to ladies rest room and locking it from inside, we all laughed like hell, I had to knock the door and tell him, then he went to correct one, after he finished, I went in, oh god, this kid stinks man, Renee somehow knew my expression that after son goes to toilet, we need to seal our knows, it was very funny…
My order came with 2 buns, veggie omelet and bowl of mixed fruits, it was presented very well and Renee looking at it was telling it looks good, I thought Its gonna be spicy but it was not, I put ketchup for taste, I always order water esp. now I specify with no ice, everyone order sweet tea and I don’t no why they don’t call it ice tea, does hot tea taste sweet less? here they have so many taxes, there is Florida tax, gratuity tax, is there any tax left? when you see the price add 1 or 2 dollar to it..oh man..after all this each one of them keep the dollars on the table for tips, I am not rich..lol people here treat here cents as waste, in care and house, its all everywhere, why don’t this people respect them, you can donate it to poor and needy people, in this case I love my Indian values and culture, I am proud to say I am an Indian, I love my country…
From here went to Tampa skate world for indoor practice, the track was squeaky, esp in the corners, I seriously didn’t know what it does gonna offer me later in the training session, as usual before the warm up I was drafting behind Paul, I feel comfortable behind him today we had lots of people as it was Sunday and kids don’t have school and also big ones don’t have work, I will just go off the topic here, you know people here don’t go to school or they go only two days, there is something called home school, oh man these guys are so lucky..lol but i wonder where this people get education, is it not important, how are they gonna survive without it, god knows, now I am come to practice, we had warm up like two people sprinting together for 1 lap and joining the pack again and then we did stretches after it, we had tony cabrel today, he is assistant coach to Renee, good to see him, he comes only to Tampa, then we lined from slower to faster, At one corner we need to just push with right leg i.e. without lifting and other corner we need to cross but this is a different cross, you push it to the side and then cross without lifting(right leg) it, you lift(left leg)each one pace two laps, after this we did each one pacing fast for two laps, this was really intense as you have to sprint when others are doing their sprints and sprint when its your turn of sprinting two laps, its very tiring, after this we had the same thing one more set, Renee mam is helping with my technique like how my ass should be while entering the corners and stuff, I had no one to guide me this way, while doing the 2nd set, I felt very confident, I made up mind to really focus on each part and not to leave little gap, first few laps went fine, in the middle I was very fast in the corner and I had sliding fall, I landed on my chin two times, I taught I was ok but when I touched it was a deep terrible cut, this was the first time in my whole skating carrier I fell on my chin, I never wanted this but you need to go on, Renee called me outside, she did first aid, I lied on the chair, since we have restaurant side of inside, one of the parent came me this books to rest my head, mom, dad, please don’t worry, i will be perfectly fine, I did want to tell this, if I didn’t, tell you would feel really bad…
After the indoor, we went to Adams school, it’s a running track like a surface of the road, so this was our outdoor practice, I was wearing a band aid that Renee put, I really didn’t want to skip them, Renee also told that I can do it, before skate we had ply metrics, trust me it was very very hard, when I say hard, its hard, we did different kind of drills, tony was guiding us, I cant explain them here…
Hey I met debbie bont here,she is a world champ and fastest women skater ever, she is 40 plus and she skates amazingly, she is bont usa rep and skates for usa bont team too, We then put on our skates and went for warm up, I felt good, I really liked the road, I feel good on corners, this was a 400 meters circuit, corners were not much, it had more straights, when it was high pace, It was only kwinten Paul, son and me in the pack, everyone leaves, one thing I have to tell you guys, most of the usa skating population don’t skate outdoor as well as they do indoor, after warm up we did corner blasts i.e. sprinting in the corner-5 times ,don’t remember if we did 1 or 2 sets, I gave my 100 percent and I was with son, kwinten and Paul all time and there was nobody behind us, I was better in straights, we rested for a while, we did straight away blasts-5 times, after this I was tired, firstly I had lost little blood when I had fall, my jaws were hurting, secondly we just had a indoor session and I am not used to two sessions continuous, I just need to get used to this and I will…
You guys will be thinking after this the practice is over, I never expected what was expected, we had 10k i.e. 25 laps, I was tired as I said, I did some 18 laps and I could not do more then that, i have a goal now…there is no point of training unless you have a goal to achieve…
We went to church’s chicken and there was mc Donald’s next to it, I had mashed potatoes, the lady @ the counter was doing multitasking and took so long time to order and also when we got it, they were so little quantity, so I decided to go to mc Donald’s, I went and got salad for myself, I told here it should not contain meat, chicken, I repeated and she understood what I said, I told here I am a strict vegetarian, so I got them, I was having till I saw something odd and it was chicken, I felt like going back and slapping here and I throw them off, these people really annoy the shit out of me
We drove back home, all the way I was holding tissue paper on my chin as my band aid came out cause of my sweat, I came home and charged the trimmer to trim my bread so that Renee can put butterfly, I am also hearing for the first time, it seems you put them to get the skin back to the shape, I am only worried what if my beard does not grow, anyways its almost below the chin, I cant do anything about it and stop worrying about it and concentrate only on training and being as much careful as I can, that does not mean I was careless when I fell…it happens to everyone and today was mine
we reached home Alison and Chris(her husband) had come I had this protein bar which I had bought it @ the wall mart supermarket, I never know that protein bar tastes that way, it tastes not good, I got them to supplement with protein as I am not eating food containing protein and also I did not get any whey protein isolate shake, Renee mam put butterflies on the cut and she said I would be fine, I have to take care of them not coming off and not wetting them the next three days
Today I woke up @ 5:30,my alarm rang @ 5 but I taught of sleeping some more time and it was half an hour, got freshen up, drank water, started checking mails while everyone were still sleeping because lot of people using internet @ home, it comes very slow and you don’t connect and same thing with my cell since lama’s land is in outskirts and also when I am inside there is zero network, people who would have tried calling to my number would have heard it going to voice mail and I have not kept it @ voice mail, by the way I can message unlimited to you guys and its costs me nothing as I have paid for it this whole month
We left home @ 6:30 and drove to Tampa international airport to drop aliandra, she was feeling all sad, now kwinten has anyone to flirt with…lol

This indoor track is called skate reflections, 2day I am gonna tell you how a indoor rink looks like,its got video games inside, some stuff you see in amusement park,rest rooms,lights,skate rental,skate shop,ping pong,its such a fun place guys
So we had other coach called greg,he was very dedicated,we had session for more then 3 hour,before it started I did 70 laps drafting behind me,the track is just two awesome,very very griphy,I wish we had 1 in India,with the pack I did 5k,we were in the order faster to slower,1 by 1 every1 were leaving the pack including son cause he is a sprinter,I had to sprint and join but later the gap was so much cause of most of the ppl leave so I joined immediately after 1 lap,indoor in awesome,so we did lot of productive,group,we did basic drills with technique and renee mam helped with it,followed by starts,half lap 1 lap, 2 laps 3 laps and again down the order,5 laps each person relay racing against each other ,we made teams,then single lap relay,b4 that we did lot of basic stuff i.e. drills,then we did something new,esp to me It was new,last guy pushing,the guy who gets pushed comes 2nd and in the next half lap he needs to go first,the last guy who pushes leaves the pack,and this continues this way,then we did 10 laps race,so it was great,renee mam complimented me at the end of the training saying that I am fast and with twik in technique I am gonna go flying fast,samething was told by jonathan who is 40+ and he skates in master division,I like the way he said don’t u are fast..lol
We had breakfast in boston market,no its not super market,it’s a restaurant,they had this buffet,u can choose three,I had really gud vegetarian stuff here,something with spinach,golden corn and some bread pieces mixed with vegetables,this was good food I had till now in USA,i was sitting with paul and he was feeling sad for me and he was telling to quinton and we need to take vikram to Indian restaurant
We drove home,my legs were singing,it was sore,I got freshen up,renee mam called me that the guys outside were calling me,actually there was a small wild bore which entered lama’s land,donno how it got there,so we were all chasing it,aliandra told me to get two blankets to catch it,I did it,so we were all chasing esp me,son,quinton and paul,just before coming here esp when I went to chennai for usa I saw this kannada gali patha,where they chase this wild bore for its meat,we were doing the same exact thing,this small wild bore was so fast,we kept chasing and chasing,lama’s land is so big,it can’t go out cause of the fences,still wondering how it got in,we kept on running behind it,it was like a anerobic workout to us,every1 somewhat gave up but son and me did not,we chased me and made me so tired,I blocked him and son did the same thing and son got hold of him,it was screaming,we had no intention of hurting,it was thirty,we put him in a cage and made me drink water,it was so thirsty that it put his whole body inside it and was wagging his tale,I taught it was time for me to sleep after it,I get a call that we had to head to kissimee again for prac but this time outdoor road,renee mam had to get to work so we with paul again drove it to there,I was very excited to do road here,I just love road,this is bike trail,very narrow,they road looks rough but its really good,in India road looks smooth but its lot of vibration,so we did 5k up and 5k down,every1 left including son,I stuck to paul all the time and I did not leave,in the intial aliandra had a terrible fall,cause there was this something from the tree was fallen on the road,she went on it,actually paul was pacing and I was behind him followed by quinton,we tree missed it,I taught paul should have told us about it,she wouldn’t had a fall,after that we did basic drills

22nd jan 2010
22nd jan
day I got up @ 8,dats early cause I was the first 1 to get up, renee had already left for here work,son was still sleeping and others too. I got freshen up and drank half liter of water, I had not been drinking water 4m the day I arrived here, so I will make sure I drink lots of water from the days to ate 6-8 slices of wheat bread, size was small so I could eat that much, I spread them with chocolate peanut butter followed by glass of milk, milk here tastes yuck, don no why. then I sat in front of the laptop in the living room, signal strength is little fast and also cause I was only stuck up with my room so I wanted to explore lama’s land i.e. the Renee’s place 1 by 1, the place I live, house if full of team usa past and present pics, full of history, filled with many awards and trophys all around, I was checking mails and replying it to them, checking updates on facebook which I had been not been lately, downloaded picasa to share my photos, its somehow complicated or its just that Its new to me. I just love clovi and boots, the dogs ,better to call them puppies, they are so cute and very playfull. I came out of the house when the internet got slower and started exploring things around the house, yay I saw lama’s they are so social animals, 1 male, 2 female and 1 baby lama, I saw the two horses, I felt they are very lazy.
After that I went to gym area, yes there is one and I discovered them all 2day, its got slideboard, weights, 1 stationary bike, 1 mirror, team Florida pics, many other things which I donno, the place is really nice, there are boxes for you to jump on them
Son was before me and was working there on slideboard and box jumps, turn cable, so first I was just watching him, he is really amazing, his technique is perfect, no doubt he is so fast, i started doing and asked son to correct me actually teach me cause what I was doing in India was wrong, in the mean time also came, aliandra and kwinten were taking sun bath or I could say they were flirting with each other, that’s what they have been doing from past few days, biacca was online and chating with her mom inside the house
Both quinten and son helped me lot and told me what is the right way of doing, then I did jump on the table with medicine ball, then do them on side on both slides, then did turn cable, son was helping me doing it all, he is really sweet and funny, I know I have told this N no of times, I don get tired of saying it
Then I add 2 big bananas and rite bite, that was my lunch actually, biacca was so kind enough to remind me if I add indoor wheels for practice, I told no and she selected gud ones for me, the wheels were in the living room, renee is so sweet that u can borrow wheels for practice, in India except me and few more ppl, all others don’t even lend their wheels for short races
We had paul here, he with renee in rehab, he is as old as me, now don’t ask my age, he is also a skater , fast and good, yes faster then me too, so he drove us to practice to indoor rainbow skate land @ Brooksville which was @ 4oclock, this track is still small then tampa skate world, people were saying this track is slippery, it was my first indoor practice in my whole life, it was awesome, you are actually fast here and tight corners, I loved them, initially it took me time to adjust but later I just got more comfortable, the kids were fast, we had other coach, renee was busy @ her rehab
We did lot which again I was doing this type of workout and drills for the time, it was productive, at the end of the class it was intense and I was tired, son was correcting me on corners
After practice we went to sonny’s barbque place, is it a sin to be a born vegetarian or I am just not lucky, jokes apart, I am very happy being a veggi and I was remain all my life that way, I was die rather than eating meat, sorry guys no offence but its just me
There these people were eating ribs, I didn’t even know whose ribs were they eating..lol I assumed chicken’s but later I came to know it was pig’s, I just got myself a bottom less salad bar, I served myself twice and I was full, son was eating like a pig , every1 finished eating , this guy kept on ordering more food, I was shocked to see, every1 were having fun watching the kid eating
From there we went to wall, I was scanning whole stuff so that I could eat something in the lunch tom esp vegi , I got some ben’s vegetarian harvest, u need to cook them in micro wave and its ready to eat, It looked healthy, they were couple of varieties more, I will be trying 1 by 1 everyday but I just bought 1 of those, donno how it gonna taste until lunch, hope its edible…lol

Tom practice @ 8 kissmee, it will be indoor followed by outdoor practice too, we are leaving @ 6;30 and I needa get up @ 5,so me hitting the sack now, gud nite guys, sweet dreams, don’t let the bad bugs bite u…
day I got up @ 8,dats early cause I was the first 1 to get up, renee had already left for here work,son was still sleeping and others too. I got freshen up and drank half liter of water, I had not been drinking water 4m the day I arrived here, so I will make sure I drink lots of water from the days to ate 6-8 slices of wheat bread, size was small so I could eat that much, I spread them with chocolate peanut butter followed by glass of milk, milk here tastes yuck, don no why. then I sat in front of the laptop in the living room, signal strength is little fast and also cause I was only stuck up with my room so I wanted to explore lama’s land i.e. the Renee’s place 1 by 1, the place I live, house if full of team usa past and present pics, full of history, filled with many awards and trophys all around, I was checking mails and replying it to them, checking updates on facebook which I had been not been lately, downloaded picasa to share my photos, its somehow complicated or its just that Its new to me. I just love clovi and boots, the dogs ,better to call them puppies, they are so cute and very playfull. I came out of the house when the internet got slower and started exploring things around the house, yay I saw lama’s they are so social animals, 1 male, 2 female and 1 baby lama, I saw the two horses, I felt they are very lazy.
After that I went to gym area, yes there is one and I discovered them all 2day, its got slideboard, weights, 1 stationary bike, 1 mirror, team Florida pics, many other things which I donno, the place is really nice, there are boxes for you to jump on them
Son was before me and was working there on slideboard and box jumps, turn cable, so first I was just watching him, he is really amazing, his technique is perfect, no doubt he is so fast, i started doing and asked son to correct me actually teach me cause what I was doing in India was wrong, in the mean time also came, aliandra and kwinten were taking sun bath or I could say they were flirting with each other, that’s what they have been doing from past few days, biacca was online and chating with her mom inside the house
Both quinten and son helped me lot and told me what is the right way of doing, then I did jump on the table with medicine ball, then do them on side on both slides, then did turn cable, son was helping me doing it all, he is really sweet and funny, I know I have told this N no of times, I don get tired of saying it
Then I add 2 big bananas and rite bite, that was my lunch actually, biacca was so kind enough to remind me if I add indoor wheels for practice, I told no and she selected gud ones for me, the wheels were in the living room, renee is so sweet that u can borrow wheels for practice, in India except me and few more ppl, all others don’t even lend their wheels for short races
We had paul here, he with renee in rehab, he is as old as me, now don’t ask my age, he is also a skater , fast and good, yes faster then me too, so he drove us to practice to indoor rainbow skate land @ Brooksville which was @ 4oclock, this track is still small then tampa skate world, people were saying this track is slippery, it was my first indoor practice in my whole life, it was awesome, you are actually fast here and tight corners, I loved them, initially it took me time to adjust but later I just got more comfortable, the kids were fast, we had other coach, renee was busy @ her rehab
We did lot which again I was doing this type of workout and drills for the time, it was productive, at the end of the class it was intense and I was tired, son was correcting me on corners
After practice we went to sonny’s barbque place, is it a sin to be a born vegetarian or I am just not lucky, jokes apart, I am very happy being a veggi and I was remain all my life that way, I was die rather than eating meat, sorry guys no offence but its just me
There these people were eating ribs, I didn’t even know whose ribs were they eating..lol I assumed chicken’s but later I came to know it was pig’s, I just got myself a bottom less salad bar, I served myself twice and I was full, son was eating like a pig , every1 finished eating , this guy kept on ordering more food, I was shocked to see, every1 were having fun watching the kid eating
From there we went to wall, I was scanning whole stuff so that I could eat something in the lunch tom esp vegi , I got some ben’s vegetarian harvest, u need to cook them in micro wave and its ready to eat, It looked healthy, they were couple of varieties more, I will be trying 1 by 1 everyday but I just bought 1 of those, donno how it gonna taste until lunch, hope its edible…lol
