I Saw Aaron, Howard Yeh & Lizzy Loeb Engaged, USARS Indoors, Show Pictures Of Yourself, Look How Great You Are, Olympic Opening, KNSB & Essent Pics

I Saw Aaron: When I left for work on Monday morning, I was turning off my street onto Cawthra. Aaron Arndt zoomed past me and honked. I was happy to see Aaron while on my way to work and I think he was happy to drive by me because he had a big smile- I think he was on his way to work as well.

This past Sunday morning, Aaron drove by my house on his way to skating practice at Scooter's and he noticed that my car was still parked in the driveway- he knew that I wasn't going to be there in time to help clean the floor for practice- don't tell him, but I was sleeping...

Now there's been rumours circulating that Aaron has moved into a new appartment. I think the rumour is untrue because Aaron told me that it's not true.

Howard Yeh & Lizzy Loeb Engaged: How about this inspiring love story between Lizzy Loeb and Howard Yeh!? They met at the Silver Strand Marathon a bit ago, and Howard proposed to Lizzy at the same event this past weekend- Click here for more. Congrats to the love birds!

I got to thinking about how many relationships- some on wheels and some on blades- have been forged thanks to our great sports of speed skating.

USARS Indoor: The word on the net is that the 2009 USA Roller Sports indoor nationals will take place in Illinois. Click here for more.

Show Pictures Of Yourself: Just plain fun, no other comments- Post a Picture of Yourself. I think of everyone who has posted a picture there, I am the hottest.

I wonder how many times I can post this picture from Itachimaru56's account until someone gets angry or says something...
Look How Great You Are: Yes, this is another plug for a friend's blog- I linked up to it last week- see Skater Dreams. I thought that the reaction to being linked up to Speed Skate World was pretty cool- '5:30 finish work, Kevin shows me, on Peter's Blog (Speed Skate World on the right) there is a reference to Skater Dreams (See the Monday November 5, '07 entry on Speed Skate World). Yippeeeee! I'm on Speed Skate World. (I guess I'll have something to brag about when I get into the right hand column on Peter's blog.)'

Olympic Opening: edwinlommers is keeping us informed with roller sports' quest in becoming part of the Olympic program- see the lastest post in OLYMPIC OPENING. Here's a taste of what's written; 'Non of the Sports listed has the fundamentals and track record like RollerSports'.

Here is a resource for you to explore- Association of Recognized IOC International Sports Federations.

KNSB & Essent Pics: For Harm de Boer Fotografie's pictures from this past weekend's KNSB Cup in Den Haag, use these links; men A, men B, and women. Here are Wesp's photos from the KNSB Cup. You can also find photos from the 4th Essent Cup in Utrecht.
