Fridger-8er-race

I feel that I had a horrible race. I was to quick off the start. I totally ran hard and then by 2 k I was out of breath and I wanted to end the race right there. I actually wanted to walk. I wanted to stop.

It was such nice weather out too. Which was great. I wore to many layers. I was only my time for about 2 mins from 2007 race. Which is still good. It's nice to have that insight of where I am now with training.

I am going to run harder and keep to my training plans.

Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.

Show Shoeing

Snow shoeing is overwhelming my body right now. I am so sore. I hurt pretty much everywhere. It was a good work out. I do not recommend wearing a pack to start off with. Go solo and don't wear a lot of clothing.

I biked today and I have no energy to go for a run. I know this is the best time to go for a run.

WE ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walking across the lake. It was magical. Unexpected. Perfect. Magical.

We have been getting into the grove of the working week today. I went and visited a few friends tonight to announce our engagement. It's been wonderful. It has been super long days now with starting my new job and still doing my other jobs. I am looking forward to only having one job and not three.

Then the organizing for the wedding will be on like Donkey Kong!!!!!!!!!!! Whoooooot Whooooooooooot


Go To Bed
~ Quoted by Tanya~

I haven't been that good on my training this week. I've been starting my new job and working longer hours. Learning new things and stepping out my confort zone. It's been great though. I got up yesterday morning and got my 2 miles in. I wanted to take the dog for a walk but she wouldn't leave the house. What a girl.

I had a really long day yesterday. I got up and went for a run. Then I had program at 7:30-9:15am. Then off to Coop, from 9:30-3:00pm, then off to after school...3:35-5:30pm ohhh and then off to school....an hour drive to Conestoga and then listen to a teacher that could have assigned that stuff at home. It was a test review so we felt that we should have went. It was just a waste of time. Hopefully I learned sometime for the test. Well see next week. Then I got home and I still had to pack for this weekend.

Were off to the cottage to go snow shoeing. This will be an adventure. It's been in the making for over six months. I am just running out of steam. I got a book from the library and I'm going to veg and show shoe. Eat lots and break my diet rules.

Monday I'm going to do my five mile run. I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day and Family day with all their friends and family.

Run Like The Wind

Yesterday's run was great. I felt great. I had a Red Bull before and I ran like the wind. Nothing hurt!


I went to Toronto last night. I have been super stressed. I passed my test for my insurance license. I am about to change jobs and start a new path in life. Which I/we are very excited about. I can't wait! It's a Monday-Friday, 9 - 5pm job. Whoooooooooooot Whoooooooooot. I think I should just tell my boss, that if I look like I'm not wanting to be at my job that she should just throw a book at me. That way I will appreciate where I am and remember where I came from.


I am going to start my fourth week tomorrow morning. I haven't been keeping up with my biking as much. Hopefully now that my time is more available I can keep on track.

Tuesday-3 miles
Wednesday-2 miles but I might just do 3.
Thursday-Bike or maybe run 3 miles... it depends on how I feel.
Friday-Rest
Saturday-Snow Shoeing
Sunday-Show Shoeing
Monday- 5 Miles.

Peace comes from knowing that good is all that exists.

May the joy be with you,

Lack of drive

Today I have a very long drive in front me. Then I have a night away from home. So I know that running will be a great release. I have to do 4 miles today. I'm going to take the back roads I think. It's super cold here. To be honest, I'm not looking forwards to this.

My run on Friday evening was great. I felt super charged and ready. I did have a Redbull though. I didn't bike or run yesterday. I wore cotton socks and it helped with the cold. Cotton doesn't let out any wick for sweat but it kept my feet nice and warm.

Wish me luck for today. I see the sun is shinning and it looks nice out but it's sooooooooooooooo cold.

Two Day Post

I did remember to write yesterday after my run but if you know me, you would understand that sometimes my life is hectic and way to busy. I didn't have enough time and I was studying in bed and then all of sudden 10:30pm rolling in and I was ready to hit the hay. I biked today for 30 minutes and did weight training. I even gave myself a little treat. A really tasty treat from a store in Paris, Ontario. If you ever get a chance go to their chocolate store. They make great gifts too.

The weather hasn't been windy lately so that has been really nice.

I've been studying my brains out lately. Which makes running really great. It's a release from all the stress.

The groundhog determined that we will have winter for the next six weeks. I don't mind that because we are going snow shoeing next weekend for Family/Valentine's Day Weekend.

I have noticed that my body is a little different on my sides. Nothing to brag about but I do feel and see a difference. It's like when you go for your first tan and you think you look darker but everyone else doesn't. It's like that.

Sorry, I like this one too.

"The highest form of ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about."
~ Quoted by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer~

Basically he saying that you should get your running shoes on and get running instead of reading about my running experiences. Live a little. Try it out. I double dog dare you. Run for 6 mins. First min, walking, second min jogging, ect. If you can walk you can run.

Mixing it up.

Tuesday: 3 miles
Wednesday: 3 miles
Thursday: Bike
Friday: Bike
Saturday: 4 miles
Sunday: Bike
