New Trails

Went for a great long run yesterday. There is something invigorating with the discovery of new routes and trails. Running in the woods with fallen leaves, bright sun, the smells and hearing the encouragement of other runners pushed me on to greater lengths. It was a good run yesterday.

Epic Party!

So we finally had the party. A bunch of us came and partied the night away dressed in whatever attire suited our fancy. I went as Nacho Libre. It was funny because my potbelly slide down and it looked more like I had stuffed my shorts, which I guess I did. A friend of ours couldn't look at me without blushing, it was too funny. Suz was a little concerned how comfortable I was in tights!

There was lots of laughs and it was a great time. I certainly hope that this continues like our exclusive New Years party!

Thanks for the great time everyone and who knows when Nacho may strike again!

Running

Not much to say. Life has been busy and there has been a lot of thoughts, like how ridiculous it is that in the neighbourhood in which I live people will actually drive 2 blocks to visit a friend, take kids to school, go to a birthday party or attend church.

Anyway. Training right now is incredible. I don't know if it is the lack of pressure, the ease of pace, the different routes or a better frame of mind but it feels like I can run forever. I am not hurting, at least while I run. I have run 33.5 k this week alone and it has been great.
