Best Halloween Ever!

Hit the water with Wendy, Rich, Jarvis and Sheila tonight. Wow! Paddling Oct. 31 in capri tights and tshirt. I've never felt such a warm wind this late in the year. Had some good waves to ride which just topped it all off wonderfully. It's paddles like this that remind me just how lucky I am. To have a sport that I love, people that I love and a job that I love, I'm one lucky gal. All the cares of the world don't seem to exist when I'm out on the water. It's just me and the water, that's all that matters.

What a Summer!

So it's now October and snowing none the less and I'm reflecting back on the past six months.

What an adventure to say the least! Parry Sound, to Vancouver, to Calgary, to Virginia Beach, to Sacramento, to Hawaii, to Kelowna, and to Pickering .... good friends, good racing and lots of memories. After 16 plane rides on the flying trips, I think I've got the airport thing down pat now.

Thanksgiving has come and gone so that meant the beginning of my off-season training. I'm following the workouts from the Premier Womens DB team for the most part. Adding a few things into the weights that I feel I need. Debating joining a real gym and getting them to tailor a program just for me. I know I have the education to do it myself but think I'd be a little biased in my assessments and creation of a program. It's nice having someone else telling me what to do for once. It's been a very long time since I've been on a weight program, Feb 2004 to be exact.

Think I'm going to track my progress as my trek to 2010 and 2012 continues. It's a way to keep me motivated to train as this weather continues to get colder!
