I've realized that I am pretty bad with sticking to the blogging scene. Sorry! No promises this time... but I know that once I get into the race season I will post quite a bit more frequently.

Holidays
Happy Christmas and New Year!
I've realized that I am pretty bad with sticking to the blogging scene. Sorry! No promises this time... but I know that once I get into the race season I will post quite a bit more frequently.
These are some photos from the Stewart Mtn 10 Mile challenge out at Thetis Lk. in the beginning of December. The race is put on by the Prairie Inn Harriers- and what an awesome race (swim- if you count those huge puddles)!! I did the 5.5 mile instead of the 10 and LOVED IT!

December already?!
The fact that it is already December is mind blowing. Well... not exactly, but I'm still a bit shocked that the year is almost over. Driving to swim practice earlier this week I realized that it was already a few days into December and I hadn't paid my rent or some other bills... oops
Classes are over and exams are starting. Luckily for me I only have 3 finals to write this term. The 10th, 17th and 20th and then two weeks off for the holiday break. This will be my first ever "green christmas" as I am staying in Victoria for the break. I will be coming back to Rossland in February for reading break and guaranteed powder skiing! My mum is driving down to visit me for a couple of days, and we will probably have Christmas dinner at the Empress Hotel.
Training has been going well. Nice and light with little intensity, but good focus on form and strength. I am excited to build up my base for the coming 2013 season! I have been spending some great "me" training time exploring the local trails and mountains. Running up Mt. Work was definitely a highlight and has geared me up to race Stewart Mtn 5miler out at Thetis Lk Park this weekend! There is also a 10mile option, but at this point in time I don't want to mess up my running progress and set anything back, so a 5 mile race with a good warmup/cooldown it will be!
Time to get back to studying ( gotta follow my study plan ;) )
Happy December and happy training!
