Winter Update

I'm still here, and still there.

The Strathmore Women's Triathlon in August was a blast!

Orienteering was fun too. We might not go for the whole junior program again this summer, but we will definitely show up for some fun in the parks with the maps and the FWOC again.

I survived directing the Robert Hamilton Memorial Race for the first time. This year I have a new co-director helping me out. Hopefully together we'll make some improvements and enjoy keeping this great tradition going. 2009's event is scheduled for July 12.

My experience at Moose Mountain this year was all that I'd hoped and trained for! It felt really really good to reach the top of the mountain, and of course I thoroughly enjoyed the descent.

This winter I'm sticking to the Calgary Roadrunners Grand Prix Cross Country series and training sporadically with the 10k group. I hope to reduce the "sporadic" part of that last sentence in 2009.

In non-running news, late this summer I taught myself to knit. It is fabulous how many tutorials, videos, diagrams and free patterns the internet offers. My favourite knitting website is Ravelry. Awesome place!

Have a great winter. Stay warm!
