This summer I:
--> ran my first ultra (50K)
--> ran a marathon
--> actually rode my new bike and participated in a few time trials
--> tried Hot Yoga for the first time, loved it!
--> Participated in the Jay Challenge, and climbed a 4000ft mountain and ran in a mountain stream
--> had my first full beer ever and really enjoyed it (I normally don't drink beer)
--> Travelled to Ottawa, Jay Vermont, Collingwood, Quebec City, and Parry Sound several times
--> Completed 9 Yasso repeats in track training - still working on 10 repeats, tough!
Not bad for two months!! Especially the beer part, I'm definately a wine-girl.
All in all its been a great summer. We went to a cottage last night north of Parry Sound to enjoy one last bit of cottage country. Hubs brought his guitar and we had a good time singing around the campfire.
Aaahhhhhhhhh!!
Alas, it time for refocus. I love the fall, its my favourite running season. Cheers to cooler weather for runners!

ReplyDeleteYou've accomplished so much this summer, I'm rather jealous as my first 50k race won't be until April 2009. I'll be keeping an eye on your further "adventures!"
