Today’s wo looked easy on paper but “If you do it right, this will be harder than it looks!”. I guess I did it right…we all did! The session went like this:  4 sets of 30″ (30″) 60″ (45″) 90″ (60″) 30″ flat out with 2mins between sets. The aim of each set […]

Today was a scheduled day of and I topped a day off of nuttin’ with a massage! Kim will be doing a special treatment on me next week and it sounds like it’s going to be a doozy!
I bought a high-powered blender a couple of weeks ago, one recommended by Kev and […]

I did an easy recovery run running at Cedar Hill this morning and got some singing practising in too. I had such a great catch-up last night with my sleep!
Syl and I met Dave and Paul at Beckwith Park. After an easy 15 minute warm-up we were put through the Plyometric drills, this time […]

Getting up this morning was a real treat, I’ll tell ya! Juice and I planned on driving up island to run the Comox Half marathon this morning so we had to be up and out the door by 7:30 and after a second night of less than 6 hours sleep we were regretting […]

So our lovely neighbors next door decided to have a party on the balcony last night and it sounded like they were drinking and partying right in our room until 3:30am. I made a couple of calls to the front desk and even poked my head out to ask them to keep it […]

Juice and I did an easy run along the goose, just a 15 minute out and back. My legs feel a bit heavy today so I hope they recover a bit more by tomorrow. We met Dave J, Paul O’Cal and Gray B at Paul’s place so we could all catch the […]

Selena picked out a pile of repertoire for me to look at to get some ideas for programming concerts for next year. Some of the rep I had in mind was what she suggested too and some stuff I never even thought or heard of. I can hardly wait to get working on this […]

I did an easy 30 minute shuffle around Cedar Hill this morning. Because of the time change it’s dark when I start out but there’s enough light by the time I make it to the trail. I was feeling tired again this morning so I have to be careful and get enough […]

I had a scheduled day off yesterday which was good because I was still feeling run-down. I woke up today feeling loads better so I think I managed to stave off a cold. Juice and I got up early and got a 30 minute run in at an easy pace at Cedar […]

I woke up feeling pretty crummy this morning but because my warm-up felt ok, and because I feel fairly fit, I couldn’t tell how I was going to do but I was leaning towards not doing so hot. Paul biked to the race and was at the start-line to see us off and reminded […]
