Oh my I am so happy I finally got some time to log on and read all these posts. It makes me happy to read about all the progress and adventures and new possibilities. It feels good to feel happy for a change. I am ready to leave 2016 behind and start anew.
Last week: skated 4x, felt really good and really enjoyed them all. We've had huge amounts of snow (which is extremely unusual for Vancouver to have ANY snow) so I added in a xc ski session (first in ages) and a MTB Snow ride. :-) So much fun!
For this week, I decided to commit to nothing other than our last skate of 2016, which was fantastic. I also booked Monday off work (Snow day - there was heaps and I was not driving 2+hrs each way for a 6hr shift - sorry!) to spend with K. We loafed around the house, played in the snow, made tea (she's a big tea nerd - got a tea advent calendar from David's Tea which is pretty spectacular stuff I must say as a non-regular tea drinker), went out for a bit of final shopping, had poutine for lunch... it was a really great day and I'm glad I took the time off work to spend with her. I would like to get a run in for the 24th, watch the Packers game, dinner with family, then quick overnight trip (25->26) to Kelowna to visit in-laws. I am hoping the weather will be OK enough for the next week to attempt the Rapha #festive500 (ride 500km in between Xmas and NY).
Happy holidays everyone and I hope you all enjoy your time with friends, family, furbabies, cookies... whatever fills you with joy!
