Back in the groove

Well, what a weekend.  I'm back...

Saturday was busy enough, but I still managed to get a nice 10K walk done.  Felt really good with no extra aches nor pains.  Bring it on Sunday!

I'm registered...yes, even though it is only for a 10K clinic, it's all good!  I ran a nice 10K with some of my friends from the Running Room along the Trans Canada Trail from Kanata to the eastern edge of Stittsville and it Felt GREAT!  Tonight is clinic night...I'm actually looking forward to it, even in the dark and cold.

After the run on Sunday the group I ran with all scampered home to tidy up and regroup...yes it was going to be "the girls" afternoon at the Wine and Food Show at Landsdowne Park in Ottawa.

Cheers!

Talk about an absolute hoot and if you love people watching you'd be in heaven.  I know I was!  Obviously stiletto high heels and patterned stockings are all the rage as well as short, short skirts.  (I have belts that are wider than some of the skirts I saw on the young newbies with legs up to their ears!).  We all had a great time wandering around sampling wine and food.  I even had a very cute man wander over to me with an oyster on a half shell.  Too funny!  I slurped it down and gave him a hug and asked him if I looked like I needed help!!   Once the show was over for the day and for the year, we went off to the Taj Mahal Restaurant for dinner and more laughter.

Overall, I'd rate this weekend as a 10.

Who forgot to change their clocks?

not me, in fact I had changed them and before I went to be I changed them again!!

Anyway, I'm up and eating porridge, yes, you've guessed it, I'm back to running on Sunday's with the gang at the  Running Room.  Just the 10K clinic, but it will be the support and encouragement I need for now.  Now I just need to find all my winter running gear.

My plan for the winter month's will be to continue to run, but no great distances just yet, do a lot of cross country skiing and go to the pool on Saturday afternoons.  Because of my work schedule and money constraints this year due to having to put in a new well, fix the house, get a new gas fireplace, brakes for the car....yes, you get the idea, I'm tapped...so swimming will only be during the adult swim on Saturday's.   Next weekend I'm going orienteering in the Gatineau's with a good friend of mine...what a riot, I'll let you know how it goes.

I'd better get a move on to get into town on time, then we are off the Wine and Food Show for the afternoon...now where are my winter running pants???

Life's fun if you don't weaken,
