An Awesome Roadtrip

Hey, it has been too long since I posted anything. I recovered from my injuries but had to stop running for awhile. The injury healed but I began to lose too much weight. (Be careful who you say that to i.e. losing weight.) With my job as a landscaper/gardener it was not feasible to consume enough healthy food. However I did lead some amazing hikes during the summer. Now I am back to running. It appeared that my job would be over for the winter at the end of October so I planned a roadtrip through the States, specifically Utah, Arizona and Calif. I plan to do some great hikes, some running and then relax in San Diego. Now I may have to work in November until the snow comes. Do I pray for snow to fall, yes! Too bad that I already purchased my travel insurance. There was a minor mishap ($3600) with a customer that I work for privately which involved her backing into my parked car and it being in the autobody shop for three weeks. Now I need snow tires on and an oil change. I am so gungho about this trip!

Ouch!

It's been a while since I've had anything to say since I fell down two weeks ago and injured my left palm and knee. Sure I tried to still run and bike but the scab on my knee needed time to heal. Working six days a week at landscaping should be enough exercise but I've 'sorely' missed the running. But tomorrow I will attempt to go back to my running. There were a couple of great hikes last weekend too and one involved a gourmet lunch together during our hike.

R and R is a Thing of the Past

We decided to go without TV or computer for a week which explains why there has been no new postings. I did run at least 8km every day this past week in spite of working 8 hour days at the golf course as a gardener. There is very little spare time now for fun and games except for the odd hike. I led a hike at Skaha Bluffs last weekend and yesterday climbed Pincushion Mt. near Peachland with friends.
