Have you ever had a moment in your life when you acheive something and have said to yourself "I don't know if it could better than this?" I have, it was the week of October 8-14 when I ran 73.10km. I've used that week as a basis of trying to achieve a new level of success. It's hard though, it's like trying to make a Bannock better than my mom's, or a rice pudding better than my late grandmother's. It's tough to do.
This week has been great, I have had some wonderful runs. The highlight, of course, was the Tom Longboat run. It was inspiring to run with people and feel the encouragement from other people. Usually running is a solitary activity, I decide to head out the door alone and take off in and get caught up my own world.
Running works!! I was struggling with something this week. I was a little stumped on my speech for the JC Hill School Grad luncheon, so I went for a run without my ipod to get my brain greased up. And what do you know, it worked! Unleashing the inner Monkey Dog was born. I am pleased to report, that it's sticking. I have heard some great feedback from students and parents about how effective that statement was.
I'm just about to head out to Prince Rupert BC for a conference. I'm not sure what my distance is going to be next week, sometimes I have a hard time fitting in a good run when I work 14 hour days. I'm hoping to have another 40 km week. I'm going to push myself, and boldly say 50 km. GULP!!
We had about 40 people show up for this year's Steppin' into 2007 up in Moose Factory. The temperature was warm for January 1st. I was hoping it would be cold (-20 or so) but I beleive ot was only about -5. I want to thank my mom and dad for co-sponsering this event.
