Life

I have always been one of those people who is very polarized on how I can accept things. Either I accept it really easy or not at all. I have tried to become more centered and less black white but it takes time and effort. This thought was brought up after my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer in July. He arrives back to Calgary Saturday and I am still having issues accepting it. At first it was easy to cry and mourn but as the initial shock has worn off I find myself in limbo, a sort of going through the actions of belief but not truly believing phase. I guess it may just be hard to accept that in mere months the man who has largely defined who I am may be gone. Sure he will live on in our thoughts and memories but the phone call about how to do such and such on the car, house or pretty much anything hands on will not be available. The person I call anytime I have big news will be gone.

At least we have a few more tomorrows to create memories and hope the tomorrows continue.

New Year

So it is the New Year and I have taken it upon myself to attempt to write more frequently on this blog. I am going back to the original purpose of this blog, to document my training and thoughts leading up to Transrockies 2011.

This Christmas season I ate to much exercised to little and now it is time to get back on track. With that in mind this morning I put on my new running shoes and went for a nice hour long run in -20 C conditions. It amazes me how much warmer it feels while running then biking. Biking today I froze, running I was overly hot. I do believe that running a few times a week is in order while the weather is cold and I am uninspired to go riding.

Until next time and hopefully with photos.
