Wow**** what another awesome day in Calgary!
Today was my Sunday so I got up at 7am and got my 1.5 hr x-training session out of the way so that I could spent all day with Tikka and Trent outside! For x-training days (1-2 per week) I am mixing it up with some elliptical training workouts, and an assortment of dvd's. I just received these 3 new ones in the mail...Love them all..especially Cathe, (what a workout...it is out of this world)! You can preview the videos on Exercise video specialist. Patrick and Cathe I can't find in Canada so I ordered on line.
After a shower and Breakfast we decided to venture south down to Fish creek park and explore some trails. First we were going to hike some of the13.1 mile route that I ran in the Calgary Harvest Half on October 09', but when we got there we found a separate trail that had a real mountain feel, with lots of large spruce and fir trees so we decided to explore that area. West Shannon Terrace. We were not disappointed. We saw some deer, great landscape and some heritage landmarks . We headed back after 1.5 hrs and had a pre-packed snack in the car before going to Costco to grab some crab meat and sticky rice for sushi! They also had some great blackberries and blueberries that I couldn't resist!
Have you heard of Clean Eating? If not check out this link! Its addictive and a good addiction to have! Trent made the California Rolls from the Dec 09' Vol 3 mag which I love and he added crab to his! These magazines are jam packed with great info and recipes for a healthy active lifestyle.
Cheers :)
Hi Barb,
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of Fish Creek Park. I like to bike to there from Beddington, nice long ride.
I just found your response back to me this morning! I did that marathon last year and I'm signed up to do the half this year. Your training for the marathon seems to be going well. I am also signed up to do the Police Half in April and the Running Room St Pat's 10km in March. I see you are also doing the Footstock in June. I did that one two years ago. Cochrane is such a pretty little town.
I wonder what part of the east coast you are from? I'm from Nova Scotia!

Hey Andra
ReplyDeleteWow you bike from beddington to fish creek!What route do you take? Is it the one passing by the zoo? I am trying to find some long trail routes for running this summer...maybe not that far for running lol!! But, I'd give it a try! I want to change up my paths so I keep motivated. Sometimes the same old routes can get tiring :)
I see you have a great line up for your 2010 running! That's awesome. I really wanted to do the police half but we booked vacation and it ended up being during the race date.
I am actually from Newfoundland, but my Mom is from Nova Scotia and I spent every summer there visiting my grandparents! My husband and I also lived there from 2000 to 2005! We lived in Fall River until he got transferred and we ended up in Ontario and finally here in Calgary.
We hope to retire in Nova Scotia someday...maybe in the valley! Which part are you from?
Sorry I such a rambler :, I think it's the Newfie in me lol....Have a fun Week
