S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y!

This is getting to be like work...my little project is taking up a bit of time...but only 2 more days to blog...

SATURDAY!
7:00am up and at em! On the computer registering TEAM ELM in the YETI snowshoe race for next weekend and Snow 2 Surf for April... doing laundry...getting my running gear ready...still trying to sort out setting up SCORE as a video download available for purchase on the site...breakfast and coffee...reading a bit...relaxing...all in my housecoat!

9:30 meet with for our usual but kicking Saturday morning mountain run...

10-12...MOUNTAIN RUN! Check out my last blogpost for a cool gps map of our route...here are the photos...some of my favorites:)

What river is this??? Looks like something out of National Geographic if you ask me!


Liz clearing the Comox Lake Main of boulders for the loggers! Look at that heavenly sunshine! It was foggy in town but as soon as we started climbing we were above the clouds and into sweet sunshine!


My view going uphill behind Liz...if I could only keep up with her that long!



UP she goes...1000 feet in 10 minutes...



Under the jumps on Red Rotor...




At the top of Red Rotor where it meets Boston Ridge Trail ...by the log jam...we found a little piece of heaven...




Down we goooooo! Geckos everywhere on the Gecko trail! That trail builder Claud? was out and about digging and chopping and cutting...he is a wonderful man for making all these fantastic trails for us...we would be running on the -gasp- road! if it weren't for people like him and his black dog...



Peckerhead trail...one of the most elaborate trail signs I have ever seen out there...



A new name for a recently built trail... looks like he decided to call it Catnip...we were hoping for Foghorn Leghorn...long story...



A perfect spot for a rest...someone is really at home out here and even built their own bench...





At the finish line our hot drinks and home baked goodies awaited us! A PERFECT day and a perfect run...thanks Liz!

Home....light the fire in the sauna...then putter about while it heats up...
Mixed up a batch of my 'sarabars' Caribbean Chews today... available in the NRG cookbook...
2:00-4:00...Work on some stuff in the office...
4:30-5:30pm Then it is sauna time...
I spent over an hour in the sauna today...stretching and reading Macleans mag...it is the only magazine we can take in there because it is held together by staples and not glue...
Look at Brads amazing handywork...stainglass gives us a nice bit of lighting in there...


Stove is a blazing and it is hot hot hot!



Time to come inside and try out a new ReBar recipe...Focaccia...I turned half of it into homebaked pizza... OMG I can't even tell you how good that was...you will just have to try it for yourself!

Hockey...relaxing...reading...life is too good to me...
