| Teamed up with Mrs. Zoolander for the second annual Chuck Norris Orillian Fun Session for Adventure Jerks or whatever it is called. We watched AR legends dash madly around my neighborhood only to be beaten time-wise by Mrs.Z and me. Too bad we couldn't get any right answers...oh well there is always next year! |

| Once again Zoolander brought his paintball gun to the New Year's festivities so we headed into the bush to shoot one another. I have a great fear of guns and don't like the feeling of being hunted so I spectated for most turns. Slice did get me in the back of the head on her turn with the gun though and I think it has changed our relationship...... |

| Caro, AndyCam and I went out for a trail run along the Thames River where Phatty and AndyCam used to ride and run when they were kids. Of course a lot has changed since then and the subdivisions are getting awfully close to the trails in some spots. I had a pretty good wipe-out and have a nice bruise to show for it. |

| Phatty and I went out to Fanshawe Lake to run the trail around the lake. Didn't bring any food or water so really started to feel it about 1:30:00 into the run. Great trail though. |

| Ran with Phatty and Courtney along the rail trail at home. A short bushwhack just to make things interesting for Courtney who is usually on the basketball court. |

| Power Walking 1:00:00 [1] | |

| Okay too much power walking in the schedule and not enough running. One of my best friends from Orillia was home from Vancouver so I had to show her the trails around here. Not much of a runner so power walking had to be it. Great to chat and catch up though. No wildlife to be seen - too much chatting and laughing I guess. |

| Really wanted to take advantage of the beautiful day but could hardly stand up (due to female reasons) so popped some Advil and waited until I could at least get on the bike and do a easy but very uncomfortable ride for an hour. Painful since it was so sunny out. Powerwalking group again tonight - let's see if anyone shows up! |

| A gorgeous run with Phatty on my 31st birthday! We went up to my best friends new house in Snow Valley and hit some great (muddy trails) and even got a little turned around (oops didn't bring our compass). Luckily we could find our way back according to the sun..
We even saw a couple of deer, a coyote, and a few red-tailed hawks. |

| Went to go for a run and stepped outside to a major downpour. After whining (out loud) to myself I ran back inside and jumped on the trainer. I could only last for one hour even though I had planned on running for at least an hour and a half. Where is the damn snow? |

| A little warm-up before starting into intervals. Hard to really get going when watching some design show but I tried. Cooled down to "Days of Our Lives" - looks like Marlena isn't posessed by the devil like she was when I was in university (how do people watch that stuff?) |

| Some more leg strengthening with abs. |

| Started a walking group at the clinic to keep people motivated to stay active during the winter....Only one taker last night so I have to make some phone calls to get on everyone's case who signed up but didn't show... |

| Once again it is raining outside when it should be snowing. Decided to bite the bullet and get on the trainer while watching the Bourne Identity. Rode a pretty steady pace but picked it up in the fight scenes - couldn't help it. |

| Ran the waterfront trail in Niagara-on-the-lake. Down there for Zoolander and Ally's wedding. Sunny but really windy and had to work my way around all of the Santa Claus Parade goers. |

| Phatty is back from Bend, Oregon and even though he has been working like crazy he still came for a run with me. It's been a while for him and I think he is looking forward to some down time at Christmas to get out skiing and snowshoeing. We just ran around town since we didn't get going until 7:30. Can't wait to do some night trail runs in the snow! |

| Strength training 30:00 [2] | |
| |
| Decided it was time to add some strength training to the routine. Worked out in "Bakesy's Gym" doing some squats, lunges, abs, and stabilizing exercises with the ball. Wow it's been a while and did I ever feel it. I have to write down a program though so there is some method to the madness. Better than running around in there like I've never been to a gym before...I do truly hate working out inside though! What will I do when it comes to riding the trainer - torture. |

| The usual HVTA trail. My first entry how exciting! I have been reading the site but avoided joining for fear of exposing my weaknesses to other potential competition (lack of training). But now I have vowed to change my ways and I think being accountable will help me do what needs to be done for next season! |
