| Orienteering 1:06:00 [3] | |
| |
| Course out at Lac Beauchamp. Never run in that area before and it was really nice. Lots of rocky open areas and trails all over the place, making it extra important to keep an eye on your compass. |
| Hockey 1:00:00 [5] | |
| |
| On the olympic size ice again today so lots of 'fast' skating against a much better team. We were lucky to have only lost by two goals. I had an exciting breakaway from deep in our own zone but ended up with the puck on the wrong side and had to do a weak ass back hand shot right to the goalie. Foiled again! |

| My mom is setting her first orienteering course and I got to run it yesterday to give her a time estimate. I did my best to put in a fast time while still hitting the small pieces of flagging tape. I only made a couple mistakes... If anyone is in the Ottawa area on May 9th you should come run the course. It's free for all new-comers and those running with new-comers. www.ottawaoc.ca |

| Hockey 1:00:00 [5] | |
| |
| First game of our new hockey season. An unexpected, but definitely well earned win for the good guys. A bunch of new players this season and the team looks pretty good. A lot of older ladies (a couple grammas) but as long as they enjoy the beer after the game routine they're good with me. |

| Quick brain clearing run with Mochizuki and Nickita. We've all got crazy weeks on our hands so it was a much needed stress reliever for all of us. |

| Mochizuki and I did the Westboro, Quebec, War Musium loop. Lots of people out today enjoying the beautiful weather. My hammies were super tight. I think I need to visit Dr. Geoff for some help... |

| Absolutely great ride today! Warm and sunny, and the parkway was still closed to cars so Killer Kailey and I could chat to our hearts content. Rode from downtown and did the gatineau loop, with a mandatory stop at the look-out. |

| Got a free week membership at Goodlife. Sure is a different place to work out. I much prefer the companionship I find in Gatineau Park... I need to work on my strut and get some sexy outfits for when I go back. I did some biking, a weird ellipse thing and the stair eating machine (my favourite cuz it looks so dangerous). |

| Nothing like spring time at Bruce Pitt. The snow has melted and the fresh smell of dog shit is in the air. At least Skyler got to frolic in the grass with other poochies. |

| Exciting run along major roads out to the Park N Fly to pick up my parents' van. Tough to have cars whiz by me after spending the weekend up in the Gats. |
