His pace is a tad faster than my casual 1hr morning runs with 130-150 avg HR, my targeted zones right now.....hard to keep it that slow some times.

Days OFF work starting today.....skate ski tomorrow in Lake Louise if it does not snow too much tonight.

Not sure if in our schedules with family and all but I wish as we have had amazing days here

Gift for X mas

Looking for a gift for somebody interested in improving nutrition, check Dave's gift card option
http://twitter.com/#!/eatperforma

Good on him for helping Christian Meier with nutrition now  http://twitter.com/#!/christianmeier
Would be interesting to see what an athlete like Christian eats for performance.

Like I said earlier, very luck to have bumped into Dave.

Skating party

Jack built a bench for his tools, Seth could not sleep at night wanting to play with tools instead

Grandpa Bob gave Seth his 1st set of clubs...just the start

Skating party was hilarious! Perfect venue at Banff Rec Centre

Thanx Jane for making the cake, delicious!

Rory motoring along now


Random note, hear a slide triggered to the ground inbounds at the Lake off Ptarm chair yesterday....play safe out there.

Seth turned 3 years old today, wow time flies! He is at playschool with mom currently being Helper of the day, brought his tool belt for show and tell that he received this morning.

46 piece tool set, should have seen his eyes when he opened it

Already fixing things

Snow and rest week

Woke up to this 


e


Week 4 of this training phase = rest week. Even though it is a building block, still require a week of rest for recovery. Few activities on the go, hours are just cut down substantially. Reading more and more on this periodization training which is all very exciting to me.

Looking outside right now and it has started to rain...crazy weather!

Seth has been skating now 5 times at Johnston Lake. Of course, the little crazy kid has picked it up being able to skate 5 or 6 strokes on his own now.

Both Marnie and I are shaking are heads as we do not wish to be sitting in a hockey arena for the next 15 yrs, but we'll see what happens  :)


Flying around holding onto the net


Cousins in sled, Seth left side on his own


Loving the new mixture of intervals Dave has introduced to me to. This combined with strength workouts and other activities have made for another fun week of keeping active. Marnie just finished her own '30 day challenge' of yoga practicing an average of 6 days / week, this has got her back into it to start teaching again next month.
