Sun, snowboarding, hiking..must mean school's out!

Nothing beats a good couple hours in the sun with a great book. Top it off with a knock-out breakfast and its a great morning start..(err...afternoon by now?) I've been feeling pretty lazy the past 4-5 days and its shown in my energy levels and exercise routines. This morning my legs felt like lead. I had initially packed a gym bag, but opted out and went for a 6k run instead and did some core/arm strengthening when I got back. It is a BEAUTIFUL warm, sunny day. The run took longer than usual but I didn't mind too much because it was so hot and the sea was sparkly today.

Although I've been slacking in the workout department.. I DID get some great snowboarding in on wednesday! Annelise, her friend Katie and I went up to grouse for what I think is the last run of the season. The snow was getting slushy and the weather was pretty mild. But, harder snow conditions makes for a harder workout. I think my thighs grew about an inch in diameter after the day was done haha!


Yesterday some friends and I took advantage of yet again another great day and went over to Deep Cove on the north shore to do some hiking. Deep cove is a cute little nook of a town with great outdoorsy things. The hike was only under 2 hours but still really nice - my first hike of the year! Some of the terrain was steep, definitely a good test of fitness..yikes! Next time we're going to bring bikes and do the biking trails around the cove.
Obvs super excited for a great day!

Anywho.. I have a lot of things to get done today before work. Bank run, phone calls, packing up..clean room, eek! I'm looking forward to a couple hours later when I can sit down and spend some time reading the Word. I've been reading Revelation the past couple days - it is such an amazing yet confusing book. I have read it before, but it seems like each time I read it, I am remembering stuff that I had completely forgotten. I'm hoping God teaches me some valuable stuff today.
