On Sunday I was up for going for a little trail run and Amber had heard about some nice trails at the Wapiti Nordic Centre. It was a great place to run and I wanted to go for at least 90mins but after 30mins my body was telling me that was it! I was so physically drained and felt as if I could not put one foot in front of another, it literally took everything in me to just run 30mins. I was really disappointed but I gained solace in the fact that Amber had a good day and we were in an incredibly beautiful place. It was hard to feel down when you were surrounded by nature and in a magnificent enviroment. North West Alberta is definitely a beautiful place to be in the spring and summer, who would have thought? I love our new home.
Today I was really apprehensive about getting on the bike again after having such a difficult ride on Saturday. AD was my little motivator and got me out the door and I'm glad she did. I took it easy and stayed in my recovery zone, the wind was full force again on the way out and I had the opportunity to ride with my girl. She stayed in my draft for most of the ride and we had a great day together. It wasn't that hot out so I wasn't worried about running out of water but by the time we got to Sexsmith (70km) we were ready for a little break. We finished the day with a 5km transition run and I felt great again, thank God! A great weekend and we had a lot of fun going our for our rides/ runs while we watched the neighbours do yard work all weekend. Ha ha suckers.
