Spring has arrived in Red Deer. The snow is finally melting at warp speed. Well, not quite but it is melting quickly. I can’t tell you how good this makes me feel.

I went to the Health and Wellness Show this morning at the Westerner. It was pretty much the same as the ones in Grande Prairie – lots of crap for weight loss and other money grabs. I wasn’t impressed.

Lindsay Wagner was the keynote speaker. She was really interesting. Not sure if she is still acting but she hosts workshops and writes cookbooks. As the keynote speaker, she talked about Personal Perspectives and guided us into a 15-minute meditation. It was weird to be meditating in the middle of a noisy expo. I was inspired a little.

I went for a walk around Bower Ponds afterwards. It was nice to get out in the fresh air. Tomorrow I am running 18k so I am taking it easy for the rest of the night.
