life is good

This weekend I felt truly blessed. I have my health and great friends. I ran 22 km this afternoon in the blazing heat. I ran after Jon and Carleigh left for Edmonton. We had a great brekky send off.

I ran the usual long run to Discovery Canyon/Riverbend XCountry Ski Trails. I went into the trails to cool off because the sun was draining. I felt really great throughout the run.

Last night we had 5 bottles of wine on the table. Today would have been messy if I had indulged. Instead I had maybe 3 glasses at most. Jon drank his share, my share and a little of Carleigh’s share. Pretty funny because you would never take him for a wine drinker.

We made salad/spring rolls for dinner after the football game. Fun times. It’s a fun meal because everyone is responsible for his/her own food. Then we watched the Remembering Jack Layton special from earlier in the day. It was moving.

Back to my run … felt great, felt strong. Only 69 days until New York. I am so excited.
