What a crazy couple of weeks! This is the first time I have been able to get on and blog. Well that's not totally true, I did make an attempt earlier this week but wasn't in a the most positive frame of mind. I figured I'd spare you all from my whining. To be honest over the past cou
ple of weeks I have struggled with my runs, first with shins slpints that turned out to really be Compartment Syndrome and then with my motivation.
ple of weeks I have struggled with my runs, first with shins slpints that turned out to really be Compartment Syndrome and then with my motivation.Last week we started with our hill training. That means that every week one run will be running up and down a hill over and over and over! Who does that??? Not my favorite run but I value the importance of training hills especially when I will be running a Marathon in San Francisco. I will admit my competitive side came out when I saw Julie grinning ear to ear running up the steepest hill in Clearwater like it was the easiest thing she has ever done! She has to be completely insane to LOVE running hill repeats as much as she does, but it's getting me up those hill so THANKS Jules! We have done Candle Creek hill repeats twice so far and I will admit they are getting better.
On Canada Day Julie, the Walker family and I held a fundraiser at the celebrations on Dutch Lake. Julie and I sold cold drinks while the Walker family sold deliciously decorated cupcakes. I think the only reason why we sold so many drinks was because everyone could help but buy a cupcake they looked so good. I can't thank the Walker family enough for all their hard work and support!
My twins had their 6th birthday party on 
Monday after Julie and I finished our long run for last week. My parents came up the following day. It was nice to have them up but I feel bas as I didn't get to spend as much time with them as I would have liked. I was run off my feet with organizing the 2nd Annual Strawberry Fest 5km Fun Run/Walk that took place today. The run was a success although many of the previous runners were unavailable this year.

When Sarah phoned me the next morning and told me how much they raised she had me in tears! I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and amazing support they have given me. I only wish I could have been able to make it down to play in the game and thank everyone personally!
