10km Weekend

Hey everyone,

Saturday was St. Patrick’s Day as most of you know. For me it wasn’t just St. Patrick’s Day, it was the day of my first 10km jog! Well there is a story to that. I didn’t end up doing a 10km jog; I ended up doing a 3.4 km jog and an hour hike in the bush.

Meghan, Jessica and I jogged 3.4km, then there was a huge hill and we didn’t want to run up it. I mean HUGE! If any of you have ever been to Kakabeka Falls national park and camped in the upper campground you know there is a big hill. Well this hill is steeper! Meghan and I thought the conservation path looked like the ones by the school. So we thought 'oh this will take us right back to the school'. We walked it a bit, ended up at a lake. We thought that the school beach was right around the corner so we were like 'let’s just take this dirt path'. Jessica was smart and decided to backtrack and run home that way. Meghan and I ‘followed' the path. We ended up getting lost in the bush for an hour. We were on trails; we just didn’t know where the trail was taking us.  There was still snow and it was melting. My feet were drenched! I was in shorts and a tee-shirt because we were running. So there I was walking through the bush in snow, wearing spandex. Meghan and I were so happy when we finally got back to the school. 

Today, Sunday, I decided to walk the 10km.  It is a very nice scenic route.  I went up the huge hill and around the bend to find out that half the route turned into a snow covered dirt road. I walked for about 20-30 min on the snow covered road before turning around. In total I walked about 9 km in 1 hour and 44 min.

Tomorrow, I am going for a swim after Pretty Little Liars! It will be fun! I will get to stretch everything.  I am surprised that I don't have more comments about who A is. I do enjoy the comments, so keep them coming.
