Indoor Season

I know that it's only been about a week since my last blog post, but somehow that feels like a while now. I figured maybe I was the only one that had noticed, and no one else really cared. But I happened to log on to check my blog stats and man, I've got quite the following! Weird considering I don't even tell many people about this blog... anyways thanks for the support through the cross country season. Probably nothing too interesting will be going on in the next little while, but I'll still write when it seems appropriate. Don't worry, I won't resort to describing how I brush my teeth every night. Hmm that seems like a common example for me, that's not how I think of other people's blogs, really. I need to get more creative though. Speaking of creative, how did I end up with such a creative sister?  Since we're on recovery mode this week I've been home a lot more and have watched her just sit down and come up with crazy-good artwork. While I struggle to draw stick-runners to put on the thank-out cards for my cross country coaches. At least they seemed to appreciate the effort. I got all (well actually there's only 7 of us) the graduating runners to sign it and it was a bit cheesy, but whatever. It's the thought that counts, right?
Oh and before I forget, another cross country update: the JV boys also won silver in their category! There had been a mix up in the results. And by mix up I mean they completely forgot to count the team. Oops, sucks to be the team that thought they had gotten third. Anyways, that makes it a complete sweep for Westgate, with all four teams getting medals!
So as I mentioned we are in recovery mode right now, it feels well deserved after a hard triathlon season follwed by a solid cross country season. Actually it's only about a week completely off. And by completely off I mean we still do strength training and circuits, running just for fun, team meeting, and I still go to athletic therapy for my shoulders that completely suck. But other than that it's still a rest. Next week we start indoor training. To be honest I'm actually really looking forward to it. There's something about settling back into that routine, the familiar disgusting air of Max Bell, not worrying about warm clothing or getting all over the city with a bike... not to mention knowing I have a solid base and getting in some good track workouts and sweaty bike hours. I like indoor season. That was actually quite poetic. If you have a very narrow definition of "fun" and "poetic." Anyways, I'll keep ya posted...
