Updates a week later

It's been a week now back in Winnipeg! A bit of a crazy week trying to catch up with school and life in general, but surprisingly I didn't actually miss that much in school. One teacher even decided not to teach stuff until another kid and I got back which was pretty sweet. I am for sure missing the heat in Arizona! Send me back and I'll train super hard everyday. Haha but I will admit it's been a much needed recovery week. I have actually taken the entire week off from swimming. Every day I've thought 'hmm maybe I'll go tomorrow...' but no luck. I guess it's probably better to give my shoulders an actual recovery; I put them through a lot in Tucson. I also went for a much needed massage today. My tennis ball can only do so much. Otherwise, I find the OYO or 'on your own' workouts to be kind of boring but at least I've been able to get together with friends some days to do them. I also have another MRI tomorrow morning. At least this time I'm not really nervous about it, just kind of annoyed that I have to do it a second time. I guess last time they got lower down but not actually the rotator cuffs? Or something like that. I'm just thinking that getting another MRI will still show nothing really wrong that we didn't already know about. Oh well.

Tonight I spent my time watching the first big race of the year live from Sydney on Triathlon TV Live (thanks Omi and Opa, awesome gift!). Both the women's and men's raced were quite exciting to watch. I know all of us were cheering for Sarah but unfortunately the race didn't go as planned for her. Kathy Trembly had a great race coming 8th; Lauren Campbell was 24th. In the men's race we had Kyle Jones in 13th, Simon Whitfield in 18th, and Brent McMahon in 20th. There were lots of mini races going on between athletes from the same countries because of Olympic qualifying spots, which really added to the excitement!

I don't think too much else is new. Today I ran in the rain. Snow might make me cry but I actually like rain. At least I tell myself I do and it usually works. I even have a song I listen to called "Happy when it Rains." I've also been continuing work on taking the rabbit apart so if that is of interest to you check out the other blog. I need to update it a bit more though I guess, that will be coming soon. Also, it seems like while I was away everyone has seen the movie The Hunger Games at least once. I feel like I should see it now, but I usually get around to seeing movies at my own pace. Apparently the amount of people that do archery is quickly increasing because of this movie. Imagine if there was a super popular movie that happened to be about triathlon... ok sorry now I'm just being a tri-geek. As usual I guess. Anyways, that's it for now. I'll probably still update about once a week so don't forget to check back once in a while.
