Being back and having new shoes I have slowly worked my way back to what I was doing in previous weeks and I couldn't be more excited. Solid days of running, even in the heat. The shoes were giving me a bit of pain at the start because I hadn't used them and got the feel, yet slowly as the days have gone on they have become one with my shoes.
Monday: Ran 5km
Tuesday: Ran 9km
Wednesday: Ran a wicked 14km
****Donated blood for the first time too, it was soo neat. I felt like a better person because of it. And I think I may defintly do it again.
Thursday: 5km
Friday: No run
Saturday: 7km
Sunday: No run to claim for today, but I went horseback riding for the first time in ages. It was incredible. The Outdoors club I think was my favourite thing I have done so far this year. The people are amazing and we get to do the neatest things. Of course I got the horse that poop's none stop but meh it was wicked going along the escarpment.
NEW GOAL: the goal for now is to work my way back up to around 15 to 17km maybe twice a week. I would love to drive to do another full or half in November here's hoping.

B-Rocking the Halls
It's defiantly that time of year again, where I'm back in action at Brock. Working hard at school, and living in a new house. After many grueling hours packing, and dreading coming back they all seemed to get put behind as soon as I stepped into my new house. It’s weird how after a few days of being upset things can turn completely around. After spending my long labour day weekend, upset and really wishing the summer would continue forever I was told some really good advice. My friend said Steph sometimes you “Need the rain to love the sun. Things will get better... but for now. being a little off is totally ok”. And you know what he was totally right. I gave myself a few days to be upset, and then before I knew it I was back in action. Back to my positive self, fully enjoying life. I think I need to allow myself to be upset when those times come, rather then just trying to push it off, or pretend it’s not happening.
With that thought in mind, and being back to me. I got back into my running, having quiet a few good 10k runs, also followed with a few decent bike rides. I have joined a outdoors club within the school which I absolutely love. We already have been on a wicked hike to DeCew falls. It’s amazing, when the pictures get posted I’ll be sure to add some. I’ve been out, seen old friends, played video games, and did multiple trips on the bus. Of course I have been attending school but there is so much more to life then just schooling, thus in my fourth year I decided it’s now time to take advantage. I have decorated my new place as well as found a job.
I find ever since I started running my determination has increased dramatically. I am really excited for fourth year and everything that is has to bring. Let’s hope I can get a few races under the belt before the snow falls.

to the staff of '09
As another 3 months finish I realize where my heart lies. It lies in the smiles and laughter of each child who entered our day camp week after week. It lies in the traditional games of soccer, the rainy days and even the tears from upset campers. It lies in the first week of camp right until the last. As the buses pulled away today from the final busing hill, I realized this was it. Another summer, another camp session and one last amazing day with the people who I hold so dearly.
I can't believe how fast these times have passed, and how many memories were made. I will miss the staff socials, the "unoffical" staff socials, the nights of paintball, and coldstone creamery. I will miss the dirty jokes and "thats what she said" lines. I will miss the nicknames and the morning circles (that slowly failed as the summer went on. I will miss the break spot, and the incredible games of dodgeball, especially counsellor vs. campers. But I think most of all I will miss the staff. Some of us go way back, years back and I think thats what made the goodbyes so much harder, this year. Some goodbyes couldn't even be made because I know it would have been that much harder. I know there will be some who I keep in touch with, others who I wish I had, and some who will drift off into their own amazing lives. This summer brought more laughter, more smiles, and way more memories.
Whereever or whatever you all do I wish you all the best, I just wanted to re-say what sarah had wrote and let you know that I hope you remember how much of a difference you have made in some of these kids lives! They will never forget the experiences and memories that were created at camp, but more importantly, they will always remember the people who made a difference." Thank you all for the amazing messages in my memory book. They all mean so much. I love you all.
p.s I like turtles too :)
