On The Road Again

I have to admit I wasn't completely ready to leave the nest and venture back out onto the circuit. A few leisurely days at home would have been nice.

Not so much. Therefore I took my tail to Pearson airport yesterday and rode a plane to Stockholm city. With or without me the season continues. And with me is much better since I can pay my rent this way.

I worked out Tuesday for the first time since Nationals and managed a quick set of snatches and hurdle skill.


My body was ready to get back in to it more than my mind, so I had to check my lethargy at the car park. I reminded myself that there is lots of season left and I'm still in the hunt for the faster times I'm craving.

The DN Galan Diamond League is two rounds of hurdles this Friday August 6. cbcsports.ca is covering the stream live @2-430pm ET. The television broadcast is Saturday August 7 @2-330p ET.

I will be spending the entire month of August in Europe, which means I'll be spending my birthday alone...again. I don't really mind, except it's the big "Three-oh". And who wants to commemorate such a milestone alone?--in Croatia?!--again?!!.. (smells like August 2006).

But it's whatever, such is a life of a stick jumper extraordinoire in her prime and in demand. Gotta soak this up while it lasts. Don't think they request 50yo stick jumpers very much these days.
