So season 1 ended, season 2 is about to begin... but even in the "off-season" there are medals to be had... check out the fabulous weekend I just had! A serendipitous paddle that netted a much coveted gold medal for about 55 seconds of work; and a 10K dash through my now-favorite-city-slash-second-home as part of the Montreal Marathon that earned me another medal, yes, but also my best run time EVER. I did it in 55:38 - and with an effed up foot to boot. Yaaaa! My running partner (not G for once - she had adventures of the family kind instead.. and much needed they were!) exceeded his expectations too... it was just perfect. So many firsts this weekend...
Season 2 of the road to Hong Kong starts October 10. The training will be murder. Our first fit test is set for November 26 (guess that means no turkey, no pumpkin or pecan pie, no nothing on the 24th!); and the roster for Hong Kong is being announced on December 5th. Good thing the Biggest Loser is back... we need the inspiration. Presently we're considering developing our own crazy-outdoor-in-the-woods-monster training session - with the help of Coach A (should he accept the challenge, woodland creatures and bugs) - and are just SO pumped to GET. IT. DONE.
Ok - gotta go train...!
