This was the LONGEST wait for Spring ever. Mother Nature
kept teasing us with warm weather, then snow, then record-highs, and more snow.
It was like a giant pinball game. I thought I’d never get outside for practice.
But I think the worst of the cool weather is behind us.
Which means, I’m trading in my gym pass for my outdoor sneakers and hitting the
pavement. Or the trails around Grandpa’s canola field.
Track and field training has begun, and if I want a leg up
on the competition, I need to push hard. I heard Lightening has already beat
his personal best!
Practice is essential but I know eating right and getting
lots of sleep also keep me fresh and fueled for the track. I’m powering through
Grandma’s delicious Strawberry smoothies, loading up on delicious fruits and
veggies, some protein, whole grains and a bit of healthy fats.
Now, if this wind
would just die down!
Gotta jet!
