Up, down and all around.

Sat morning I got my orthotics... So far so good but it's a slow transition process!
I went to Squamish on Sat with the intention of climbing the Chief - but was sadly disappointed to learn how much it's changed. I remember a great hike up - this was an obstacle course of ladders, chain ropes and stairs. With the wet weather, I decided to turn back before I injured myself. This was not the type of training I was looking for.
So I headed down and hit Lynn Valley - spent about 1.5 hours in the trails and headed home. Felt a bit sore from the stairs I did during both hikes :o(
Today I went to White Pine and found myself finished the trip in just 25 minutes! What?! So I did the trek around the lake twice then went back to Buntzen to find hike for another few hours. My foot is a bit sore today but I'm not sure if it's because of the orthotic or the hikes?
The dreaded report cards continue looming over my head - but it was great to get out and hike in the sun and forget about them for a bit!
Go Canucks Go! Tomorrow there will be no training, unless I get a little walk in after the game. But I'm really hoping I'll be cheering loudly and celebrating the Canucks winning the Stanley Cup instead of heading out for a walk/run after the game!!!
