And We Worry About Getting OLD

This is going to be random and short but what the heck, here you go. Jay Leno had a 100 year old woman, Dorothy, on the Tonight Show. Watch this:


"Think positive and exercise every day" - Dorothy.

I have to say, I saw this video and immediately thought of  both of my Grandmothers. I've picked up a lot of insight over the years from their light-heartedness and positivity about life and have absolutely admired their sense of humour since I was young (by this standard I still am hehe). Watching this reminded me that we have a long time to live our lives and to enjoy what you're doing now. So that's what I'm working on. Oh, and don't abuse your credit card!

Later

"We Are Always Running for the Thrill of It"

To cap off the Europe glacier camp I've made a video of the three weeks all squashed into 5 minutes. I composed most of it on the flight back but ended up being a little slow on the finishing touches. If you didn't see the video from the Haig Glacier camp you can find that too on my YouTube page (eetribe). Check it out:




Today, I'm taking a break after returning from a 5 day camp just over the boarder in Lutsen, MN. A lot of intensity, rollerskiing, trail running and delicious dinner creations made for a successful camp.

We have an important event coming up this Friday called Nordic Fest. It's our biggest fund-raiser of the year and we have some great auction items lined up! I wanted to take this opportunity to say a great big thank-you(!!!) to Judi Fenton for donating a one-of-a-kind, hand-made quilt. It's a beautiful creation and sure to be a success.

I'm training in Thunder Bay until the end of November and then we head out west to Silver Star, BC to begin racing. I'll try to take some pictures over the next little while and hopefully they will include early skiing in Thunder Bay. We were skiing as of November 13th last year, so I'm holding my breath slightly, in hopes of an early snowfall.

Off to conquer "the list" ... of things to do today. Gotta love rest days for that!

Later!
