We've made the big move indoors now, and it's fantastic. This feeling will most likely change come February, but for now indoors is heaven. Mostly because it's dry and warm! This will be a huge benefit as apparently (according to my mum) Hurricane Sandy is supposed to come-a-knockin' in the next few days. Bringing some serious wind and rain. Dry sounds real good now..
This past week was reading week (only for uOttawa and one other school though) so sorry to all other uni goers, but it was awesome. All we did was train, eat, sleep and train again. I love that life. But tomorrow we get back to school again; although, practices will keep rolling on as usual just with less sleeping in the middle of the day. Not too happy about that, but what can you do..Will weights and all that good stuff getting serious here's a funny picture I found floating around the internet. Zachy and Lou this is for you! haha
The combined events group has been and continues to work hard this fall and with the increased volume of this season building on last years workload, Pat and a few others have been suffering some lovely runner pains known as shin splints. A combination of transitioning onto a harder surface and more mileage can sometimes have that affect on an athlete. The minor aches can sometimes turn into major pains when not treating them proactively. There are also a few more hands in the cookie jar helping out with the group, making it ever more important that communication between athletes and coaches be a regular occurence. On that note we are all very excited for this season both indoors, and outdoors. Just in case you're suffering as well here's a few random stretches that may help.

Lastly, Pat and I received a nice surprise the other morning getting mentioned in a video hyping the past 2012 Woerden Athletics Invitational that we went to in August. Here's the video compliments of Henk Bakker and all the Woerden Athletics organizers: https://vimeo.com/52226580

Well this was just a brief post, getting our feet moving again. Stay tuned!
