@#$%$ weather

I really hate to complain BUT... SERIOUSLY!!!!

This cold/snowy/winter weather is really annoying me.   I know it's pointless to get upset about things I cannot change and have absolutely no control over BUT.. SERIOUSLY!

Monday night bike was cancelled again.  We were given a few options instead... run, a fitness class at the YWCA.   I chose to go swimming.  I'm glad I did as I struck up a conversation with a woman swimming in my lane and turns out she is a Tri It volunteer.. Karen (I think).  It was just fun to make that connection.   Also, she is a great swimmer and although I couldn't keep up to her, it caused me to push myself a little harder than I otherwise might have.

I'm not able to go on the run tonight because I will be participating in the Maundy Thursday service at my church.   I'm going to try to get in a run on my own before that.   Did you know running is kind of addictive?   I thought about just taking the day off but my legs are twitching.

This weekend is going to be fun and challenging.  Beginning on Saturday evening at 8pm I will be gathering at my church with youth and young adults from around Saskatoon for our annual Easter Vigil.  We spend the entire night praying, worshiping, making new friends, playing games and consuming crazy amounts of sugar and caffeine so that we can stay awake.   Sunrise this year for Easter is at 5:59 so we will be on the Wildwood hill at 5:45 to begin worship with other early birds to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.  After worship we head to the church for breakfast and then a little break until regular worship at 9:15.

I'm going to use that opportunity to go for a swim for my regular swim time from 8:05 until 8:40.  I really hope I don't fall asleep and drown in the water.  My hope is that the little burst of exercise will perk me up enough to help me make it through til worship is over at noon and I can finally go home to bed.

Heads up to my swim team... if it looks as though I'm drowning, I probably am.  Help!!

Words has it that next Monday we're going to bike rain, snow or shine.. can't wait!!

Happy Easter everyone!
