See ya in a year!

WOW! I was doing the dishes a few minutes ago and was (again) thinking of returning home. Picturing what it'll be like at the airport, to see everyone. It'll be nice. I can't wait to see Sierra.
I want a hug that only mom can give me. I was thinking of when we left, those moments in the airport. I think I tried NOT to think of how long it was going to be. It's been a while! A WHOLE YEAR! It's gone by fast, but certain things make it seem long. I miss my family. I miss home. Don't get me wrong. I know I'll be at home in mid January, aft a week or two and be missing this place so much! I went for a run this morning at 7:20AM and almost melted.

It's gettin' HAWT! I did have an amazing run this morning. One of those runs where everything just felt ON. You know? I ran 15.7k in 1:10 and loved every minute of it. I had those early moments where it felt kinda tough, then it all came together for about 45 minutes it was effortless, and I could push harder and harder and it was just gooood. The first 35 minutes I ran it on 4:38/km, then the second half was 4:22/km. I feel great right now! These next two weeks are crucial for my racing. I gotta do some big volume and then I can taper for a couple weeks, race Canberra, come home and maintain for 7 weeks then kill Ironman! It feels good. It all feels so gooooood!

Also, we have to rebook our return flights. This is soemthing they told us when we originally booked. Because they can't book further ahead than a certain time, everyone's tickets were booked for a november 1st return. So we have to rebook for January. Apparently it's $138CAD each. Poopshoot. We were told it was free, apparently there are some weiner charges though.

I just gotta finish up this assignment that I have due tomorrow evening then class on Friday morning then I have a week off! Then 2 weeks of classes, 5 week prac and then with a little paperwork, I'm a teacher! BOO YA!

Ray mentioned chatting on skype. I don't hold my breath anymore. haha.

I'd like to give a real special shout out to Tunes. She working her little BEE-HIND off right now and making us lots of cheddar to be able to travel later in December. :)
I gotta go train!
