Parking nowhere to be found...

Okay, perhaps I was not meant to snowshoe this winter! The Seymour parking lot was chalk full AGAIN and therefore no room for me. Why drive you ask, when I could just hike up the mountain and then go for a snow shoe run at the top? Well, I considered it but it has been years that I've considered myself any type of endurance junkie. I'd be lucky if I could make it 1/2 way up the mountain right now (even with Otis the sled dog pulling me) and besides, I wanted to get home before dark so I could tackle the 100 plus pages of reading I need to get done by tomorrow. Oh the joys of student life...

Anyway...all was not lost as Bob and Amanda and gang could not find parking at the bottom either - Otis and I met them at the bottom of the mountain and did a nice smooth run/hike through the lower Seymour trails. Unbelievably, the sun started to shine through the trees! What a relief from this unrelenting rain! Well, hopes for better weather and snow shoe runs this week.

Not a bad few days for getting my but in gear...

• Thursday - Hill Repeats
• Friday - Off unless you count reading journal articles while sitting on the bike trainer..not!
• Saturday - 1:45 trail run with Otis and Bob through UBC
• Sunday - 1:45 trail run/hike at Seymour with Otis and his pack....

This week will be the true test as I get right back into the swing of work and school...uggh!
