    After a break from training for three weeks, I started up again just before Christmas. I was excited to get back at it so that was a good sign that I was recharged and ready to face another season. I thought my cross-country season was over until March but as it turns out, I have been offered the wonderful opportunity to travel to Scotland and Spain to run a couple of cross-country races in Edinburgh and Seville. I feel extremely lucky and grateful to Thelma Wright for all her hard work at setting everything up for me and another young from Kitchener. So I arrive in Edinburgh, January 8th, race on the 10th, leave for Seville on the 13th and race there on the 18th and fly back the following day. I am pretty thrilled to be racing in such competitive races. I have arranged with my profs to make up for any lost work and lessons and Jon has been great getting me fit again in such a short period of time. We got a couple of dumps of snow here in Victoria which made training a bit trickier than usual. The first race will be tough but I think I will be ok. I have done a couple weeks of hill repeats and grass workouts and they went well. I will do up a report once I am back with some photos. Once I am back, I’ll be running my first indoor track meet on the weekend of January 31st in Seattle, with the Vikes, so stay tuned!
