Happy Happy New Year!

Hopefully all of you survived the Christmas season and were able to be with your loved ones. I was lucky to spend some time with my family and with SV's family...such a great time to relax with the people who know you best, share laughter and create new memories!

2011 is almost done and I have to admit it was a great year...so many great times...it was a busy year but probably one of my favourites! I didn't compete as much as I have in previous years but I have a feeling I am going to make up for that in the very near future.

SV and I saw some great concerts this year,Tragically Hip, U2, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, not sure how we are going to top those for 2012, but we are working on it!

Just over 10 months until we head to the Worlds in New Zealand...we have 5 friends that are going to do the race with us, so it should be a great race/trip and I am looking forward to the training and preparation to get ready for that one! SV and I did one final killer run to cap off 2011 and now we are getting ready to feast on every one's favourites for dinner(the girls had some interesting picks!) then a little dance party while we wait for the ball to drop!! Hugs and Kisses to all of you at Midnight!

Patience..

I have found my way back to my yoga mat and I am enjoying teaching two classes a week...with all the training SV and I do and the running around with kid errands, it has become a great reward each week to spend time on my mat. My body is feeling a little more relaxed and I haven't had any hip issues since the summer...I am back to running as much as I was before and as the year winds down I am beginning to focus on my goals for the upcoming 2012 year and I am confident I will be able to get through this season injury free!

Sometimes life has a way of rewarding you for staying calm and focused, yesterday I had one of those awesome moments...I have been working on this pose for awhile and at different points I have been so close and other times so far...but yesterday I hit it and held it...I was so excited but I had to stay calm and focused so that I could stay where I was...truly awesome!! Now all I have to do is get SV on the mat!!
