I have been doing something HOT!

During my self-imposed 3 week hiatus from running to shake that nagging left quad problem, I've been doing something really, really hot. 

Yes, you guessed it, HOT YOGA. It's yoga done in a room heated to 37C. The facilities are top-notch and I was instantly hooked. I can feel the knot in my quad in certain poses, but it is getting better. I tested myself out for a one hour run and so far, so good. I'm not as fast as I used to be, but...I'm faster than the guy on the couch. :-)

Now winter has definitely arrived in Winnipeg. Let's just say if they had the climate change conference here instead of Bali, the delegates would be passing immediate motions to increase greenhouse gas emissions. LOL! There were a few mornings where the school buses were just about grounded, but luckily it was -42C with the windchill...as long as it's warmer than -45C!

Let's see, what's new...M passed her Sunfish level for swimming, she is now a Crocodile. Less than 12 months ago, she wouldn't even put her face in the water, so this is a huge step for her. If she was 6 years old, she'd be in Level 2, to put it in perspective. S is still swimming with the Mini Marlins club. The kid has six-pack abs. I'm sooooo jealous.

Both M and S passed their skating levels. We didn't think M would so we signed her back up for beginner preschool three weeks ago during registration...well she really got her confidence and passed. Oh well.

I've been scrapbooking here and there, not really posting the layouts online due to privacy reasons. But I will post this one because I look nothing like these pictures.

Happy holidays to everyone!
