Busy few days!

Hey there, Everyone!

Whew - it's been a crazy few days (or well, weeks!)

Just to give you an idea about the last few days - I was a guest speaker at International Woman's Day, I was interviewed by Roger's Cable, and I spoke at Carson Grove Elementary School (in Ottawa). And don't worry, I've been fitting in work, too!

Over the weekend, I was very fortunate to go with my friends to Mount Marcy, in New York state. We made great time (up and down), and everyone had fun! Going up was easy - coming down was crazy - my climbing partners can really burn up the trail on the way home!!

Sunday was busy with training, and replacing my watch (again!) A bit bummed about that - but a girl needs a watch when she climbing up a mountain, eh!

But Sunday ended well, with a visit to my old friend, and a visit with a new one! All in all - it's been a super crazy time!

I will continue to make last minute purchases, fuss about with my new bits of gear, and continue training as hard as I can!

I'll talk to ya'll later!
