Spikes and Snow

First the good news.  New Spikes arrived last week!!!!!

I am very excited to finally have spikes to train in, now if I could only get outside and throw!!!  Spring in Edmonton means a lot of different things and one of them is the possibility of snow.  The last 2 days we have had a dump of close to 20cm.  Prior to this dump we could actually see grass on our front lawn and my daughter Sydney had a world of fun splashing in puddles of melted ice.  More snow just means a longer wait until I can actually start throwing.  This is a big deal since the season is coming up fast.  There is a big throws gala in Lethbridge in 8 weeks and I am stuck inside throwing weighted balls against a wall.  No fun at all but like everything this season I must be patient.   

Training Update  

The excitement of training is still very much alive within me.  I do not train because I have to, I train because I want to.  Training has definitely been increasing.  Total hours and total number of workouts are increasing from my early season numbers and I am definitely noticing a change in fitness from 4-6 months ago.  Now if I can only get outside and see what all my hard work this winter has gotten me.  I am meeting with Rob on Tuesday to discuss spring training and the competition season ahead.  I am excited to get a lot of throwing in and attending many competitions throughout Alberta.
