Canadian Transplant Games

Happy Saturday Everyone!!!

I'm sorry I've been absent this week....I came down with 'THE COLD' that is making the rounds.  It knocked me on my ass for 3 days where I did absolutely nothing!!!  The good news is that I'm feeling 85% better.  These have been my friends since last weekend!!!

The Dristan expired years ago but still
worked like a charm.

 I felt well enough today to tackle a bike ride outside.  While I was sick, I got on the stationary bike once for 8k and today I hit outside for 8.5k. I have a lot of work to do as my legs were killing me and there weren't even any LARGE hills.  I have to do 20k for the Sprint Tri but luckily it's around an airport landing strip so fairly flat I'm assuming.

Why can't they make bicycle helmets looks 'cool'??

 Today I had an important meeting to attend.  Last weekend I received an email from G (the individual I helped during Hyundai Hockey Nation).  G wanted to know if I wanted to help train so organ transplant athletes to compete in the Canadian Transplant Games that occur in July.  Hello?  Are you kidding me?  Of course I'll help.  Today was our first meeting to talk logistics, sponsors, where, when, how, etc!  We'll be training athletes between the ages of 20-40 who have had either lung, heart, or kidney transplants. 

I came prepared to take lots of notes!!!

Check out the games!  They are in Moncton, NB this year which means we can follow the athletes right up to the day of their event.  http://www.ctagames2014.com/

We are waiting on a list of participants and which specific events they are going to be doing.  The NS Dept of Health will be doing before and after testing for qualitative and quantitative figures.  I am honored to be part of this initiative and can't wait to help these individuals reach their goals and feel the amazing accomplishment for all their hard work!!!

Only one week until I give my first presentation to Sole Sisters 2014!!!  Eeeeek!    The workshops are FREE and full of great content.  Again, so pumped to be part of this amazing event!  Check out the phone covers the race director had made...can't wait to get my hands on one of these as well.

I think purple is becoming my new fav color

I'm off to watch Captain America....yup...I'm that girl.  Tonight, Indy is having a sleepover with the cutest little boy.  I'll be sure to post pictures in tomorrow's blog so you can all enjoy him. 

Thanks for stopping by and remember.....every person you meet can teach you something....be open to new ideas!!!!
