Callie, Mom, and Coda watering down the garden and yard so that we can enjoy the reap the fruits of their labor later this summer and fall.
The Fitz getting in a lot of quality base training this spring --and lookin' good in the process-- so that she can expect to see the fruition of her hard work later this year.
Just it takes initial work to get the garden growing, the spring is also a time to build the fitness foundation so that there's something to work off and have to show for later. I undoubtedly carried the highest training volume that I've ever held for the month of May-- we'll see if this makes a difference by the time winter rolls around. Either way, I've enjoyed myself. Being out of school for the first time ever and having countless sunny days made it easy to work-out and "training" often feel more like "playing". Some days spent outside training were purely for pleasure.
Leah Besh feelin' the flow on Memorial Day weekend.
Neil, Leah, Kelly (above), and Jesse (not pictured) helped me negotiate through the rocks, rapids, and eddies in Willow Creek. This was my first experience in a river kayak outside the Wednesday-night roll sessions in the pool with the DU kayak club. It was far more challenging and exciting than I expected. I was a total tyro but loved every second of it-- including the 2x that spent without my boat after I capsized!
I can now check off "kayak down river rapids" from my "life list", but the net outcome of the experience actually made my life list longer. The thought of kayaking a Class IV river or paddling the _____ River, is now something I may have to jot down on the list. I haven't reached the 100 mark yet for the life list though, so in terms of reaching that number it was a productive adventure!
