Summer Holidays

I havent written in awhile because I spent a week in the Okanagan at my parent's house. I managed to run just over 20km before going, I knew I probably wouldnt get a lot of running in while I was in Vernon...so true. I managed to run just over 9k on the Monday but I never ran again the entire week. I did run from the house down the huge hill to Kin Beach at the end of Tronson Road. That's a tough run because I was in the heat of the sun for 90% of the run (it was about 24 degrees when I ran, even though it was only 8:30am). I had to run through construction but I cant complain too much because I had a view of Lake Okanagan the entire time. It was a good run.

I went swimming even though the water was quite cold. It was so hot that it was refreshing to get in...and then get out a short while later. Mom and I did get out in the kayaks and it was fun as I've never been kayaking in this lake before (just the ocean). We saw a ton of fish and it was (of course), beautiful out. I found that kayaking kills my back, I just couldnt do it again the next day, I was in too much pain.

We went boating of course, but no wakeboarding because I dont have a wetsuit and the water is still fairly cold. It's usually 21, 22 degrees when I wakeboard and at this time of year, its only 17-18 degrees, much too cold to sit in the water that long. It wouldnt be much fun. Hopefully I get another chance to wakeboard later this summer.

So I'm back to school tomorrow...I feel too old to be going back to school. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I know it will be just fine, I just have to get back into the groove.
