More Snow........

Over the last couple of days we have had a lot of snow in Kamloops. Last week we went up to Batchelor Heights for some snowmobiling with The Hammond's(for Vanessa's B-day). I decided to take out one of the snowmobiles for a spin(bringing back childhood memories when I used to ride a lot), I was feeling very comfortable so I decided to take Alex for a double. I was going too fast and hit a bump and he smacked his face into the dashboard. That was it: he didn't want Mom to drive anymore and he got off and stuck with Dad! He still complains about my driving....now even in the van!


I was suppose to go to Vancouver to run the First Half Marathon this weekend; however, the roads were a hazard to drive on with all the snow(avalanche warnings and closures). I decided to detour to Vernon with my Kamloops running buddies to run the Vernon Starting BLock 10km.......the entire 10km was covered in snow and ice, what a character run! I don't think I even broke a sweat because I was so afraid of bitting it! The best part of the trip was the stop at Wendy's for that double cheeseburger!!!!
