Wow, November was fun! I went to Mexico for a fabulous wedding, started my Ironman training (tired already) and got a chance to spend the day with Santa while he was giving out presents at the top of Grouse Mountain.
Mexico was fantastic! This was pretty much my view everyday, except the one day we hung out at the pool bar. I will go back! The service where we were was great! The bar opened everyday at 10am, I had the servers tell me a number of times that the alcohol was free (because I would ask for bottled water instead of beer!). The rooms were nice, the food was great, service always fantastic and I became a HUGE fan of champagne! Probably wasn't a good idea to do it as shots that one night.
Today I got to spend the morning and afternoon with Santa at the Top of Grouse Mountain. We had a work function and over 100 kids at two sittings, and the kids were adorable! My friend Chifa and I helped Santa hand out presents (I was photographer). I got asked if I was a snow princess by an adorable 5 or 6 year old, then she asked if I was going to come outside and skate with my dress on, too cute! Santa had a couple of kids that maybe weren't entirely impressed (crying) but he did get homemade cookies, letters and a homemade Christmas tree!
The Ironman (woman!) training is in full swing. Swim, bike, run; swim, bike, run is my life for the next 9 months. I think the healthy eating and no alcohol is going to be harder then the swim, bike, run training. I just got a new winter trainer (for the bike at home) so I can sit on the bike for hours at a time at home. I'm lucky to have so many people in my life that have done Ironman before. They say it takes a village to raise a child, I think it's going to be the same with me and my training!
Off for a swim!
