2012 Season Wrap-Up

2012 was a season of building.  2011 ended with the birth of my beautiful little girl, Maëlle Emily Warriner.   I, unfortunately was unable to exercise much with this pregnancy, as my pelvis was very bothersome.  Come October, I had not only the lack of fitness, but also a c-section to recover from.  I wasn't worried.  One of my best qualities is my hard working ethic and I was up to the task.  I began my training with a 4 week walking program and build from there.  Come end of April, I was ready to race.

I jumped in with both feet and raced a 25km trail race, Pick Your Poison and came out with a 2nd place podium finish.  My speed and fitness base continued to improve throughout the season.  I climbed from many second place finishes to the top of the podium throughout the summer season.  My hard work paid off and I pulled off the 5 Peaks series win! My 2012 summer goal was achieved and I was ecstatic!!

I took a two week break (maintenance weeks) in late August.  This gave me a little rest period before another speed build focus.  The cross country season with the New Market Huskies is always intense.  The workouts were hard but very fulfilling.  They definitely build fitness and character.  We had a great season and I look forward to 2013 season with them.  It's my favourite time of year :)

Baby #2 is a girl

Well, we've had our second child and it's a another girl.

Maelle Emily Warriner was born October 12, 2011 at RVH. She's healthy and happy. Her big sister, Jubilee, just loves her so much. I can't believe she's almost 6 months already. Where does the time go??

Baby #2 well on his/her way

I'm pleased to announce (most of you already know), my husband and I are expecting our second child. I announced a while back, I just haven't updated my blog in a while. We are just finishing up our 6 months of pregnancy. It's going well, expect I'm not running this pregnancy and missing it very much. I'm looking forward to the new addition and my daughter, Jubilee is looking forward to being a big sister. She thinks the baby will be a girl. :)

Successful Start to 2010 Racing Season

Well, it's been 2 years since I've raced, so I was a little nervous to toe the line.

My training was resumed after 4 short weeks after Jubilee was born. It was a fun winter swimming, biking (trainer rides), running, snowshoeing, and xc skiing with my bestest of friends. I added trail running and mountain biking since the early snow melt in early spring. April 24th was my first trail race, 12.3 km. My time of 00:55:13 was good enough to place me 2nd overall female. I hit the trail again for my second race, this time a 25k. I was fortunate to run it with my great friend, Krista. I placed 2nd overall female (Krista was 1st) with a time of 2:13.

I look forward to the upcoming season.
