I skipped the 5h30 swim this morning since I went yesterday afternoon. I wanted to enjoy the last days of "not having" to put the alarm. I'll try to go play outside today but it'll depend on how courageous I feel (see#4).

Revenge. Does that really bring satisfaction? Or simply some relief?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Update : Went aquajogging and swimming. :) 300cr-200pull-100kick. 15min AJ. 400 cr race pace. 8min AJ. 200m race pace.

I wanted to start 2008 healthy. I won't but at least it'll come fast, 14 days of antibiotics. I went to the clinic this morning and what a nice surprise to see only ONE car in the parking lot. In 1 hour, I went to the doc, then got my prescription at the pharmacy and back home. Believe me, that is something you can't do often here. Yay!

I'll try to take it easy today. A nap would be cool and if the pool is open I'll try to go for an aquajog and a little swim. I was reading Triathlete magazine last night and was interested by one article in particular. They were giving a training plan combining swimming and aquajog. It got me thinking on some aspect of my training. I volontarly am trying to build a good base before starting to increase my speed. Recently, I went to 2 trainings with the club where we ran inside on the track and focused on speed. I'm not sure the shins liked that. What I'm going to do for a few weeks is going to the pool and do all my speed training in the pool. At the same time, I'll continue my running outside for base. We'll see out it goes.

Tonight will be a great party (I hope). Quebec city is celebrating his 400th. A huge party will be thrown in "Place D'Youville", dowtown Quebec, where a big stage was built. Over 100 000 people are supposed to be there, fireworks and lots of action.

I wish everybody a HAPPY NEW YEAR, lots of health, love and happyness!

I'm not too sure about what's going to happen today. Plan with the club consists of 1h30 of crosscountry skiing, 1h30 of ST in the afternoon and a 2h swim after. I think I'll *try* to go swim. Nothing...not feeling good enough.

Right shin is starting to show some signs of weirdoness. I'll try to get that under control.

Update : Went to the Plaines d'Abraham to ski.  Little suprise though when I arrived.  No trails :-(.  I learned that skating wasn't too much fun when no trails AND lots of snow.  It's a lot tougher too.  Did it anyway and I had fun nonetheless.

Dinner was fun last night. We played Guitarhero III. We had a great time except the part I started to have fever.

The game is funny because at first you do so much errors and it wrecks the songs. But then you get the hang of it and it starts to sounds like... well, a song. I think the main reason why the game is cool is because there's so much good songs on the playlist. My friend started it with Prayer for the refugees from Rise Against, what a nice way to not give me a choice on liking the game! ;-) The playlist includes songs from Guns N roses, One from Metallica, Disturbed, Pearl Jam, etc.

The major "but" in this is that I would never buy that game. Why in the hell would I play hours of this game to be good instead of buying a real guitar and take lessons? No thanks.

4 inches of snow today. I think I'll go for a little crosscountry skiing.

Update : GONE NAPPING :-) Done

I'm off today and the alarm clock was showing 555 when I got up. I hope it's better than 666.

Please, I hope the afternoon will include a nice little nap. :-) Then, tonight will consist of a dinner with friends and then supposed to play Guitarhero. I'm a little skeptic about that game but we'll see.
