Hey all,

As mentioned yesterday, I didn’t get a chance to finish my blog entry for my activities over the few days leading up to round 4. Since this blog also serves as my journal I am posting now.

My energy began to return Friday Feb 15th. I ventured out for a sunset skate -ski at Mooney’s Bay’s.  I had a loose goal of attempting a Gats ski on Monday so I wanted to test out how I was doing and if I was capable of polling more with my right arm since this would make Gats hills a bit easier.  The ski felt good however polling didn’t.  My arm became uncomfortable at the Picc line and into the chest so I had to stop polling on the right.  I noticed that even the slightest hill is quite fatiguing.  Therefore, climbing Fortune Hill with a goal of skiing the number one was no longer a realistic goal.  (Lol – It likely wasn’t realistic to begin with, but a girl can dream).  But that is ok – who wouldn’t be reinvigorated and inspired by this…

It was very cool to see a Paraskier practicing on the Mooney’s Bay hill.

I managed to get out for skates on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and early Tuesday before chemo.  My energy Saturday and Sunday was mediocre but it was quite good on Monday and Tuesday.  Tuesday was the highlight!  There was hardly anyone on the pristine ice.

I was lucky to be invited out for dinner several times over the weekend. I was even served one of my favourite food items – Yorkshire pudding!
