St. Patrick’s Day Weekend

Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick’s Day ,

I didn’t do to much, went to practice to find out it was cancelled due to the wind chill and snow which was a disappointment. So the team and I had a great brunch at our favourite “after practice” restaurant where everything is handmade or locally bought and very organic. It’s a great way to do some team bonding with some of our new teammates.

The one time, I forgot to bring my gym gear with me, the practice didn’t happen. Grr! I normally over pack my paddling bag for all weather conditions as I don’t know what the weather is really gonna be like and living an hour out doesn’t always help. So this way if practice gets cancelled for some reason, I’d be able to go straight to the gym instead of going home first. As I got home yesterday, the gym was put on hold.

I did feel a bit guilty that I didn’t workout yesterday, so this morning I jumped onto the treadmill and did a light 60 minute cardio workout before I headed out to a very good friend of mine’s birthday tweet up and than dropped by my best friends folks as I haven’t seen them in a while.

How was your weekend?
Do you find yourself feeling guilty if you miss a workout?

St. Patricks Day and Me

There is something about St. Patrick’s Day , were I just start thinking about what would have it been like for my family members and others who traveled by boat in the 1800′s for months for a chance to start a new life in an unknown place. I would have been scared shit-less, not knowing if I or any of my family members or friends would die while sailing across the atlantic or if any of us would be turned away once we landed. There are days where I had a time machine just so I could see what they had to deal with. To even ask those of my family who did do the journey why did they do it?

With that, I’m a proud 4th and 6th generation Canadian (depends on what side of the family you look at) but I have always called myself a Canadian with a hint of Irish, Scottish and English blood or a Canadian-UK mutt.

I didn’t really do much today other then head to my favourite Irish Pub for lunch for a guinness and mushy peas….. Yum. If I could stand the taste of light beer, I’d order a green beer but since I’m not I’ll stick with a good Irish classic.

How was everyone’s St. Patrick’s Day err Tuesday??
