We're into June, which means one month left in Fredericton. We have several things on the agenda before leaving NB, mostly visiting and having a good time. This weekend was full of active fun. Alex completed the Who's Your Daddy Adventure Race and I finished my first duathlon. 5.6km run, 20.4km bike, 2.8km run in 1:24. I was happy with my time, especially for my first du, although I did learn that brick training would have been a good thing to do before this race. Overall, it was a positive experience and maybe I'll do another!

These two ladies motivated me to get my butt in gear. I was feeling quite discouraged before the race because I attempted a 10km bike/4km run the Wednesday before and felt like I was going to die.. okay, maybe not die, but it was painful. The ladies got me up, made sure I was fueled and ready to go. I can't thank them enough for pushing me and keeping my spirits up.
Last weekend I participated in the Cabot Trail Relay in Cape Breton, NS with the Gagetown Gunners. It was an incredible experience and if you get the chance to get involved, I highly suggest doing so. I ran leg 16, which was 15.34km. There were incredibly talented athletes at this event. The atmosphere was supportive and encouraging all weekend, even throughout the night legs. Our team placed mid pack, coming in 35th out of 71 teams. I'm quickly crossing things off the Maritime to-do list.

As for preparing for our move across the country, we have several activities and events planned. We've been trying to skydive for several years now. This may be our last chance to jump out of that darn plane. At the end of the month, we'll be packed and ready for the 9 day trek across the country. We found a lovely duplex to move into with a garage, yard and loads of room. It'll be great to get there and settle in.
