May is done. Yay! Here’s life lately:
Supporting the locals, supporting cider:
You bet I watched the whole thing:
The annual 24hr. eco-endurance challenge was a bit more challenging this year without mom and Alice but once Jill and I got the compass settings figured out, we were good to go!
Teamwork:
Our first follow-a-baring while bushwhacking adventure was a success, we found the trail: 
We also found Sarah and Trevor, who were great companions for the afternoon:
Check point:
Up on the knoll:
This trail was actually a very wet swamp:
Driving through Bridgewater and I spotted a yard sale. 9 out of 10 times, Mike does not pullover when I yell ‘YARDSALE!”…

Plus Mike got the trampoline up – Can you tell he’s in the Insurance business. No kid is suing us!
We were spoiled with a few really warm days and I was spoiled with a lunch date with Sarah at Dee Dee’s:
Bluenose weekend! David and I ran the 5km together:
We finished under 25 minutes, which is pretty awesome since it’s the furthest he’s ever run: 
Victoria Day Discovery Centre adventure:
Blue skies:
The innovation room is pretty cool:
And so is the theatre space. He’s practicing for his school talent show:
We had lunch at Tomavinos Pizza. Fun fact, Tomavinos is where Mike and I had our first date:
Sushi with Sarah, Georgina and Amanda before the I Love The 90’s Tour:
Sarah got us some fun tees for the night:
I am pretty sure this was during All-4-One’s set:
Cabot Trail Relay time! 
Baddeck, such a charmer:
True:
What’s leg 1 without Beerbox Head?
Elissa running the hills like no big deal:
Day 1 was very wet and very cold. Very Cape Breton:
I spy Steph in wearing the Team 71 singlet:
Day 2 was sunny. Still at little cold at 6:30 am:
The early morning cheering squad – relays involve car sharing, hotel sharing and even kid sharing:
The end of leg 17. I did it:
Our team (all but Jon)! 18th overall, 8th place for a mixed team:
Election Day:
Yup.
Tuesday nights are Spin and Barre nights at Cyclone – Kristin teaches and I go! We celebrated her last night with Amanda and Robyn at the Highwayman for post-workout drinks. The Garden Party was delicious!
Birthday mail: 
First week of marathon training is done. It was more about active recovery but that’s okay:

The night ended at the Maxwell’s Plum. Cheers!
That’s a wrap. I’ll be back again.
