Photos from my run up the Ribbon Creek Trail to Lillian Lake. Around 25km of running in 3.5 hours. Amazing scenery just a short drive from Canmore.

Yes it is August 10th and yes I am updating my blog for the first time this season. Laziness is the mother of all inventions, as they say- but in the last four months I have not invented anything and I have not updated my blog once.

I am back training and stoked for another season of racing, so hang on to your Internet surfing hats, because the-nish.com is back.

The major news in my life is that I have joined the Alberta World Cup Academy for the upcoming season. New coaches, new teammates, new training locations and new challenges will make for an exciting year.

So far, so good would sum up my summer training do date. With no injuries, good volume, lots of strength and some great training sessions under my belt, I am feeling ready for the next hard block of training starting next week in Whistler.
