What's next?

So its been a while since I last posted.

Lots has been going on in my end and I honestly haven't had enough time to post a blog report. Its been a very interesting couple of months and many changes have happened since Stormy in my running, school and personal life. Here's how it is...

Running:
Non existent. Since Stormy I have probably ran 5 or 6 times. Both my knees were banged up after the race from some pretty tight quads. I got a pair of orthotics from Bruce Turcotte and that has made a world of difference. His orthotics are different from most. He doesn't do an arch cast of your feet rather he looks at the wear of your shoes and such to determine how to balance your feet. He makes his running, walking, and biking orthotics custom to each sport. My feet now balanced I have a huge increase in power when I run... key word: when I run.

I put my name in the Western States 100 mile endurance run. As of last night (October 6th) almost 1300 had put there names in to the lottery that will accept around 300 people for the late June Boston-Marathon-of-Ultras event in Northern California. I'm also gonna put my name down for another. Most likely Angeles Crest 100 in California in early September of 2010. I haven't really looked at races for next year but I hope to do more races than this year.

School:
Please end this madness. Its tough being a student. I have really fallen off the "I love school because I dont have to work" bandwagon. I dropped a course because I simply want less school work and more time to enjoy life.

Life:
Well a lot has changed. As most people know, I was applying to become a Police officer with Victoria Police. However, that has been put on the back burner for now. As school nears the end I'm looking at possible career/job options and I'm a little lost as what to do now. Professional ultra runner has no salary, and my enormous amount of student loan debt needs to start getting paid off. But I would like to call these new beginnings. I have limitless options with pretty much every aspect to my life right now, which is awesome. I want to get training again, re-energize with school, and refocus my attention on whats needs to be done, rather than what I want to be done.

So if you have any race suggestions, let me know...
