Sunday

Hi friends.
It is Sunday, and I can't believe I've been back since Sunday. I've more or less rested all week. I did one run and yoga, but this week is all about recovery. I've decided to forego the 5th World Cup in Berlin with the intent to focus on training. It appears I am quite certain to have a spot at the World Cup Final in Moscow (June 17/18) which I'm ecstatic about. A lot of hard work is paying off. The big decision I need to make is whether to go to Valencia, Spain to train for May 26 as was originally planned prior to the Berlin WC. Now, I could go just to train and then return home. I'm leaning towards staying in Calgary however and training straight through to Russia. This means that I'd accept the sunk cost of the flight (unless I can transfer it, which I doubt). Tough decision. My coach will be in Valencia so I know he will want to have me for the week. Ahh, the decisions.... My new webpage is nearing a finished state - www.riker-fox.com, so check it out and leave me feedback, good or bad, if you have some. It still has a lot of work to be done, but it's getting there.
I was on the FAN 960 yesterday with Jungle Jim Hunter. If you'd like to hear the interview, go to this link (http://www.fan960.com/media.jsp?content=20100515_135006_5036)and skip to 1:12 into the show. Jim is a super guy.
I also did an Athlete of the Week profile with CTV last week. I'm still trying to find it online. When I do, I'll post it. From what I hear, it was pretty good, so a big thank you to my supporter Lisa Bowes of CTV Calgary.
Back to training tomorrow and ultimately preparation for one of the season's two biggest meets. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for following.
