Timing

Today, the world has been hit by the news of the passing away of Sarah Burke, one of best free skiing woman in the world, a true driver in female sport.  I never had the opportunity to meet Sarah although we have many mutual friends.  She and her husband live here in Squamish and I've followed her ski career and admired her talent and passion for the way she lives day in and day out.

Oddly enough, 4hrs before I read the news on FB today, I was just out running with 2 good friends on some fabulous winter trails. We were having a great morning session. As we climbed towards Tsuga Tsuga, the sun was warming us up and the views of Squamish were incredible.  We were talking about how much we loved this town, how lucky we are to live here, to access our trails and to be outside playing all the time.  In my head, it was yet another reminder of how much I love life, how fortunate I am to be living out my own dreams and how I do my best to make each day count.



We never know when our card will be pulled, for many, it comes way too fast. I want to make sure that should it be my turn on any given day, that I really truly lived my minutes to their fullest potential. I think Sarah certainly did this, she leaves behind her a legacy that will live on forever. My heart goes out today to her family and husband and everyone that she inspired!  Sarah, you inspired me and we are dedicating this weekend's training adventures to you and the life that you lived!
