Time to Regroup

There have been some big changes at work this past month, all good so far, but it's been stressful and very busy. Also, my recent running injury still has me pretty laid up, both emotionally and physically.

It's really time to regroup. I'm in that place emotionally where I need to focus my energies back towards healthy and positive.

The Yukon1000 is only a year away (July 2009), and there is lots to do. It's about time for Kristen and I to start up a website, work on sponsors, develop a training plan, and find a kayak. Anyone out there have a used Seaward Passat G3 for sale?

Lots to do!

About SandyBottom

A senior with 2 kids grown and flown, married to Paul 30 years, a recently retired medical researcher, and was a sometime adventurer. Now, its ALL about the adventure. I was born and raised in Hawaii, and have a love of the outdoors, camping, the beach, and the ocean. I started paddling with white water in 1981 when I met my husband. My first real sea kayaking experience was actually on a sit-on-top in Kailua Bay on the Island of Oahu in 1987 while we were visiting family. Two children and years later, a chance opportunity to try sea kayaking again in 1996 resulted in a love and passion that provides me with fun, excitement, relaxation and/or exercise, and most of all, adventure. I’ve not stopped since.
