- One of my goals for November (that I completely forgot to write down) is to incorporate core work into my routine more often. I already get a few minutes of core at my Tuesday and Thursday strength classes, so 10 minutes after my Sunday spins seems like the perfect time to add some extra work in. The problem is - 10 minutes is a long time! And you can only do so many crunches. What are some of your favourite and most effective core exercises? Please feel free to share!

- Through the wonders of twitter last week I won a free Chef's tasting dinner from Home Tasting Room here in Calgary for the husband and I. We sat at the eating bar and got to chat with the chef about where he gets his food from and it was truly an amazing experience. Hot house tomatoes with wild arugula and local mozarella, bison tartare, slow cooked lamb shank with bone marrow mashed potatoes...it was all amazing. If you live in Calgary I highly recommend it! Because I was too busy scarfing the yummy food down to take pictures here's a view of their open kitchen.

- I'm racing this weekend! On Saturday night I'm running the Banff Winterstart 5 Miler. I last ran this race back in 2007 (old race report here). Back then I ran it in 51:30. I'm not quite back to low 10:00 miles (I don't think) so we'll see how I do this weekend.
