Home and Home

We have 1 more game before the break for the holidays and it will be at home against my old team Briancon.  The next morning I will be taking the train at 6:59am and flying back to Canada to spend a week with my family and celebrate our own little Christmas together before boarding a plane on December 20th to come back for a week of practice leading up to the game in Dijon on the 26th.

With less games on our schedule since being eliminated from La Coupe de la Ligue and La Coupe de France, we have changed our weekly routine a bit. Since we are currently only playing 1 game per week, our coach feels that we are on the ice too much, so we have replaced a few on ice practices with some dry land workouts.  Monday we hit the ice for practice, Tuesday we go to "Le Stadium" for a bike workout, Wednesday we have a weights circuit and yoga session, then Thursday/Friday we are back on the ice to prepare for Saturday night game action!

This is our first week incorporating this planning and with our first bike session last night, the 12 sprints at 1minute were very tough (or as tough as you make it) but today I feel refreshed and ready to hit the weights...and yoga :)

On an unrelated note, the landlord for our house here in Epinal just showed up and has been complaining non stop about the stairs being dirty.  Well we are very sorry, but it has been snowing and raining for the past two weeks lady!  Shoes get dirty with 4 people living in this house, relax.

Update, she is now washing the stairs herself haha!

Well I better go help her
