This summer has been yet another quick one. I've been working back at the Calgary tennis club 6 days a week, trying to get whatever funds I can to pay all my bills this summer, put some money away towards snowboarding and to have a little bit on the side to enjoy the summer.

We lost our trainer Scott. He got a great job opportunity in Halifax and moved there. Our new trainer is named Steve and he's also great. Only my teamate Ekaterina and I are in Calgary this summer, so the three of us meet up every morning and get in a good two hour painful but awesome workout. Steve really pushes us and I can see the results.

My ankle is still slightly injured. I had an MRI and a bone scan done this summer. My ligaments were still slightly torn and I have a bruise on the bone which can take a while to heal. Im seeing doctors and my physio Susan this summer to get back to 100% as soon as I can.

In a couple weeks I'll be heading to Mount Hood Oregon for 3 weeks to get back on snow. It's sweet there in the summer because we can snowboard in the morning on the glacier and come down to the base and be back to summer weather. There are some fields and lakes near by so should be an awesome camp.
