Comming back and coffee

Coming back to my blog; lots of things have happened since last time I was here: we won Provincials (YAY!!!)? Summer came and went, crazy snow is here in Montreal, and, last but certainly NOT least, Kate is pregnant! We will have a boy, my second, probably an Olympic boy, as he is supposed to be born on the same day as the Opening Ceremony of Vancouver's Winter Olympics: February 12th., 2010.

On the sports side of things, I wanted to let you all know what I read about coffee (if you know me a little bit, you just *know* I am a coffee-addict. Good coffee, mind you, not "jus de chaussettes" kind of coffee). It turns out that coffee lowers recovery time after a hard workout, augments your endurance if you take it some hours before a long workout, and improves your speed if taken one hour before a speed workout (Source of all of this: Runners' World Magazine, April 2009). And, it doesn't make you pee a lot UNLESS you drink more than 550 mg. of caffeine. Not that I was worried...
