LSD Running

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Nope, I ain’t tripping – just doing some Long Slow Distance running. Okay, a long slow distance run. But I’m still proud – it was my first one in weeks and was made fun by the presence of one Kathleen Trotter, a friend and butt kicking training (also, an Ironwoman). We busted out about 8km […]

Channukah

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

It’s Channukah! The time of year where I can eat fried foods because I’m supposed to, then gift myself with 8 pressies and feel entirely justified (for the pressies – the food just makes me feel ill). Here’s what I’ve given myself so far: Eyebrow shaping at Gee Beauty Silk sleepmask from Gee beauty Blowdry […]

It’s december

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

And I have less than three months until my next Half Marathon. Time to get on that training bandwagon I suppose. Am not feeling overly enthused. Frankly, I would rather deadlift my bodyweight. (I deadlifted more than that last week! BOOYAH!) What’s wrong with me? I just need to get out there. Once I start […]

Dear Markham Honda:

I was happy to pay $10 more to come to you instead of my normal dealer to get my snow tires put on because you are so close to my office and will drop me off. Then your service dude quoted me a price $20 more than what I was told on the phone yesterday. […]

10 years later

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Today was my 10 year high school reunion. The best comment was made by a guy in  my class, Mark, who said (I paraphrase): All of the girls seemed to have gotten better looking. The guys all got bald and fat. Love it.

Pick a pee

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Did you know that you can get different flavours of animal pee? Thought you’d like to know.

So *that’s* what it’s for!

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Yesterday I did my first “Advanced Workout” using the Garmin. I ran for 200m and then took a 2 minute break. 8 time. On a track that would be simple to figure out using a normal watch. But since I don’t have a track nearby, I used trusty Genki. He would beep at me after […]

Thankful

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Two years ago today I went on a blind date with someone to get a friend off of my case. I’m thankful for that!

Bruise

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I just wanted to share that I have a bruise on my collarbone from lifting weights yesterday. I like to think it makes me look hard core.
