Today I am a space case. I brought 2 small lululemon bags to work: one contains a gift card for a friend, the other my lunch. I just went to get food from the fridge. Guess which bag was waiting for me? At least the gift card is nice and cool. I blame it on […]
The past few years I’ve enjoyed developing and delivering workshops and presentations at IBM’s Centre For Advanced Studies conference. This is the first year that I’m not going to be getting the presenter’s bag. I wonder what the gift is – last year it was an electronic sudoku game 🙂 In any case, it should […]
I don’t have cable. I justify it because I live alone and cable would be expensive. Especially since I’m never home when things I want to watch are on TV so would need to get a DVR. I also can watch lots of things online so am not completely deprived. About a month ago I […]
My long runs are normally done with a purpose. There’s always some race I’m working towards that’s motivating me to run a distance larger than, say, 8km. And I do them, and am happy and proud when they’re done. Today was different – today I just ran for me. I was supposed to run with […]
I was perusing some blogs and came across this: NaBloPoMo sounds like a child’s insult or a bad Japanese “short form” (where Sexual Harassment=SecoHaRa). But in actuality it’s a challenge to post once a day for all of November. I think that’s doable. So let’s see what happens!
Had a great start to my day this morning. Finally managed to get my alarm set properly which meant I headed over to Crossfit for a 7AM class. It’s a good thing I’ve been doing the workouts on my own this week – all of those Double Unders (skipping, but getting the rope under twice […]
Saturday night I took part in the Nike+ Human race. I am not a night runner, but decided to participate anyway. The idea of the Human Race is that anyone with a Nike+ chip can take part anywhere in the world. All you have to do is run 10km on the same day (this year, […]
In case you didn’t know, I’m a techie. I work in computers, and so am expected to have all sorts of gadgets. But since I like to spend my moolah on other things, like black knee high boots (of which I have at least 4 different variations) and running shoes/clothes, I don’t always have new […]
This past weekend my cousin got married in Stowe VT. It was a long drive but a lot of fun. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful, and I couldn’t feel my toes for almost an hour afterwards. The best part was definitely spending time with cousins from here, Montreal and Boston.   And I’m just […]
So today was the last day of bootcamp. We did the same workout that we did three weeks ago (the one I blogged about below). My time then: 9:44 My time today: 7:00 How’s that for an improvement, eh? I no longer felt the need to lie down and die during burpees!! Anyway, I’m hooked. […]
