  • Powerlifting!

    Remember that time I joined Strong Side, the best gym ever and became obsessed with lifting heavy weights and then putting them back down? Well, in addition to all the other things I love about this gym (like the super knowledgeable trainers that help me get super strong in a safe way and the wonderfully […]

  • I jumped out of a f&^*ing plane!

    So yesterday I jumped out of a plane. Because that seems like a reasonable thing for a person who is afraid of heights to do, right? Long time readers may recall that time that I hung off the side of the CN Tower. It was terrifying and I was sure I was going to die […]

  • Summertime!

    OK, so it’s not technically summer until Friday, but you’d never know it from the weather we’ve been having. It’s sunny and warm and the sun is up until nearly 9:30 pm. Things I’m excited about for the summer, in no particular order: The New West Grand Prix – watching professional cyclists ride around and […]

I mean, last year I only had three points in the entire SEASON in this division, and right now I’m leading the division with four points in four games […]

  • Gymiversary

    Another thing I’m behind on blogging about is my gymiversary! March 3 was my one year anniversary of having joined Strong Side. I’ve blogged a few times about my gym experience and it’s mostly for lack of time to blog that you haven’t been subjected to me talking about how much I love my gym.1 […]

  • Hawaii

    You know that thing where you go on vacation and then you come back and not only did all the work that you didn’t do while you were away not get done, but it seems to have made some new friends while you were gone so you now have about eleventy billion emails to deal […]
