Yesterday was the 45th running of the Vancouver marathon and I ran in it! Other statements that are true include: My friends and I ran a marathon yesterday I ran across the finish line of the Vancouver marathon yesterday. I did not, however, run the entire 42.2 km. Instead, I took part in the marathon […]
Sunday marked the triumphant return of my Coquitlam hockey team, the Blazing Blades, to the status of Div 1 champions! You may recall that it 2014 we won the coveted trophy. Last year we did not, but this year we had our strongest season ever, going 21-3-1 in the regular season. We went 2-1 in […]
My friend Alicia took me for a float for my birthday. For the uninitiated, a float (a.k.a., floatation therapy or sensory deprivation tank) is where you get into a big tank with water that has about 1000 lbs of Epsom salt in it so that you can lie in and, as the name suggests, float. […]
So I had a birthday. Apparently my cats knew it was my birthday, because they gave me a present: one of their toys was in the bag that I take to work when I got up on Monday morning. So thoughtful of them. At work, some of my coworkers took me out for lunch, which was […]
Spent the day driving to Ottawa with my family, as we are going to a friend’s wedding tomorrow night. The invitation says it’s a fancy-schmancy attire sort of occasion, so I’ve got a fancy dress, impractically tall shoes, and even some full length gloves for the occasion.

Remember that time I did a Paint Nite with Cath? Well, I also did a paint night with my friend Amy way back in the old timely days of October! Here’s the painting we were trying to paint – a heron sitting on a hill: My hero turned out to look more like a duck, […]
And speaking of races that I’m going to run in 2016, thanks to my friend Julie, who you may recall from the PNE Donut Dash and the longest game of hockey, I’m already registered for one: The marathon relay involves four people teaming up to complete the 42.2 km of the full marathon as a team. […]
So, it’s December tomorrow. How, exactly, did that happen? Wasn’t it January just like 5 minutes ago? Looking at my calendar for the next month, I see that December will also be flying by, because I have an insane amount of things in my calendar, including: Work Christmas party #1 – dinner and Escape Room […]
Translation of the title (assuming that Google Translate translated it correctly): My 13th half marathon: not the result I was hoping for, but I figure if I write this title in French it will sound more impressive. I was hoping to have called this blog posting “Lucky #13” and to be writing about how I’d finally run the […]
Except that I didn’t really go to the race to kickass. Because I was really there for donuts. And cotton candy. And a race medal with an adorable running donut on it. This morning my friend Julie ((You may recall Julie from the zombie obstacle course race and the Longest Game for CF. Clearly, our […]
