First off, I have to give credit for the title of this blog posting to Cath. I’ve been complaining about my iliotibial (IT) band on The Twitter and, given my challenge of trying to write blog postings that all end in “it!” this month, Cath made the brilliant-as-soon-as-you-hear-but-I-totally-would-not-have-thought-of-it-myself title of “IT it!” The iliotibial band […]
In keeping with my new habit of booking physical activity in my calendar, today I did, in fact, do the Grouse Grind with Lianna ((And her friend Tiffany, actually.)), just like it says on my calendar. Amazing how that works, eh? We originally planned this hike with the idea that we’d push for a 1 […]
So my sister brought up a pretty good point in her comment on my blog posting yesterday. I was talking about how I failed to do some sort of concerted physical activity every day in the month of August and my sister, in her great wisdom, reminded me of a conversation we’d just had a […]
Hey, remember that time that I said I was going to do some kind of physical activity every day in August? Apparently I didn’t. I started off strong, with some running and walking and hiking and a few token pushups on days that I spent driving long distances. And then at some point I seem […]
I appear to have signed up for Pinterest. I’ve been resisting this one for a while, as I felt like I needed another place to keep stuff on the Internet like I needed another hole in my head ((As in life, I’m trying to rein in my hoarding tendencies.)). I mean, I’ve got my blog […]
One year ago today, I started playing a hockey game that didn’t stop for 10 days, 3 hours, and 5 minutes. It’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole year since then, but also, as I’m finding always seems to happen with really pivotal events, it also seems a lifetime ago. Even when I […]
We climbed Mount Baldy ((Omg, Mount Baldy does not have a Wikipedia page! For shame! Well, several Mount Baldys do, but not this particular Mount Baldy.)) in Shawnigan Lake. It was pretty steep and there was a fair bit of sheer rock that I found myself having to climb up like I was Spider-Man and I […]
So, we are back from our whirlwind trip to Portland ((Well, technically to Onalaska, WA, Portland, and various other places in Oregon state.)) and are now hanging out on Vancouver Island ((After a very poorly planned attempt to take the ferry from Ancortes to Vancouver Island.)), ((Instead, we had to drive through the Peace Arch […]
Yesterday, I faced hordes of zombies and… I came out a zombie myself! I had such high hopes that I could run through the 5 km zombie obstacle course race, otherwise known as Run for Your Lives (in Washington State) and not be eaten, but it turns out that the undead got the better of me. […]
As you read this, I’m somewhere between New Westminster and a field full of zombies. You see, I’m writing today’s blog posting yesterday – er, well, what will be yesterday by the time you read this – and it will be – er, has been – automagically posted by the magic of the Internets while […]
