So I checked the forecast for this weekend, and apparently it’s going to be hotter than hell at the zombie race this weekend: 38 degrees??? That’s insanity! The zombies won’t have a chance to eat me – I’m going to die of heat stroke first! In preparation for the upcoming zombie-eating-Beth fest, I decided to […]
By Odin’s beard, how is it August? I mean, really, people. I’m sure it was January about two weeks ago, and now it’s freaking August. Gah! On the plus side, August means two weeks of vacation-y goodness ((With a side of homework.))! But it also means I’m just 5.5 weeks away from being back in […]
And while we are speaking of Julies and running, yesterday Dr. Julie re-tweeted a message from the David Suzuki Foundation about how Rona will plant a tree for every kilometer you run, so long as log those kilometers on their “Support our Canadian Olympic Athletes by Running Together from Coast to Coast” website. So, of […]
Well, they will be on August 4. After much talking about it, I have finally got around to officially registering for the Run for Your Lives zombie obstacle course race, being held about halfway between Seattle & Portland on the August long weekend. Special props go out to Dr. Erika, who brought this race to […]
OK, “saved the lives” might be a bit of an exaggeration, but when I was out for a run today, two little black pugs did appear out of nowhere and ran into traffic in a busy street. Thankfully, the driver of the truck they ran in front of saw them and was able to stop […]
So just yesterday I commented on the fact that I should post more pictures of shirtless hockey hotties on my blog, and today Darren brought this photo to my attention: Brad Richards, a NTBTWK-certified hottie, with no clothes on. No shirt, no pants. Really, what more do I need to say? Well – I do […]
When I started my MBA, I decided that there were certain things that I would have to give up in order to make time for school. One of those things that I said I was going to sacrifice was training for half marathons. As it turns out, I’m a filthy, filthy liar! The thing is, […]
Remember that time I was in a hockey pool and did terribly? Well, there’s a new pool for the playoffs and guess who is leading the pack? These are the standings as of this morning OK, so I know that it’s early days and that I’m only 3 points ahead of Cath, who is in […]
So apparently, just like I did with having a blog, I have been completely ignoring the fact that I’m in a hockey pool. ((I’m something of a gong show lately, what with school and death and travelling and moving and whatnot lately. Do you like how I just threw “death” in there with that other stuff all […]
So I just finished four solid days of classes. That’s 8 am to 5 pm on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, plus homework in the evenings. Plus a welcome dinner on Thursday night. I now have 3 assignments and 2 rounds of a business simulation due before the next weekend of classes, two weeks hence. […]
