I finally found a hybrid bike that fits in the trunk of my Smart car! And it’s shiny and new and fun to ride and it’s sitting in my apartment right now because I bought it on Saturday! Item #73 on my list of 101 of things to do in 1001 days, consider yourself crossed […]
There was a meeting on the weekend for players in the Longest Game of Hockey for CF. With the game less than 50 days away (Ack!), many of the details are starting to come together and the committee wanted to update us on them. I won’t bore you with all the mundane details, but I […]
Two things: Day 2 of Pre-Hockey Bootcamp was much easier than Day 1. That is to say, it still kicked my ass, but slightly less so than Day 1. Also, I discovered that I am super kickass at skipping. On Day 1 we did our skipping on the grass and I wasn’t very good at […]
As part of our preparation for the Longest Ever Game of Hockey in the History of the Universe to Raise Money for Cystic Fibrosis, a bootcamp is being run for players to help get us into OMG-we-are-playing-hockey-for-10-freaking-days shape.

So I’ve been seriously, seriously considering buying a bike. I thought I’d maybe blogged about this before, but a quick search of my blog tells me that I’ve only made very brief mention of it.

In keeping with my trending of stealing marathon-related blog posting titles from Dr. Dan, I’m writing this second Scotiabank Half Marathon-related posting. First of all, stuff I meant to write about in the previous posting, but forgot to mention – probably due to half marathon-induced delirium: Props to my co-worker Raj who ran her first […]
So, as you know, I’m trying to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis Canada by playing in a game of hockey that will go on, non-stop, for 10 days! Trying to raise *a lot* of money. In fact, each of the players are trying to raise $5,000 before the puck drops, a mere 59 days from […]
I’m home from my whirlwind trip and have much to blog about, but that will have to wait as I’m hitting the hay early, since I have to be at the starting line of the Scotiabank Half Marathon at UBC at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Which means that we’ll ((Where we = me, Kim & Lance.)) […]
My post for today consists of one thing: What he said.
