So, I may have mentioned that I’m training for yet another half marathon. The training plan I’m following involves running your “long run” on Sundays ((or, in the case of this week where I had Monday off work, on Monday!)) and the length of the long run gets longer pretty much every week. It starts […]
Today was the Sun Run, so it seems like a good day to do an update on my running. Now, for the record, I did not do the Sun Run ((I was actually asleep until after the run was over!)) (but many congrats to all the people who did do it – Heather, Raj, Alicia […]
Hey, remember how I went into a hockey pool and chose only hotties for my team and then didn’t mention it all season? Yeah, turns out that I didn’t do so well. But it’s not my fault – it’s Sidney Crosby’s fault! In case you’ve been living under a rock (or you are Kalev ((being […]
I wrote this on Thursday, but apparently did not post it. Because I am just *that* organized these days. Le sigh. So the playoffs for my second hockey team started last night Wednesday night. And can you guess who scored the GAME WINNING GOAL? In overtime, no less? With only 25 seconds to go? It […]
One of the items on my 101 things to do list was: 36. beat my current record of 10 points in a hockey season Well, the regular season of my Burnaby hockey team finished up last week and I give you this season’s stats: Item #36 – check! Bring on the playoffs!
Since I broke my hockey stick in my playoff game the other day, I’ve been using my back up stick. The thing with my back up stick is that it’s too small. I used to use it for ball hockey and it was fine, but when I’m on skates, it’s just not long enough. And […]
I went to a player meeting for the 10 day long hockey game on Friday. I’ll write more about the meeting soon, but first and foremost I want to put out a plea for RVs! As you know, during the 10 day long hockey game, the 40 women who will be playing are not allowed […]
So it seems that my hockey team has made the finals, being played this afternoon, despite coming in last in our division in the regular season! So perhaps my stick did not give her life in vain ((incidentally, I saw my stick today! As I was leaving the ice after this morning’s game, I spotted […]
For as long as I’ve played hockey, I’ve alway brought two hockey sticks with me to the rink in case I break one. I’m only 5 ft tall AND I play left-handed, so I figure if I break a stick, there’s very little chance that someone else on my team is going to have a […]
My recent executive decision to run the Scotiabank half marathon (in late June) instead of the BMO half marathon (in early May) has given me the chance for a do-over of my half marathon training, which wasn’t going well because of my aversion to winter weather. Well, I’ve decided to embrace this chance for a […]
