Just discovered this mostly written blog posting that I wrote on January 3rd, but appear to never have posted. Because I am awesome like that. Anyway, I don’t care that it’s fully a month after Christmas – I’m posting it anyway! Plus, I added pictures that I hadn’t even taken back when I original wrote […]
Had my first hockey game of 2011 tonight. And my first hockey game since December 5, given that I missed so many hockey games while on holidays. Yet *two* of my teammates complimented me on my skating (e.g., “Did you take skating lessons over the holidays? Because it really looks like you did!”) and at […]
Last year, I proposed that if one is getting all up in the face of the goalie and then your teammate scores a goal, you should totally get an assist. After all, you were instrumental in that goal being scored, right? At our game yesterday, my lovely, talented, and amazing over 45 year old linemate […]

I think I’m in love with hot yoga. I mean, it’s only been four days since I started, so we are still in that “honeymoon phase” and maybe I’m willing to overlook hot yoga’s short comings, like how I have to get up at 5 a.m. to be there for the 6 a.m. practice, which […]
So, remember how I was aiming for 2 hr 15 mins half marathon? I finished today’s half marathon in 2:07:23!! My previous best time was 2:19:03, which means I managed to shave off 12 minutes and 20 seconds from my best time (and 16 minutes and 30 seconds off the time of the half marathon […]
Want to see me finish my half marathon in Victoria on Sunday? Well, you can do so from the comfort of your own home because it’s being live streamed via Ustream! w00t! The race starts at 7:30 a.m. and my last two half marathon times have been in the 2 hr 23 min range, which […]
A little while ago, Darren announced on Twitter that he’d be running a hockey pool to which, naturally, I immediately responded “count me in!” As you know, I have a knack for in-depth analysis of hockey players and what better way to put said skills to use than to join a hockey pool, right? The […]
Lance, Kim & Beth at the Lions game. Image by Beth77 via Flickr Crossed another item off my 101 things to do in 1001 days list: #45: Go to a BC Lions game! Now, I’m not a huge football fan. When I was a kid, my dad and I were in an NFL football pool […]
