Yesterday, Alicia & Paul took Tod and I to a Vancouver Whitecaps game ((although I think they should be called the Burnaby Whitecaps, as Swanguard stadium is on the eastside of Boundary Rd.)) They have seasons tickets and Alicia knew that I really wanted to check out a game, as I’ve never been to a […]
Just in time to provide some relief to my hockey withdrawal, yesterday and today was the NHL draft! In addition to bringing in a new crop of talent to the league, this also marks a new crop of fresh meat for my hockey hotties team. This was brought to my attention when Darren scouted out […]
So, you know how every once in a while I get some cockamamie idea, like running 21.1 km or climbing up a mountain? This is one of those. I first heard about this 100 pushup/200 situp/200 squat challenge from Dan on our Grouse Grind and maybe it was the lack of oxygen to my brain […]
You’d think after Saturday’s epic tour to the Albion Ferry, I’d need a day of rest and recovery, right? But there’s no rest for the wicked, my friends, so Sunday brought another trek up the Grouse Grind. Long time readers will know that though I complain that the Grouse Grind now has way too many […]
While I’m still not over my beloved Canucks being knocked out of the playoffs by the evil that is the Chicago Blackhawks, I figured the end of round 2 would be a good place to check in on how the hotties are doing. Name Team Goals Assists Notes Mattias Ohlund Vancouver 1 2 top scorers […]
And so ends another Canucks season. A city so full of hope, crushed on this blackest of black days. Even Shane O’Brien‘s first goal since freaking 2007 wasn’t enough. My heart bleeds. =(
…so instead of a blog post, I give you a link to photos of me at the half marathon. I can’t put the actual photos up here, as they are all copyrighted. And if you follow that link you will see that the photos are very low resolution, you know, so you can’t steal them […]
Quick note to say that I survived the half marathon and came in at a not unrespectable 2:25:17. It’s 6 minutes longer than my personal best and much better, not surprisingly, that my last attempt at a half where I hurt my foot and had to limp the last 6 km. And considering that I’m […]
The BMO Vancouver Marathon is looking for volunteers! From an email I just got: We are looking for Course Marshals or as we refer to them as “the cheering squad” ~ help lead these runners along the route! We need some strong people to help at the finish line and always a little help giving […]
As you know, I’m training for a half marathon. And really, I can’t imagine a better city to train in – I actually enjoy running in the rain, so my city’s tendency towards rain is not a problem for me, and it’s much milder here than anywhere else in the country, so you can even […]
