It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Well, not “beginning”, so much, as I actually put up my tree at the end of November. Kitties checking out the pieces of the Christmas tree before I assemble it. I like the way my windows surrounding the tree reflect the lights. Not shown in the picture, […]
As you may recall, I’m addicted to race medals. Sure, I love to run because it’s great exercise (good for your health both in terms of fitness and as a stress reliever), it’s a way to challenge yourself, and races provide a great sense of community, fun, and accomplishment. But really, I’m in it for […]
As previously mentioned, I recently started taking some hockey lessons, because apparently 2 years of MBA school on the weekend got me addicted to learning stuff on Saturday mornings. The lessons are going great – the coach is excellent at breaking skills down into easy-to-understand parts and because we only have 5 people in the […]
On Saturday, I went out for a 14 km run and, in doing so, tracked my 300th activity since I started using Runkeeper on on July 2, 2010. In this time, I’ve covered a total of 2,446 km ((2,062.5 km of that was running, with the rest coming from biking and a bit of walking […]
The start of the NHL season this week means one thing – it’s fantasy hockey pool time! As you know, I’m usually pretty terrible at this hockey pool thing, which I like to blame on a variety of excuses, including “I was too busy with MBA school to pay attention to my picks” and “I’m […]
On Sunday, I did something I’ve been wanting to do for years ((And which I inexplicably didn’t include on my “101 things to do in 1001 days list”.)) – I learned how to curl! It was all part of a FUNdraiser for my friend, Patrick Johnstone, who is running for New West City Council in […]
Photos of my running shoes tend to be some of my most favourited photos on my Flickr account ((Other common favs include my friends and me in wetsuits in Tofino and these photos of all the places where I got needles for immunizations, blood tests, and a TB skin test.)). So my all the running […]
Friday night was the Night Race – a 10 km run in the dark around Stanley Park where all the runners wear head lamps. Or should I say a nearly *11 km* race that they tricked us into believing was a 10 km race! When I run races, I usually don’t pay too much attention […]
Hey, remember that time that I mentioned being a total sloth? Apparently my strategy of blogging about my slothiness as a way of killing said slothiness was a good one, as I have managed to turn around my slothy ways and get myself back on track. Since that blog posting, I’ve done: 7 runs (for […]
And while I’m re-purposing old photos here on ye ole blog, I think it’s time to bring back this one: Sloth Beth! I have been such a sloth of late. I started the year off well – I went from the running study right into training for the Hollywood Half Marathon right into the BMO […]
