Rock’n’Roll 10 km – PB Accomplished!

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 […] →Read more

A Spicy Situation

As I wrote my goals update post last week, I realized that though I’d long ago come up with a solution to my spice situation (item #14 on my list of goals for 2014) and I had promised Stacy that I would blog about it, I have been delinquent in actually writing said blog posting. […] →Read more

Can’t Stop Learning

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 […] →Read more

Milestones and Goals

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 […] →Read more

2014-15 Hockey Pool – Team Has-To-Be-Reasonably-Attractive-Or-At-Least-A-Nice-Guy

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 […] →Read more

#TBT – Happy 10th Anniversary, Sarah & Dave!

I’ve never done a Throw Back Thursday (#TBT) posting before, but today seemed like the perfect opportunity to do one because 10 years ago today two of my favourite people in the world got married and I had the distinct pleasure of being part of their wedding party! Happy 10th Anniversary, Sarah& Dave! Your love […] →Read more

Campaign Curling

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 […] →Read more

My Hideous New Running Shoes

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 […] →Read more

Night Race 2014!

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 […] →Read more
