1000 logged kilometers
They say that the gift of 1000 paper cranes is supposed to grant the folder a wish, or to grant long life or recovery to the recipient. If, to do well, folding a crane would take me 4’45″, then I would have now put in the same amount of time to fold all those cranes [...]
Canadian Derby Half Marathon
Well I finally have an officially clocked half marathon in the books. Coming in with a chip time of 1:44:03, gun time of 1:44:09 and a watch time of 1:44:04. I would say that I did not too bad. I had some hip issues for some unknown reason – they never really bothered me before, [...]
Almost there!
Well there are two things that I wanted to to do as part of my New Year’s resolution. One was run an official 10km, and the second a Half Marathon. Well the Little Big Run is in the bag, and the Canadian Derby Half Marathon is coming up this weekend. I’ve looked high and low [...]
Up in the Air
Well it seems that things are still up in the air. I’m still disrupted, but I’ve got a short term contract in the VPIT’s office doing some really interesting work. I haven’t been sitting still over this involuntary break, I’ve been working on a PhD application as well as my running. I’ve managed three long [...]
Happy Birthday!
Well, all of Aishani’s parties are done -first birthday wise. It’s really been interesting to see “who” was there a year ago and who was able to make it out this time. Not to say anything bad about the people who were busy, because they would have come if they could have – but the [...]
TCI Check… Flame… nope…
Well I took the girls to TCI and had a great time. You can see the full gallery here and read my Trip Advisor review here. It was quite something to say the least and it is a place that now rivals Disney in my heart. If I want a “do something” vacation, I’ll hit [...]
Topcase Repaired
This weekend, my 3 year old Macbook got a new lease on life. The topcase was cracking all around and it seems that it is a known issue. The repair was quick and easy and all I needed to do was make an appointment with the Genius Bar and in less than half an hour, [...]
Timeraiser 09 in the bag
Well it’s in the bag. It was fun to get out there and meet all sorts of people. I might have also lined up some more volunteer photo gigs with some of the charities in the city. You can check out the gallery here.
Turkey Trot 09
Well, I did the 8km run in 40:02 on my watch and 40:07 according to official timing (I think it’s funny that the U of A doesn’t have the results yet). I forgot what a pain it is to to the corral start, but it does let you get limbered up for the rest of [...]
Rock’n Run
Well, I did it. After being one of those kids who hated running, now I’m one of those crazies who runs for hours (well 1h 49min) just for fun. I was hoping to do this last year, but when all was said and done last year, injury and baby prep, combined with a massive amount [...]
