Las Vegas!!

We are here after the hottest flight I've ever been on. Literally really hot and figuratively hot because we had the MOST entertaining crew!

It's raining here but whatevs… Better than snow!

Canadian World Juniors Team – Let’s Go Boys!

Just watched the Canadian boys barnstorm the Americans in the last two minutes of the 3rd period to tie things up. What a nail biter! My tummy is in knots… Now just waiting for OT to start. There are lots of Rickards commercials on. Man. I want a beer. A red one would be awesome.
Go Canada!

Running:
This morning – 6.44K | 40:40 | 6:31/K | 440 cals | 1% incline | good sweat on. Bit of runners knee irritation. Stretched and it went away.

Game's back on! Gotta go!

Happy New Year!

Hey 2010!

Glad you're finally here! I've got some big plans for you… Good thing there's still lots of time left.

Goals for 2010:

1. Change log to metric. I live in Canada after all, should make better use of the easy system! (Complete)

2. Marathon in May. Sub 4 hrs. (In progress – training)

3. BQ. (In progress – Gulp.)

4. Fit into my skinny jeans by May marathon. (In progress – right after I eat this dip)

5. Clean out my closet and give away everything I: a) forgot I owned b) doesn't fit c) haven't worn in the last year. Including shoes. (Not started)

Runs over the holidays:

29 Dec | 8.65M | 1:29:57 | 10:24/M | 1015cal | -11 degrees C including wind chill, snowy, with HE in Owen Sound. L knee irritated a bit but no complaints after. Felt heavy after so much food!

Total mileage since 9 Sept 2009 – 165.64 miles (…and press the trip button! It's a new year!)

2 Jan | 11.07km | 1:10:40 | 6:23/km | 804 cal | -14 + windchill approx -25 degrees C (frost on your face cold), clear sunny, no body/injury issues aside from a frozen ass. Ran into the wind to Country Squire and then the GRT (Grand River Trail) home with HE. ME gets off for this one since he was out with KB* (aka John Deer Pants) making an investment for both our training programs…

Must go! ME is home with the treadmill!!

(*super huge thank you to John Deer Pants for his heavy lifting abilities and big honkin' truck! We definitely couldn't have done it without you! Sorry we picked the coldest day ever to do it all…)

5K PR tomorrow?

Well I'm currently making a run for the border so that might have an impact on my run for a PR tomorrow. I'm apparently not taking myself very seriously!

Went to the last TFC home game of the season today and saw the reds win 1-0. w0ot!

Oktoberfested last night… Oh good times :o) thanks to the H girls and RB and little LH for coming with!

snuggle buddy

last night I had a snuggle buddy. isn't she sweet?

this morning she got ME up by playing voraciously with a plastic bag at 4:30. then she got me up at 5:40 by sniffing my face, putting all her weight on one paw, licking my feet, and if that didn't get her the attention she wanted, she got on the bedside table and started chewing books or knocking things off the table. brat.

I just can't stay mad at her though… just look at that face.
