After our killer 18k long distance run


With a month to go, we ran a solid 18k this morning. I am feeling pretty good. The first 9k was hard and I picked up the second half. I should have ate more for brekky. After I took the gel, I felt like I could go for another few kilometres. I didn't, of course. I am not that crazy.


I took some pictures after our run of some gals not camera shy. Here's Amber and Carleigh finishing up. Carleigh was hung over so it was a tough fun for the youngster.





saturday night rules


I'm a hockey girl living in cold northern town. I dragged Terri to the Storm game. It was fun. The Storm won. Roxy and her devoted crew of Storm groupies were in the same section. I missed the last quarter of the Stamps game. Doesn't matter anyway, they lost..

I'm trying to add variety to my grocery list. I seem to buy the same veggies and snacks week after week. I'm so boring. Sarah and I went shopping last night and I got the staples (Soy milk, peanut butter etc). But now I need my veggies.
Carrots top my list then there's avocado, celery, potatoes, broccoli....

I tend to only buy one week at a time. Otherwise there's spoilage. I'm baking muffins tomorrow after our long run (18k). I am waiting for my coworker to help me out with my light fixture. I changed the bulb (which blew) no problem. But now I can't get the dumb fixture back on. I am afraid I am going to drop it. With my luck, I would... better get someone else to do it.

torch groupie


Leigh Goldie and his wife, Bethe are the nicest people. I was happy to take Leigh's picture this morning. I even got my picture taken with him and the torch (Picture to come later). I was a groupie. And it was fun.

Torch Day at the DHT Office


The Olympic Torch illuminated its way through the GP streets this morning. I was in the park, where Leigh Goldie lit the cauldron. After the chaos, I took some pictures with my co-workers. Pete's last day is Monday. He loved having his picture taken.
