Okay, so I may have found an apartment. I know I’ve said this before, but that one fell through. So I’m not going to get too excited this time. It’s a nice bachelor apartment with a river view, backyard and a cute beagle next door. Most importantly, it’s in my price range. I don’t want [...]

Dear Mother Nature,
I am not impressed!!!!

Apparently, she doesn’t want me doing anymore outdoor training this week. I may sneak in a bike ride on Wednesday, but it’s likely to change. It already poured all weekend. I’m also now obsessively checking the “14-day trend” for my triathlon on July 5th. I hope it doesn’t rain!!!
I had [...]

Surprise! A midday update Since I’m treating my boy to a b-day dinner tonight, I figured I’d break the day up into two parts. Plus, I’m pairing alcohol with an early bedtime tonight, so expect my next post in the morning
Started my work day at 5am my favourite way – with [...]

Sleep vs. Hunger

Hello! Hope everyone’s hump days went swimmingly. Mine did, quite literally. I was awoken way too early again this morning by my full bladder and growling tummy. I can fall back asleep after going to the washroom, but throw in some tummy rumbling and I’m screwed. So I dragged myself out of bed and made a hot bowl [...]

Hello blog friends! I spent all morning saying there were going to be severe thunderstorms on the radio, and it’s still sunny!! My friends always joke that I’d never make it as a weather girl. I can’t help it if Environment Canada sucks! I’m almost disappointed. I was hoping for some thunder and torrential downpour [...]

Before I get started, I want to share a little perk from work tonight. I was covering city council and look what was on the agenda:

That’s for my triathlon!! Is it strange that I find all this re-zoning stuff interesting? Maybe I could be “Councillor Susan” someday??
Moving on…

Hello! It has been another busy day around these parts. I have full mobility back in my neck. I’m pretty sure studying for long periods in bed strained my neck and allowed me to pinch a nerve easily. I have since moved my study HQ to the living room where I’m not as [...]

One stomach issue cured!!

Well, I did it. I ran 6 miles on the treadmill today! Yay!! That is officially my longest distance to date. To be honest, it wasn’t as easy as last week’s 5 miles (I use the term “easy” loosely here). But I plowed through, doing it in 61:50. Here’s what my HRM had to say:
