Running Commentary

BRRRR May 16 2005

So I made it to Yellowknife safe and sound. It’s SO cold up here still.

It was a super long trip up here. Mostly becuase of my 4 hour lay over in Edmonton!

The flight from Toronto was super bumpy! So I spent the entire 4 hour flight totally expecting to die in a firey plane crash, which was lovely. The woman sitting beside me kept saying “oh don’t worry I fly all the time and I’ve beening in a crash.” Which I thought was rather odviouse given that she was still alive and all. She ment well…but really I found no comfort in that at all. So I just sat in my seat mourning leaving my sister (which was by far the sadest goodbye I’ve ever had to do..sniff sniff) and saying my hail mary’s in a last attempt to no be damned to hell for all time for my evil lesbian ways.

Than got to Edmonton and got a little lost in airpot…good thing I had 4 hours to find my way to the departure area.
THAN got stopped in security where they searched my hat, and shoes and inspected any peircings I had…my wallet, braclet, and x-rayed my phone. All becuase of a nickel that I apperenlty failed to remove from my pocket…sheesh.

Than it was off to Yellowknife. Where I was met at the airpot by my girlfriend. Lovely.

So here I am, freeze my ass off, happy to be in the same time zone as my girlfriend and missing my sister much. It would be nice if the contrey was just a little smaller.

Anyway, thats it for now.
Cheers!

SOLD

With our house on the market for under a week. We may have sold it yesterday for exactly what we are asking.
Privately.
AND we sold all of our appliances with it…so you know what this means right? Time to shop for BIG TICKET ITEMS!
HURRAY!!!

Feeling…better May 14 2005

Ok..I know I have been absent lately. But I’m back…or at least..MORE back than I was yesterday. Things are coming together. We sort of bought a house up north. So we are sort selling this house and moving when school is out for Brendan.
I am excited and nervous and anxious all at the same time. This week was EXTREMELY stressful…but it has relieved a little so I’m feeling a little more….together. Apparently I don’t do stress well. How the hell did I survive life in help desk? Good lord. Oh right..cause I didn’t care about THEIR problems. Network down? meh…I’ll look at it.. forgot your password? Meh…you;re a moron…AGAIN….anyway…I digress.
Today I threw on my shoes and ran…and ran and ran and ran…15km actually. It felt great. I feel great. I have definitely re-found my mojo. Luckily it was only missing breifly.
So I hope to catch up with everyone. I think I’ll start now!

GONE RUNNING!

OH my god! I’ve lost my mojo May 11 2005

Oops I haven’t run since Saturday! Dang it. Something has come between me and my dri-fit everyday this week. And today when there wasn’t anything to stop me? I thought long and hard until I found something. And then? I thought about running..cooking dinner..I thought about running…eating? thought about running bathing the kids? thinkin about running! And now as I sit here trying to blog about something..ANYTHING worth reading? THINKING aBOUT RUNNING! ANd not just running in general. No no no..I’m thinking about my 15k route. My favourite route and how I could easily add 5k or so and make is really nice long run. I have a gel in my purse (of course I do! What self respecting runner WOULDN’T have a gel in her purse) and my ALL my running clothes are clean(Possibly a first!). I NEED TO RUN. Tomorrow..I run. Mark my words. I’m hoping for 15k but I’ll settle for 12.
