Last weekend I was in Toronto for the CN Tower Climb. It was meant to be an exciting event to do cooperatively with Will and his girlfriend, however plans changed at the last minute and I ended up doing the climb alone. But Erin and Cathie were at the top to cheer, and that [...] October 17th, 2011
The PEC marathon was a disaster. Personally, I wasn’t prepared and it showed. In retrospect I don’t know how I pulled Ottawa off so well. Around 29 km I decided to stop my pace. My first half was a respectable 1:50-ish. From 29 it was quite down hill. I walked many kilometres in the [...] September 27th, 2011
This Sunday is the PEC Marathon. I’ll be the only one I know running. It has an 8am start time, which should put me in at the finish around noon. I’m in no rush, as I have already beat my marathon goal for the year. I think it will be cool just to finish [...] August 7th, 2011
Hi Internet, I have posted some new photosets to my Flickr account. In chronological order, MK’s Surprise 30th Birthday, Bluesfest 2011, and from a trip to Aventure Lafleche’s aerial adventure. It is worth noting that these events all took place before Stephanie worked her magic on my hair, which is now beautiful. None-the-less, they [...] August 6th, 2011
I spent my day bicycling and cooking. I’d like to tell you about both. This morning Adam and I bicycled from my house to Carleton Place. This was almost 80 km round-trip. We took the Ottawa-Carleton Trailway, best described on this page about cycling from Ottawa to Carleton Place. We stopped at Gourmet Restaurant [...] August 4th, 2011
I may have posted already indicating what is upcoming for me with respect to sport, but I thought I’d go over for my own benefit. On August 20th I will be in Toronto to support the runners in the Midsummer Night’s Run. I will not be running. Some family members are running the 15 [...] July 24th, 2011
Yesterday morning Adam and I went for a bicycle ride. I was riding my mountain bike as we were intending to go through the Kanata Lakes area. We got 5 minutes in and turned around because the bugs were insane. We ended up bicycling to to Carp–specifically to the Diefenbunker. We turned around and [...] May 29th, 2011
Well, I the Ottawa Race Weekend has come to a close and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Today I ran the Ottawa Marathon and destroyed my 4 hour goal with a final chip time of 3:43:49. This is a pace of 5:18/km (8:32/mile). I am very happy with this time. You can [...] May 18th, 2011
Hello friends and randoms, The National Capital Marathon is nearly upon us and I am about to inflict unexpected agony on my body. To help ease the pain I will pass the time listening to music, which should be both motivational and upbeat. The last marathon I ran included some tracks suggested by you [...] March 21st, 2011
Further updates: I played squash on Saturday morning. Adam and I played an intense match-up. New racquet and new shoes in hand for Adam. It was fun. Saturday afternoon we got Adam’s bike back on the road. Topped up the battery, pumped up the tires, cleaned and lubed the chain, full oil change with [...] |
