Yesterday, I ran the race of my life. I never intended to do so, but sometimes the unexpected happens.
Barbigirl and I went to Toronto for the weekend to do the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. This was the 2nd time around in this race (and distance) for me. Last year, this race destroyed me, chewed me up, and spit me out. I had a bad taste...

Wow you did awesome! I am really impressed! I think next year I am going to make the jump to the marathon. When I was finished the half I felt like I could have done it if I had trained a little more. I hope to get a few half marathons and then do the full waterfront marathon.
OK - I am back....
Been a long time...been ignoring the online world and living in the real one for a while.
Actually just been crazy busy; work, kids, summer, running, dog, wife, house, white picket fence, apple pie, you know....standard stuff...well maybe not the last two.
So, marathon in 2 weeks! Very excited. I remember last year, at this time, blogging how I was...

I WISH grandparents would take my kids for a few days....Well... Marathon training is in full swing. Ran 26 KM yesterday....next long run is 28 this Saturday. These days my short runs are 13-16 KM. Nothing like getting up at 6 AM on a wednesday to run 13 KM? Right? Oh wait, how about getting up at 6 AM after a night of drinking on Sunday morning to run 38? Hahah.....
My legs already hurt....

Hey peeps...been busy here. Its been a few weeks since I last posted a blog. Way too long. Oh well.
Every weekend it seems we have something going on. Yesterday went to see Weezer and Sam Roberts at an outdoor festival. Got rid of the kids for the night. The show was out of town, so we got a hotel. Swam for a bit...it was...

oh...the concert at the Molsen Amp in Toronto...I am trying to get the day off work so we don't seriously have to rush to get there
lilcupcake:
Oh I would have been pissed too! That sucks about work Glad you enjoyed the concert even if it wasnt without incident! A man should always stand up for his lady! Good job sir. Glad it didnt end badly so that you got to enjoy yourselves. Now stop being so dang busy so we can get together! lol

Now stop being so dang busy so we can get together! lol Well, on vacation officially today. Been 6 months since my last one. Right now taking a break from completely refinishing the back deck.
I love building things. Hell, I could do it all day long. Time flies. Refinishing things? Not my cup of tea. I guess I don't like the tediousness of fixing every little problem, would rather create my own as I build. haha...but,...

I will look out for you Saturday and a beer after sounds good.
I skipped the mountain bike race today but I did get out out the mountain bike today. I actually ride the mountain bike more than I ride the road bike. I am hoping to do this, this summer http://www.elementracing.ca/raceinfo.php

I love blogging on company time (but not foolish enough to do it on company equipment). Stick it to the man!!!!!!! Hahaa
So, this past sunday I ran in marathon. Maybe the best race I have ever done. Good day for it..legs felt good, weather was good (rain - which I know most of you aren't fond of, but when your running 21 km it...

Work bloggin again. No not about work - who wants to talk about that nonsense. Bloggin from work. Sitting in my littlecorner avoiding the world...enjoying the view. My window overlooks the fork of the river here, which has a huge fountain that the city seems to have built just for my viewing pleasure. Thanks tax payers of London, the 50,000 a year you give to...

Aww well enjoy the race! We will be missin you and Barbi

have a great run...looking forward to hearing about your performance
If I said "debauchery was in abundance last night"...it might win understatement of the year.
How does BBQ and derby translate into staying up until 5:30 in the morning trashed beyond belief? Beer, more beer, then more, then more....you get the idea.
If I told you about my night...well...I won't...you wouldn't belive me even I did. If either Barbigirl, cnd_James, or lilcupcake want...

cdn_james:
yes that is me in the red shoes...before I got my arm inked...here is another pic when I went kayaking...not so exciting of a pic...but if you do a lot of boating you know how rough the water can be
going on whitewater is an awesome time, and I go every year if I could but I don't think I can afford it this year
Ahhhh yaaa...
35 out with the humidity. Left work @ noon. Went for a run. Now 1pm, chillin @ my fave pub, sippin my fave brew, on the patio, waiting for my lovely wife.
Life is good.

Blog from work on my Palm Pre:
My boss, whom I've never met, has allowed me to work 7-3 each day. Which I LOVE. No one is really in the office typically til 9, so it gives me loads of time to slack....hahha
This weekend chillin with Barbigirl, Cnd_James, and the lovely C_Jane. BBQ, enjoy the sun, let the kids hang, have...
