I feel FAST!
The other day I had such a crappy run with my sister. It was 13 degrees Celcius colder than the average at home. She is used to the cold and kicked my ass as I turned in after 6km even though I’d planned to do 10k. I’ve never been that cold on a run.
In the last 24 hours I have driven 400km and drank a whole bunch and the sitting was nagging at my hips. I have been craving a run, so I...

I finally saw my best friend for the first time in one and a half years! We went where we should never go: factory outlets during boxing week. Two beautiful Christmas money Coach purses later, we had awesome dinner. The waitresses kept coming around to see if they could take away plates, and I think they were probably surprised to see that I finished all but half my sandwich, haha. Best night in a...
On the drive up to my Aunt & Uncle’s today I protested going through the drive-thru. They are the stupidest convenience invention on the earth that breed laziness and I refuse to use them. My mum and her bf let me go inside and get everyone coffees, so they clearly knew my thoughts on them.
Then, on the drive home, they stopped again even though they had JUST had coffee 15 minutes...

When I get home, I am going to start a Project Pan for 10 items. I have too many creams, for real.
I ran 10k tonight...
5km of it with Gary who writes FatDad. Nanaimo is a VERY hilly city and visitors are often hit hard with the amount of hills. Super stoked that Gary was at run club tonight and I had someone to remind me that I like running hills after all. He also runs in Vibrams and has completed no less than TEN half marathons in the past year. Whoa. Impressive.
Phil and I then decided to do another 5km to...
I am so bored. I have nothing to do at night. Deathly bored. This is one of those times where I wish we had cable. Wish that I had some textbooks for next semester. Wish that it didn’t rain here 24/7 so I would actually want to go for a run.
When you don't feel like...

Could this mean that global warming will not kill us all??
Contagious Outlook
There is a security guard at my school that goes out of her way to be positive and kick us out of the library in a nice manner. Her attitude is contagious, even when I’ve been slogging out a project for 6 hours, you can’t help but smile when she comes to say that the library is closing but the commons will still be open for another 2 hours if you still need to keep going.
Tonight I...
Silly rant:
I like pen and paper. I can’t find the planner that I’m after. This is actually really really terrible. Large Black Hardcover Moleskine 2011 12 Month Weekly Notebook. It appears that only soft cover black ones exist or hard cover reds. Why would a black hardcover not be made? Ridiculous. I’m pretty sure that a soft cover will not survive one year with me, and I...
How is USPS so cheap compared to CanadaPost? It costs me around $12 to send my sister show-box sized packages from BC to Ontario, yet it only cost an ebay seller in Wyoming to ship me a similar packet for $2. Two dollars people. Internationally. How does this make sense?

I got an A- in my financial accounting class!!!! I was desperately hoping for a B-. Awesome. I am SO stoked.
Still waiting to hear about my managerial accounting grade, but it can’t hurt that the assignment that I started two hours after it was due scored 100%. I have one more exam, on Friday, and it should be an easier one. Plus I have three whole days to study for it. It is such a relief...
Hate when I forget my lunch in the truck that is at least a 12 minute walk away and a 12 minute walk back. Especially when I came up to the library for the exact purpose of getting some super studying/assignment completion in because exam/assignment is due at 1… 4 hours away. Guess I will have to see how long I can starve before cracking. Argh.
I am stuyding in a new quiet study room on campus. It is very strange and not cubicles, but just tables sized for individuals. And it would look out onto the ocean EXCEPT that it is once again incredibly foggy here - probably going to hear the fog horn all night tonight. Argh.
My mind is seeming to wander more and more away from studying. Productivity is rapidly decreasing everyday. Worst...
“In another study, 18-25-year-olds dosed with caffeine or glucose performed...”
– I knew this all along. Redbull for the win!

I am making marmalade. We got a 20lbs bx of oranges through a fundraiser, and even though Phil and I are super fruit eaters, two just cannot physically eat that many oranges before they spoil. Today is also one of my study days, and I feel that this is some of the best procrastination that I have ever accomplished. Plus, they will be gifts for friends who we don’t get a full on gift for (aka...

Refreshed to be back in the gym
I went to the gym today for the first time in over 2 weeks. It was awesome. I feel like I might actually have kicked this terrible sickness’ butt! I thought the endless days of throwing up, exhaustion, zero appetite, not being able to breathe, and a hacking cough would never end. Today I am just a little sniffly.
This morning I tried not to go hard, and I didn’t really. It was busy at...

I normally hate being a sneaker nay-sayer but I hear Adidas are sub-par running shoes… :\ I’ve never run in them though, just what I’ve heard!
Hey it’s good to know! Thanks!

DownSizing: kicking me when i'm down →
downsizing:
The other night I was FED UP. Fed up with working too much, not putting myself first, losing sight of what is important to me. Not just losing weight - that’s dumb - but being happy…truly, deeply happy with myself. So I left work and went to a 6:15 spin class and came right back after. I have…
Love when I forget my power cord on a big presentation day. I really don’t want to go home, but it might be a necessary case if I can’t find someone willing to lend out their power cord. Arggh. And I even packed myself a whole day of food stuffs too.
Goal: finish the work on the presentation before my laptop dies (1:08 left).
