some things i love right now

-
so, things started to look up. 
i finished my thesis proposal presentation, and it went phenomenally.  i am now a master's candidate, rather than just a master's student.  
YAY!  now it is data collection time, and MCAT study time.  which, might i say, i was rather annoyed to find out that all the august seats in vancouver are taken!  i have to go to everett, WA to write the dang test!  psh.

so, some things i love right now.



i love vancouver cherry blossoms.
















I love riding my bike.  Her name is Tinka.
I love vancouver.craigslist.com.  i think it is an amazing testament to human culture.  i love meeting interesting individuals through rideshare, or reading where people are traveling to, and why.  i love finding funny bikes for sale.  I love selling things (aka, maggie the matrix) on craigslist, and buying things (Xavier Rudd concert tickets).  i love that i rented my house off it. i love that people find their lost pets through craigslist, and that i can find cheap furniture.  i like that if i need to, i can look for jobs there, or even just read about personal trainers that are "wanted."   

i love my new work schedule. no more mondays, baby.  

i love having text message conversations with people i don't know.

i love that my roommate is creating a garden in pots.  

i love riding my bike so fast that i beat a girl on a electric bike.

i love my coworkers.  they make me laugh everyday. i love that they are so good at what they do.  

i love that if you make a stink to enough people, something might acutally get done, like having a 396$ ambulance ride covered on insurance!  yessss!!!!!

i love my new triathlon  kit.  Now i just need to do a tri or two or three.

Syracuse 70.3 race report

-
so, let's just start with a comment that I think this sport is hilarious . the things we do (and, read on, you will get some in this report) are ridiculous. Not only because we think that waking up at 4:30 am to go and get your exercise on for 5+ hours straight is fun, but we do things that in normal society would be considered completely inappropriate and people would wonder if you need a psych consult. i find it hilarious the pre-race rituals we have. the need to wear a "i've done an ironman" shirt to race check-in, rather than normal street clothes. the carting around of a gallon water bottle day before a race. the food we eat, and the abnormal sleep schedules we keep. hilarious. pre-race prep was pretty normal. I got to syracuse at about 6pm on friday, and meet Kelly Covert , her husband (also kelly covert!) and boys Noah and Ryan. It was a fantastic place to stay, and we indeed, talked! it was great :) after a solid sleep on friday night, I was able t

So, I have recently made a vow that I would never again write a race report on the same day as a race.  Well, that has been nixed for this race.  and, I guess the reason is because... I  know  it is going to be a race report that has no potential to be anything but good :)

Its been a while since I have posted.  It has also been a great month, with lots on the plate of things to do. I have finally started getting back to exercising on a pretty regular basis and anticipating the next year of training for Challenge Penticton in August.  It has included talking and seeing and loving puppies, in the anticipating of our family growing in the new year with a new little munchkin.  It has included going walking in the woods for a lovely spruce tree in anticipation of our first christmas as a family.  It has included the initiation of a small group in our home every 2 weeks, in anticipation of growing community among the "Gen X's and Y's" at St James Anglican church.  It has included a christmas party or two. It also includes a contest...  Our fabulous wedding photographers have an "I like it the most" contest;  we aren't in first place, but on a good go for second... maybe we can do a last push to first!!!  Please go and com
