some plans for the next year...

-
From day to day, my plans change.

and, since i have no plans or ambition for my life anymore, here are some things i am considering, with no commitment to any of them:

  • going to peru and ecuador, to hike in the andes, see machu picchu and perhaps the galapagos (if i can afford this part).
  • hike up kilimanjaro.
  • go on a bike trip somewhere, maybe ride Ragbrai, in iowa, in july.
  • go to Liberia, visit my host family. Start in spain, and travel down through West Africa.
  • travel across north africa.
  • go to south africa on an multi-purpose advenutre, and hit up mozambique and visit my sponsored world vision child.
  • do my MPH in international health and development at Simon Fraser (vancouver), or Tulane (New Orleans), or University of Capetown (south africa), or somewhere else.
  • quit my job, sell my belongings, and leave town.
  • Keep my job, make some money, and force myself to be settled for a while, while i discover western canada and vancouver some more.
  • race in triathlons. maybe do a 1/2 marathon or adventure race or a 24-hour race of some kind.
  • not get fat, or sustain any sort of athletic injury, including near death experiences.
  • coach rowing, and do some rec rowing.
  • lead a Teen Missions team.
  • Drive/hitchhike/take the ferries to Alaska
  • get my teaching degree.
  • get my nursing degree.
  • not do research, once i am done my M.Sc. but do get some papers published.
  • live in the inner-city.
  • go work at pioneer alberta for a while.

this list will continue to change. be added to, and be taken away from. anyone want to join me on any of these things?

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

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
