Brrrrrr ...

Today was just a gorgeous day ... just slightly frigid though, can't believe I still have the heating on lest I freeze my buns inside too.


I had to include this gorgeous photo of a cactus bloom, just one day only, then she disappears until next year when she will bloom again. Thank you Mars (aka the Shepherd) who's out in Nevada now. We all miss you!!

It was DA HOOD today, my running group's nickname for the Thurs. hill run that takes us from Villa Maria metro over Queen Mary and then somehow to Parc Ave. where Camilien Houde starts and then climbs steeply (average grade of 9-10% over 1.7 km). Chops and I ran 1:22 about and I think we did about 14k or so. Maybe I'll be able to give the correct stats soon - I've queried Mars who invented this course.

So good run but very tiring. The lack of sleep last night didn't help (computer crash). My legs are still a little heavy, especially since running is no longer my main sport, it's just one of three of them ... argh (what have I gotten myself into?!) I made a nice Chinese supper when I got home a little after 8pm and by the time I had finished eating, decided it wasn't worth rushing to the pool to swim half an hour on a full belly. I figure I'll get wet enough when I take my nice hot bath after writing this blog.

I sat on the couch to watch ER and then .... zzzzzz .... and now here I am. Time for beddy-bye my friends. Metalboy is going to give me an early wake-up time tomorrow. He's going to torture me with another long bike ride.

Sweet dreams everyone!
