I joined a half marathon clinic in an effort to train 'scientifically'.

Today, it was snowing, and I went out for a 10K run. Lots of slush and still snowing hard during the entire run.

I really felt like crap during the first 15 minutes, but after a couple more hills, the last 10 minutes were really nice. The bike ride back was absolutely miserable. I thought my fingers were going to fall off.

 

What a day to be alive! :-) After a shower, I think I'm going to get some brunch.

I don't have a lot of spare time. I'm doing a half marathon clinic at the Denman Running Room, I spend a lot of time paddling, and I'm trying to fit in a yoga class and swim lessons.

TV is one of those things that you fit into those 30 minutes while you're cooking or eating.

This week, I managed to catch bits and pieces of a VIP marathon. I assume it was a marathon because every time I turned on the TV, it was on. Hurray for Spike TV.

And... they also have the Playboy Reality TV show. Imagine a whole room of blonde chicks with silicon implants. It seems to be a requirement. Hugh keeps walking around in his silk PJ's too. I don't want to be called a boobie hater, but these girls are not doing anything for me. Time to change the channel I think.

 

Halloween's over, leaves are coming down, and I'm wearing thermal underwear when I go paddling now.

My favorite holiday is over, and now it's a slow trudge to the bloody Christmas festivities. I saw some Christmas decorations on sale even before Halloween. Sheesh.

 

On the work news front, my company has been purchased! The dreams of untold riches have been washed into the gutter, and our new corporate overlords will be coming in on Friday to sell us their vision of a new world order. Viva la revolution.
