Our first weekly Vancouver running meetup last week was a success so we’re making it a regular thing. This week we’re meeting up at 6pm near City Square. I’ve created a permanent page for our group with details on the run. It’ll be updated weekly.
The idea of a weekly running meetup has been bandied about by a few Vancouverites on Twitter, and I have decided to unilaterally declare this week our official first run! The regular time for our run will be 6:30pm on Wednesdays, and the location will rotate based on group membership so we’re not always starting [...]
Rebecca just announced a new series on her blog called Fitness Friday, where she’ll talk about her own fitness progress and experiences at Fitness World (and perhaps elsewhere?). Anyhow, it got me thinking about my own fitness activities here in Vancouver. One of the things I love about this city is that it’s just so [...]
This evening I decided to check out a free boot camp fitness class that was happening at the Nike Runner’s Lounge down in Coal Harbour, which is just a short jog from my place in the West End. The lounge has been around for over a year but I hadn’t made it down there until [...]
It’s been a while… In the time I have been neglecting my blog I have: 1. Taken a trip to Europe (Barcelona and Florence) and 2. Run in the 2008 Sun Run I haven’t managed to get my photos from my Europe trip on Flickr yet so I’ll leave the trip report for a later [...]
Wyn recently blogged about her Sun Run registration. Our birthdays must be close because I also registered for the Sun Run last week and was horrified when it asked for my “age on the day of the race” and I had to write 30! On the bright side, as Wyn points out, we’ve moved up [...]
After a peak in my running motivation in late summer and early fall (moving downtown = new morning running buddy!), I faltered in October and barely ran at all! I’m attempting to get back into running this month, and signing up for a race often helps give me that extra little push to get out [...]
After a winter of sloth I have actually been pretty good at the exercise thing this summer. Living by the seawall (the best place in the world to go for a jog!) definitely helps. Anyhow, I am off to Halifax this weekend to visit friends and family and I’ve signed up for a 5k while [...]
The apartment hunt continues but the hunt for a Wii is over. The Source put me on their backorder list when they couldn’t fill my order a couple weeks ago and they finally came through with one late last week. With any luck I’ll be able to pick it up at Purolater tomorrow evening. And [...]
My 2007 has not gotten off to the best start. First, I got a letter from Revenue Canada letting me know there was an error in my 2005 taxes and I owed them lots of money. Then, my running shoes (and with them my $400 orthotics that were less than 6 months old!) disappeared. Finally, [...]
