seize the day

so i got my training schedule for next week from spaff yesterday, and at the very end of it he writes:

''ps. mississippi mud pie from loblaws is VERY overrated. (thought you needed to know as it sounds like something you'd like)''

i don't know what he's talking about . . .




and check out these 2 pics of my former client and figure skater supreme miss pugsley - now performing with disney on ice ! can't WAIT to go see her when they come to toronto in march !!

went for an easy run on the humber friday with christine. she was worried about hunters again, so she dressed accordingly . . .

yup - ain't nobody going to mistake her for bambi . . .

and tgifnc at crossfit !! adam was in charge and had half of us rowing and doing 50 reps of various insane things, including burpees, while the other half was doing increasing reps of other insane things, including burpees. this was after establishing our max box jump height. sarah did fantastic, reaching 28", whereas i could barely make 26 without the risk of adding more scars to my shins! then super strong lisa came over and cleared 30" like it was nothing! good grief! fedon and luca were over 44" and i was just waiting for one of them to bust a nut ! haha! our first attempt at the 'pic on the rower' didn't work too well. great close-up of the lovely sonia though . . .


ahh, that's better! thanks adam . . .

christine joined me saturday for a 'long run'. we met at cooli's and headed over towards the 7th line. met up with the japanese hikers right at the top of the first switchback north of 9 and had a good laff at one of them carrying a 'bear bell'. yup - better watch out for grizzlies in mono guys! good grief! felt good to be out and the temp was divine. however, i can sure tell my legs haven't been doing much climbing lately - can you say lactic acid build-up ??? owwwwww! regardless, it was a great day and it was especially nice to be running with christine again. incidently, we did manage to get in 2 hours, but it just about killed us. check out this kool seat carved into a big old fallen beech tree . . .

and finally, i want to say 'seize the day'. life as we know it can change just like that, so don't wait - get off your ass and do whatever calls you.

i love you dave - my beautiful kindred running spirit - we will get through this.
