Exhausted, but enjoying a pint of Guinness. I just ran 29 KM on the treadmill. I opted for the treadmill today for my 'long run' as it's -27 C with the wind chill today. As much as I dislike the treadmill, I would rather not risk frostbite. Some things just aren't worth it.
Wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be. 2:25 minutes on a treadmill does sound like hell. But, 'The Princess Bride' started just as I jumped on. It's one of my all time favourite movies, so it was a nice surprise.
Other than that, low key day. It's too cold to do anything. Good excuse to sit and do nothing (I think I deserve it anyway after running 29 KM
). Have a couple pints, watch some football, play some fooseball.
Other than the dreaded coldness that this week has brought, life has been really good as of late. My job is good, and getting better (although in the last 10 months I have had 4 different job titles). My boss recently re-jigged my profile/job title at work (without me asking), and kinda went outside the rules to get me a raise.
He has strong concerns that I am going to get 'poached' by another department or company. The reality is (and he doesn't need to know this) I have no plans on going to another company. I've worked for the same company for 9 years, and am getting to the point were my vacation increases, my pension is good, my pay is good. It would take a major raise for me to leave.
I am very much looking forward to 2011. This year looks to be (knock wood) a very very strong year financially for barbigirl and I. Add in the fact that her and I are very comfortable with exploring different lifestyles together (we both know what we want, and how to get it ), have 2 or 3 vacations planned, and that the kids are getting to be a little more independent = very good 2011.
Life's good lately. Although, to be fair, its hardly ever bad. I've been very fortunate thus far in life.
