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.

I have been working with this dude for the last 8 months or so, at first I really wasn't sure if he was gay or not...

Yayyy...work blog on smart phone... so forgive my spelling/grammer.

This past weekend was fun to say the least. Went out to the local roller derby to watch the very hot trixxx. They lost, but still good times.

Then back to my place with a couple SG friends who I won't name...haha, but barbigirl and I had a great time. Crazy night...lots of drinks, nudity,...

Whats the best thing to do after finishing a marathon? The obvious answer is to go home, rip the shitty old carpet out of the living and dining room and replace it with laminate.

So that's exactly what I did - starting Monday - the day after I ran 42.2 KM. New floor, new trim, etc.. And it only took me until midnight 4 nights...

Yesterday, I ran the race of my life. I never intended to do so, but sometimes the unexpected happens.

Barbigirl and I went to Toronto for the weekend to do the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. This was the 2nd time around in this race (and distance) for me. Last year, this race destroyed me, chewed me up, and spit me out. I had a bad taste...

Well, on vacation officially today. Been 6 months since my last one. Right now taking a break from completely refinishing the back deck.

I love building things. Hell, I could do it all day long. Time flies. Refinishing things? Not my cup of tea. I guess I don't like the tediousness of fixing every little problem, would rather create my own as I build. haha...but,...
