Today I turned 34, so we had a nice family dinner with a home made Ice cream cake for desert. Melissa and Jacob did an excellent job with the cake. It’s nice to know that Ice Cream cakes are a treat Violet wont have to miss out on because of her allergies.
Today’s picture is of Jacob and his Nan. I snapped it while he was talking to my mommy about Blastball. It was such a cute moment I thought I should capture it.
Today Jacob was supposed to start Blastball, but the rain kept it from happening. We did get his uniform though. He looks like such a little boy. He’s next scheduled game is this Saturday, weather permitting I’ll post more photos then.
Today Canada picks new leaders, and so off I went to vote. So My picture today is of my ballet and the tough question I faced. Who to vote for? I posted this as the Polls close so I don’t know the results yet. It seems like the most interesting election in a long time, so I think I’ll skip the first hour of analysis and go for a run. Perhaps I’ll post again when I get back, and we know what our parliament will look like.
Today on the eve of the anniversary of my first run I took part in my second race. The distance was double my last race, the Harry Rosen 5k Spring Run-Off. Today’s race was the Sporting Life 10k. My Time was 57:18.3, only .4 seconds behind Dan’s time of 57:17.9. The running felt great, our pace was 5 Minutes and 44 Seconds a km. Making it the fast I’ve ever run for a sustained amount of time. Now I’ve got 2 weeks to prepare to more than double todays race distance. On May 15th I run the Mississauga Half-Marathon. You can pledge your support here. I’ll be writing more about it in the coming days.
Today’s picture is a picture of me, but for fun I used some of the effects from the LittlePhoto to make it more interesting.
I spent last night trying to figure out how I would get up to the sporting life at Young and Eglington(Actually quite a bit north of Eglington). Today the stars aligned and I found myself heading up to the area for work. So I skipped lunch and picked up my race kit for Sunday’s Sporting Life 10k. No shirt this time, it seems the delivery has been delayed, we’ll pick them up after the race on Sunday. It’s quite exiting to be preparing for my second race. Of course the big one is in 2 weeks when I run the Half Marathon.
Today Melissa and I headed to the Running room and got me some Gu. Energy Gel. It seems strange that my runs are now long enough that I need an energy boost in the middle of them.
Today after school I took Jacob to Mastermind Toys to pick out his reward for going to bed on time without a fight for 14 nights in a row. He was allowed to choose one playmobil that was under $20. It was not an easy decision for him. But after much debate and explaining which were in his budget, he finally choice the Holiday Compact Play Set.
After Violet’s little incident this weekend her car seat cover needed a cleaning. So we pulled it off and washed it, today while looking at her seat, I was struck by how much of it is just Styrofoam… I guess that’s why they have an expiry date and are good for only one accident.
