GOT an amazing run in on Monday, the good old Eglington - Avenue route.
Weather conditions were horrid, raining, cold, dark, and just plain undesirable.

Finished with a time around 1:08 (at that was because we almost got run over by a car, that didn't see us at all (need reflectors), near UCC. BOY was that an experience.

Overall, both V and I were totally excited and stoked about everything in general which made the run so much more enjoyable. A GREAT RUN!!!

But then all good things must be offset by something bad. BIKE troubles again. Luckily I was well prepped and used my two legs to get to school and back. gah!

This is the facts of an on coming wintery weather in the next couple of days.

This got me sad, and the fact that I won't be able to bike anymore.
In my own honor, I've made a new goal...

to learn about building a bike and making a new fixie over the winter months.

I call my new concept bike: nu-rave fixie!

Let's see what parts and frame I can get. it'll help me relax and it can be a new hobby.. instead of "still knitting"

Criminal Minds

Best show on the TV nowadays

best quote of tonight's best show - starring Jason Alexander (from Seinfeld)

"Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love." Martin Luther King, Jr.

what's shaking

Next saturday I will be this - :D b/c

CSI written, lunch with S, study/chill, run/, RP and this.

Second week in November - new light, new perspective.
Count: 1/98/12

NO swimming, opted for short swim, I don't consider anything under 2k a swim. Next week.

Crunch time is approaching fast. With 2 tests every week; alternating between 5 courses, and quizzes every week in my other class, it's getting me more focused to understand, compute, and analyze topics at hand. Not just the simple rote memory questions.

I'm glad that 44darts is on his way to the great white north and that his exams went well.

Got in some squashing techniques :D. it was fun!

Here's to the holiday season!

On the plate for this week:
AGO - grand opening
Law assigning - don't understand at all.
two tests. resume revamping.
BBQ fun!

hoping to stick to gordo's mantra! I'll tell you how that goes., and hoping to break those new shoes out of the box.

FIRE ALARM

There is the new book I want to read/get my hands on after exams are done... (not free until Dec 12th) But I'm slowly being booked...

Veganomicon!!! search it. It's apparently quite amazing for recipes in the vegan world!

teary-eyed

There is a couple things I'd like to address in this post:

1) OBAMA, knew it was coming, but not sure if he can really change all that he wants in 4 years. Let's see if he keeps his promises, and actually survives this economic downturn.

2) Good-bye FB. It was great while it lastest, but it's really draining on me.
As a substitute, I will post thoughts here and set up (re-activate my photo album set @ photobucket / or set up a new one). As much as I loved finding people, I really don't want ppl that I haven't met in real life to judge me by my photos/friends/ etc... without actually knowing me.
It's toooo instant, toooo impersonal, and I really don't want others to know where I am. Also it's a marketing ploy that is amazing at what it does.

3) Le Sigh! Christmas season is here, ALREADY! I know it's crazy.

4) Last thing: I'm glad that I know the people I know. It makes my heart melt everytime I look @ my blog and the picture in the header!!! HEARTS

Until next time.

New training mentality.

new goals:

Swim x2/wk
Run x 5
Bike - for commuting
Yoga/Pilates x1
Weights x3
Core alternate days

I'll post a spiffy schedule shortly.

Here is what a typical Week entails.
