Wishing you the very best, shootingstar! Take care of yourself - give lots of time for recovery!

Shootingstar, I checked out the UofC outdoor centre program in your link - wow, that is impressive! I'm envious!

Love Halloween.
People in our office dress up - about 15 of us - and we get together for a potluck lunch. This year I will be the Devil with a Blue Dress On!

That's too funny - can't get that visual out of my head!!

Emily, that is horrifying!

Glad to hear that you are recovering. I think it would find it hard to cycle in the same area after an incident like that - afraid that it would happen again!

You're braver than I am, Crankin - I can't imagine even trying to walk in those heels! ;)

Guilty! Not the 4" or higher heels - at 5'9", that would just be too much for me - but most around 3". Shoes, boots - definitely my indulgence! Our office is not a casual environment so I justify it...

Our range is probably the least-used appliance in our house.
Between the crockpot (just realized I could cook spaghetti squash in that, as well as all the usual stuff), the toaster oven (wonderful...

Watched the television coverage last night, particularly of the evacuation of Bellevue Hospital. So hard to fathom the massive devastation. I get that (as they say) people will get through this but...

Managed to sneak in one more commute today.
It was an absolutely beautiful ride in the morning - full moon, clear sky, stars shining - temperature not bad at around -2C.
Ride home was tougher....

Shootingstar, love the helmet!

Work wardrobe is dark colours and classic styles for the most part - black, navy, grey, brown - usually suits. However, love to take it up a notch with bright contrasts - bright blouse/sweater or...

Hope everyone is safe and that the Mammoth Storm turns out to be less than predicted.....!

Have two co-workers who are actively planning to relocate once they retire - one in 2 years, one in 3 years - to live in the same city as their children & grandchildren. That city is over a thousand...

lph, my take on this is that it isn't so much being surprised that co-workers have parents my age, it's more a sense of realization that I am the same age as my co-workers' parents. As in - 'how did...

Like some others here, I have come to love running in skorts. Have a few and my current favourite is from Skirt Sports through TE site. Light grippers so didn't ride up, I like the back pocket (ipod...

Agree with jessmarimba and OakLeaf that it is a fun distance, although I wouldn't have said that at about 18km! It's much more fun after the fact! :)

Definitely have to work on stamina and...

Charlieggo, I live in Northern Ontario, this one is in my hometown, so no travelling.....www.thunderbaymarathon.com.

I admire your commitment to training for a full marathon - that's beyond...

My goal this year was to run a half marathon this fall. Been training for it over the summer but, man is it hard to find time to do that, along with cycling, golfing, etc. Oh, yeah, and work!
...

Fall is just the BEST time of year for those commutes. Cool/refreshing in the morning and warming up quite nicely in the afternoon. Ummm-hmmm!

The ride in this morning reminds me that (for me) the...

Amira, that is just the best post! You are an inspiration.

In our attached garage - which is not actually for vehicles - that's what the driveway is for; rather for 5 bikes, 2 kayaks, 2 sets of golf clubs and various other items mostly related to...

I really like the Shock Absorber http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodSZ_B5044.html.
Pricey but it does the job - nothing bounces - and looks pretty good. Enell is great for holding everything in place...

Hi, Spazzdog - another (sometime) golfer here! Congrats on finding an alternate activity that you enjoy and gives you the escape you need.

I can identify with your comment: I suck, but I really...

Not officially a Bike to Work Day here in my city, but it was a beautiful morning to ride to work on an 'unofficial' Bike to Work Day.
