Ben had his last appointment with the surgeon today just to do a follow up. He says he no longer has any pain at all, and though the full range of motion hasn’t returned to his toes, I’m glad he...

I did not mean to sound like a monster in my last entry! I do care about people and want to help them. No more excuses. I’ve gotten up to nine minutes of running, and I can’t wait to get over t...

---

The church where I work is located in the downtown of the city. So we get A LOT of people in off the streets. Sometimes they just sit and need a place to warm up, but usually they come in looki...

---

Remember a couple of weeks ago, when I was really on a role with running, and going out about two or three times a week? And then remember when I stopped writing about it? Ya, that’s because I ...

---

There is a pastor here at church who sometimes chooses to not be a slave to the phone. I can understand and appreciate that. It’s frustrating when you are in the middle of something to have to ...

---

I feel like it was the perfect mix of laziness and productiveness. On Friday evening I walked home after work, threw my stuff together, then ran to my friends house (literally I ran… it feels goo...

---

Well, I don’t want to speak too soon, but I MAY have kicked this cold with only marginal symptoms left. I just have a slight cough… so we’ll see if it worsens or not. The rest of me feels pretty...

---

So I picked up a little side job, transcribing interviews. There are only three interviews, and they are only about 40 minutes each; so it’s not long term or anything; but he did say he’d pay me...

---

So, I spent the whole weekend inside. Friday after work, I’d decided to meet with two friends to get some swimming exercise. We exercise together two or three times a week, which is AMAZING. ...

Lent has started. YAY! I always look forward to this time of year, and Easter is my favourite holiday, so we know that’s coming up soon! I had a wacky dream again last night. I dreamt that I w...

---

Those are some of my favourite words. Ben and I ended up not being able to celebrate Valentine’s Day ON Valentine’s Day because the day became too full… and we were fed too much by Ben’s mom, so...

---

I noticed that in the summer I usually have my long weekends planned in advance… but in the winter they tend to sneak up on me. For Valentine’s day tomorrow Ben’s family is all getting together f...

---

I’m just SO tired in the winter. I mean, I still get the same amount of hours after work until bedtime, but I get far less done during that time. After my 45 minute walk home in the snow, I am ...

---

Once again I find myself feeling irritable to the point where my bones feel annoyed. I know, that sounds ridiculous… but literally the core of my body is so annoyed with having to sit in this ch...

---

Is this becoming a regular thing? Running logs are BORING! Sorry for that. We went out this morning and called it quit’s after half of our run. Just TOO COLD! -35 with the windchill, we decid...

---

Well this morning we upped (is that a word? Weird…) our run from 8 minutes which we did on friday, to 12 minutes! So intervals of five minutes walking and 3 minutes running, and we did that four...

---

I’m feeling GREAT today! I feel accomplished, and the day has only started. Last night I had a Pampered Chef party. I only bought a little bit, since I really didn’t need anything. I mostly w...

---

I went running this morning. I ran for a total of six minutes, and walked for 20 minutes. It’s this beginners running plan where you walk 5 minutes, then run for 2 minutes, and just keep altern...

---

We’ve officially booked our trip. We put down a deposit, but we have yet to receive the official confirmation e-mail. I REALLY need to renew my passport, as it expires sometime this year, and I...

So I FINALLY decided on a tour for our vacation time. Portugal and Spain! Oh, I can picture myself there, seeing things, seeing everything there is to see! It’s full up… we can’t book… :( I t...

---

Today I am thankful for this winter we are having. There were predictions flying around that this was supposed to be a worse winter than last year, and though we have had spells of cold, we have...

---

I spent most of Saturday in my kitchen. Well, perhaps not most of it, but a good sized chunk of it; and believe it or not, I actually enjoyed it! I made a large pot of chicken soup, I prepared d...

---

Last night I had wild dreams. Perhaps it was due to the all-you-can-eat Brazilian barbecue we had for dinner. I dreamt first that my family was kidnapped and put in a truck and being driven down...

---

So, about 40 minutes after I wrote that last entry, Ben sat down beside me and said “lets just make a decision. Let’s decide we’re going to Europe, and we’ll save as much as we can and if we don...

---

I need to get up off my butt and get back into the swing of things. After the busy Christmas/New Years season, I’m having a hard time dealing with the following: a) working a full 5 day week b)...
