walking 24:00 [1] 1.2 km (20:00 / km)
man,this is feeble, but it's really tough out there - around the block plus a bit, the ice is scarey...
Tuesday Dec 30, 2008 #
walking 26:00 [1] 1.3 km (20:00 / km)
slightly less feeble walk w yaktrax on, on snowy trails, very slick cuz everything is layered with water, yuck. R knee has been cranky for about 5 days now probably cuz of teensy repetitive twists on uneven snow/ice, am starting to feel the need to protect it a bit - may strap it for next few days.
Might be able to start swimming again soon, that would be super-cool!

Note
was messing about with calculators assessing Xmas season damage and have determined I am 67 inches tall and for the first time in my life weigh 67 kg. This is charmingly symmetrical and yet still I wish to weigh a bit less. which I will work on. BMI is 23.2 so obviously not life-threatening, but I do want that poundage to be less.

picked up parents at the ferry terminal - monster snow - back from the corner grocery (whooot! I scored a litre of Earth's Choice organic olive oil, the best olive oil in the world which induces riots & fisticuffs in the grocery aisle plus vicious glares at those people who manage to snatch up 6 bottles as soon as it gets stocked on the shelf & slink hastily over to the checkout, rat-finks!!). plus a quick dusk-and-yet-more--snow-fallling walk around Sandborne, G galloping along the snow-trenches, goggling at the cheerful Christmas Eve snow-shovellers, very festive & neighborly.

walking 28:00 [1] 1.4 km (20:00 / km)
nice walk around the park, dark & gloomy, cold. didnt do much except tidy & start doing christmas tree, made a rather odd dinner of puzzlingly unsuccessful squashbased on Mattbites, good vegetarian stuffing, good bean soup, & passive-aggressively simple chicken for D - I am such cr*p at cooking meat & I just lost all inventiveness & jammed it in the oven w some pepper on it (!??)- Betty Crocker et al are right there on the kitchen shelves but I just couldnt get it together to make goodeness happen... D seemed to like it OK tho.

did more dining out today - ooof! scouted a cool breakfast place, classic greasy spoon, most excellent, & then downtown for a matinee of the latest James Bond which I mostly didnt get but we ate the hugest thing of popcorn & a whole lotta M&M's so I was pretty happy, plus playing with mt new wedding band in the dark heeheheh. dodged around the aftermath of the Santa Parade, went to the downtown library, visited Fat Burger which was a bit of an epiphany, & then did the evening dogwalk around the block. fun weekend. not much cooking, but a lotta eating.

dimsum yay, then medically stuff very annoying at Highgate, but found a cool action-sculpture w water wheel & a shell & a frog waiting for a shower, very cool, so that sorta made up for it. Then a new wedding ring at Metrotown (titanium & a pink CZ, whooot!), tried to go to a movie but it was too late.
