| Fri - The Nev-Monster came down for some Stampede action and drinking Friday night. Wandered the city on Friday and contemplated dropping into Cowboys as Zoolander suggested, however I wasn't dressed as a cowgirl so that wouldn't fly. Ended up being a late night with some drinking involved.
Sat - Post friday Bender always leads to a greasy spoon experience. And conveniently located around the corner from my place is a excellent one. Ended up at Stampede in the afternoon experiencing the atmosphere and sights. Wasn't feeling so hot so bailed when Nev decided to sport the assless chaps. But apparently the chuckwagon races were excellent from what the Nev-ster recounted.
Sun - Exploring Stephen Ave. in the morning with Nev. Ended up at MEC (which is way too close to me <15 min). Thankfully only bought a cycling jersey and shorts at Coast Mountain. Dangerous place for toys. |

Friday Jul 6 |
| Running 35:00 [3] | |
| |
| 6AM run since it was really cool out. Didn't feel spectacular but was a nice morning. Not sure if i'll get use to all the paved paths in this city. Better for biking than running. |
| Note | |
| |
| LRT was overly packed southbound into the city due to the Stampede Parade - alarming number of cowboy hats this morning! While I would have liked to gone for interest, didn't think a no show at a welcome new guy/goodbye other guy party at 11AM would go over well. |

| Chilli cookoff day at the university for Stampede. Pretty tasty. Decided it was too hot for a pavement pounding session today. Proably could have cooked eggs on the asphalt till 10PM last night. Sweatfest in the apartment. |
Wednesday Jul 4 |
| Cycling 40:00 [2] | |
| |
| Out and back on the Bow. Was crusing on the way out, then realized that i had a tailwind when i turned around. Got smoked by a couple of clydesdales. Must blast my puny legs like Zoolander. |

Sunday Jul 1 |
| Running 45:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Brooks Axiom 2 (Green) |
| Run on the Bow. Too bad all the trails in the city have to be paved. A lot of athletic (and attractive) people in this city. Still having some foot problems, will have to get that checked out in the next few months. |
