| Easy ride. Morning had to wait around for my couch to arrive and helped Dave move his shed this afternoon. Grabbed lunch in Eau Claire on the patio for bugers and beer. Tasty. |

| Was reading the paper for the first time in a few weeks. Front headline "Stelmach tells other provinces don't mess with Alberta" in terms of climate change policy. Ah yes...oil and gas and good old Alberta spirit! Guess not much has changed in few weeks.
Someone asked me recently, why don't you work for the oil industry since you have the background. Sure, if I want to sell my soul to the devil. Spent 2-years restoring impacted areas related to climate change. I'm not going help dig up stuff nor do i want part in an industry and spin offs that likely does the bare minimum to get assessments passed. Could probably make a shit load of money but at the end of the day i like to sleep well and would rather be poor and happy.
On another note, house prices rising still here over an average of 500K. Rent is still soaring. If this keeps up i'll be living in a box in a year. This city has to cool off one of these days. Its nuts! |

| Tried to go as fast as my body would allow. Botched the 2nd control and hesitant within the residences (~1 min total in errors). Otherwise was smooth the rest of the way. Markg had the top time to beat with 12 and change. I was 15 and change. Didnt' know it was NA sprint points event.
In general, I don't have the step like I use to and the right leg is definately feeling it. Went to the running injury clinic and will probably sign up for an assessment but waiting time is quite backed up;( |

| Started off sluggish since i knew i was tired but 1/4 thru got some life and picked it up. 3-4 on the I scale. Some river, stairs, escarpment, hills. All in a days work. Finally got someone to try Ethiopian with me tonight! Pretty stoked about that. |

| Wanted to get a run in before these severe t-storms rolled in. Was getting pretty dark in the area but rolled the dice hoping not to get caught in it. Luckily managed to out run it since it started to pour once i got home! Cagampan 1, Weather 0. Felt great running, wish i could have made it a longer one. |

| Bow-Nose Hill Creek Pathways then took cycling routes through the city home. Got lost in Beddington Hills where every street in all these massive communities have to be named Bed-something and another. That and they were paving at 8:30 in the morning on Sun. Time to check out the Heartland Cafe down the street. |
