Skiing with Pascal and Jon at Whistler. My IT band was not happy, leading to some interesting compensation, resulting in a lot of calf and quad pain.... Or maybe I'm just unfit. It was a beautiful day with nice snow and the lines weren't too crazy.

I know it's pathetic, and I did consider not logging, but I figured I need to keep a log... physio-prescribed running. 30 seconds on, 4.5 minutes off. It was freeking cold, but since nothing hurt I get to ramp up to 1 minute on and 4 minutes off on Friday! Woot!

To wotk at Women's hospital. Daydreaming and missed the turn for Heather St, so ended up cycling up Yukon and across.... Felt way better than last week. Physio Evelyn says I can start running again, but only on trails, no pavement. Yay!

Home from work.

This is an example of the wonderful people I deal with at work. Right now I'm at BC Women's Hospital every 2nd day to work. This is the conversation that took place today.

Colleague: Oh, I went to a spin class last night.
Me: Cool! Where?
Colleague: At Hillcrest Community Centre, you know, by Nat Bailey Stadium.
Me: It's really nice there.
Colleague: Yeah, pain to get there though. I had to get the #17, then the #99 to Main, and a bus. I was late for my class.
Me: Is Hillcrest not just a short walk from here? I'm sure it's not too far. *We look up google maps*
Me: Look, google says it's only a 20 minute walk, but it usually over estimates, so it'll take 15 minutes or so. Or you could walk to Cambie and 29th and get on the 33 (for literally 2 blocks).
Colleague: No, that looks too far. I'll just leave work earlier to get there on time.

I stopped talking after that... it was probably for the best.
