Thanks man!

[Gourou]

For Gourou:

Dang, Carrie beat me to it Steve! Congrats on the successful procedure!

Thanks Carrie and Chris

[Gourou]

The surgery was successfull!

I went for my post-op appointment this morning and I have 20/20 vision in both eyes. Optometrist said they don't see this very often

I should have done this waaayyyyy sooner..This is AWESOME!

Have a great weekend everyone!

P.S: Chris I think this deserves some dancing bananas! lol

Congratulations! I'm trying to get up the nerve to do this!

Do it. you won't regret it.
PM me if you have any questions. It would be my pleasure to answer them

Steve, great news!!

You can certainly feel the Olympic buzz here. Flags are flying and everyone seems to be wearing some type of RED and WHITE. I have to admit it's pretty cool.

No run for me today as our LSD has been changed to tomorrow rather than Sunday so I'm giving my legs a rest after last night's training (which ROCKED).
Tomorrow is a 10 miler with the last 3 miles to be run at 1/2 marathon race pace. Should be fun.

I was watching the Olympic coverage when I was at the gym at lunch. Who was the elderly guy carrying the torch on the zamboni? I couldn't hear the TV well as The View was on the other TV. I just heard he was 92 and was important in "this community". Not sure if they were referring to Vancouver or the sporting community. He looked happy!

I did 30 minutes of strength work.

Do it Sandra! I just recently celebrated 10 years glasses free and it is so worth it. i almost can't remember what it felt like to wear glasses!

Things should be exciting in Vancouver today! Are some maniacs going to the opening Ceremony?

I'm watching it at one of the LiveCity locations!

My Vancouver morning:

It was fate, perhaps... I did a bit of yoga, then eventually left home, missing my bus to the Seabus. But just as I was walking down, giving up and figuring I'd be on the next one, 15 mins later, a bus came by, so I made the Seabus with 20 seconds to spare. I was walking to work, and had decided to go up to the Tim Horton's on Dunsmuir, when I saw "stuff" going on, and it turns out, I'd run into the torch relay. Then I bumped into someone from work, and we got moved off the road and stuck in a spot, and the torch flame was exchanged RIGHT in front of us. I got some great video.

Working for a while today. Hardly anyone is here. Then off to meet folks... and enjoy the buzz.

I was looking for you when it was going down (up?) Burrard! I didn't see you.

LOL. I was on Pender.

[RA.]

Now that I look at a map, Burrard isn't near your work. I got my streets mixed up.

It's not far. I met it at Richards and Pender, I think it was (wasn't really paying attention).

[bruyere]

Oh, and about that running thing...

It didn't happen last night, because I decided to wait out the Seabus closure by going for a drink and a bite with my coworker. Then I just did my housework and stuff. Was going to run this morning, but I did some yoga instead. I'll be on the trails for 4 or 5 hours tomorrow, so I figure it doesn't really matter.

That is so cool !!!

No running for me today, I have a sore foot, I think it is my metatarsal (sp?). I am bummed because my running has been going really well lately. I have been icing it and trying to stay off my feet, but that's really difficult. Now I'm going to go and make a birthday cake for my daughter. She's coming home from university for the weekend and we're celebrating her 19th birthday, can't wait

[ultraslacker]

I was going to run today and rest tomorrow, but I've decided to switch it because I'm feeling lazy today. :)

Instead, off to the RMT and then shopping and errands. :)

[VeloCarrie]

14.54 km run to work this morning in 1:32:04 (6:19 min/km). Day 150 of my streak.

Holy cr@p!

I'm touched. Especially coming from the incredible Carrie herself.

7km done around lunchtime today. Now I'm getting in a fast sit'n'go before I head off for my shift this afternoon.

Have a great weekend everyone!

[b_squared]

a nice 8k done at lunch.
Have a great weekend.

Jsmitty - a very tough thing you did (but sounds like the right thing). You might not be understood by the people involved, but good for you.

Gourou - Yay! Congrats. My sister also says it was the best thing she ever did.

Oh, and the running thing... rest day for me. I am aching from my core class last night.
