The Busy Period is Almost Over

March 2nd, 2011

I won't lie, it's been a shit show for about 6 weeks from the time I left for Vegas for my stag in late January, to now in early March.  Managed to sell a condo, go to Vegas, quit my job, start my new job, move out of condo the day before leaving to our wedding in Dominican Republic, spend a week on the beach (sounds great, was great, but also lots of 'gistics when bringing alot of people along), return and 2 days later have a large Chinese banquet, 2 days later get Uhaul, pack up life for second time, try to move but ferry is shut down due to winds for most of the day, eventually move to Vancouver Island (like a dream), start a *new* job, and settle into my first ever home.  Whirlwind!



Feeling really positive these days though, so many great changes happening in life and loving  the steps forward.  It's time to really dig down and get training harder for Ironman Canada now, no more 'going through the motions'.

Back from the Beach, and Married!

What an awesome week away with my fiance-now-wife and our families and friends.  There is nothing like having good people together and I can't thank everyone enough who made the effort to come down. 











Training-wise, I managed to get in a couple treadmill runs and an outdoor run with my brother and Sly Bri.  The outdoor run was an hour before I got married (nerves?), just to lace them up on my wedding day!  We ventured out the gated community of the resort and were followed by a black suburban, pretty sure it was just hotel security but who knows.  Had to turn back partway through a shanty town when a stray dog decided to chase three very pasty dudes.  Back in time to barely shower, get ready for the wedding, and walk over to the ceremony, I'd have it no other way!
