Marathon Update… We did it!

1 Sleep to go
I can’t imagine I’ll get much sleep tonight, but I’m going to try. My parents get into town today, and I’m going for a big pasta dinner at my Uncle Bill’s and Auntie Joanne’s house tonight.

Something to Celebrate!
I wasn’t going to mention anything about my job search until, of course, the search was over. (I didn’t want to jinx it!) Now at last, I can stop searching! I’m ecstatic! I don’t have to sit in front of the computer all day, looking at every on-line job site known to man, nervous as […]

Marathon, here I come!
Well, from the title of the post, you might have guessed it. I am training, with my brother Jordan, to run the Vancouver Marathon. Check out our marathon blog, too, while you’re at it! We have been training since January 2nd, on a very strict schedule. That first day of running was one to remember! […]
