I hate the gym with a passion, I try my hardest not to go to the gym, so naturally I have been bummed out by how unusually stormy it has been in Vancouver lately. Last night I come up with the brilliant ideal of running up and down our 12 stories apartment building stairs for a workout.
First of all I do not like “climbing” of any kind I would rather walk an extra mile to get to point “A” than climb a little hill to get there. Secondly I do not think I get the same workout on a treadmill as I do outdoor.
Delusional? Whatever, I live in my own special world anyway.
My stairs workout, while good did not meet the goal I set for myself, my sister ended up laughing so hard at my initial goal as she asked – You just said “up and down 10times” just for my sake right? This was after the fifth set when I was huffing and puffing with complains of my legs shaking.
This afternoon, the clouds parted a bit, the sun is fighting to shine and my spirit is lifted, I am in love with my city again. I cannot wait to get off work, and then I remembered I am set to meet these two Internet buds at an event this afternoon an indoor event :-)
Sorry guys, I know I am being selfish since you both have to be at this event and I don’t but I would rather go out running.
My mental health and my diabetes really need me to run outdoors the way God intended me to run. Besides just take a look at how beautiful the neighbourhood is when it is not raining who can resist.
Hope you understand since “they” are calling for storms again.
Out here in “workvile”, it snowed pretty much all morning now it looks like freezing rain. You guessed it…. I am so looking forward to my drive home. I friend who drove in late afternoon from Washington State said it was about 60 degrees over there. She said it was just drizzling and windy in Blain Washington, soon after crossing the boarder it was snow everywhere.
Braking News ----- Downtown Vancouver, BC Place dome collapsed shortly after noon local time today, below are some pictures.
Have a great weekend.
