WE RAN 40 MINUTES TODAY! Oh my goodness. We haven't run for 3 weeks (we walked twice in that time) because of illnesses and injuries, but today was our first day back running! We did 3 minutes running/ 2 minutes walking, 7km in total. We pushed our last repetition and did 4 minutes of running, to round it out to 40 minutes. So in our rounds, we did 40 running, 26 walking, and then just walked the last bit!

This is the first time that I'd forget I was running. Usually I feel every step I take... and we did it in the snow! It was snowing the entire time. We are both soaking wet.

I'm about to do yoga, then shower, eat and off to work! Naomi and Nico are going to a Christmas play with me tonight. Busy day!



They say mass amounts of chocolate is as good as sex.. I say running is.. the euphoric feeling I get afterwards is incredible.

Homeless wish list

and the actual lists..


“I lead a pretty simple life. I don’t have a lot of needs,” says Green, who adds that he doesn’t hold out much hope of getting his wish. “Christmas is just another day out here — it’s not a big deal.” Although Green has not celebrated Christmas in eight years, he stands a much better chance of getting a gift this year, thanks to an online wish list for homeless and low-income people across the city. The website, HomelessVancouver.com, shares the personal stories and requests of homeless people in Vancouver, North Vancouver and New Westminster. Green came to Vancouver six years ago after getting laid off from a job loading trucks in Ontario. He is now addicted to crack cocaine, receives no social assistance, and lives off the money he makes returning bottles and cans. Green’s hope for a waterproof sleeping bag is shared by many on the Homeless Vancouver website. Other frequent requests include socks, bus tickets, flashlights and batteries. article here
