Fleeing from the Dawn of the Living Dead…

I was downtown Edmonton at Enbridge Pipelines, disconnecting and bagging computers today pending a move and I am lucky to have gotten out of there alive! Everyone on the floor was a zombie, with hatchet marks and other boils and gross festering wounds on their faces just like the human flesh eating dead zombies [...]

Run 89, 2008 – I just don’t get it…

I considered running again today and almost canceled because my knee wasn’t feeling all that great. But then I decided that maybe I’d slap a knee brace on like last time only this time I would go slow. Turns out I had a great 11 km run with a 6:42 pace. I [...]

Run 88, 2008 …my IT band is still on strike…

Another 11 km which started out famously at a 6:40 pace until km 6 then I completely fell aprt in spite of the fact that I was wearing a knee brace. It is very discouraging, especially after a week break from running. My doctor’s appointment is not until Nov. 10th, but I will [...]

Karate 66 – Training for the Devon Tournament

Karate 65

Tonight’s class was preparation for the katas in the upcoming tournament but no sparring. Marilyn crawled back from the dead and managed to stick it out in class after a nasty bout with the flu but she was still a snotty nosed little brat, ha ha! We’ll see if she reads my blog [...]

Update on my current physical and mental condition…

My running has improved a whole lot but I am currently “hamstrung” by an unknown knee problem. I have an appointment to have it checked out Nov. 10th. This is to rule out anything serious and maybe to get a physio referral. I am quite sure that it is an IT band [...]
