I hail from the frigid Northlands.
Mainly post about running, strength training, being outdoors, and I share pictures of food unapologetically.
Next up - Spartan Trifecta?
I love tacos and coffee equally.

My dad has been to Scotland, and he mailed me a box of tartans. I especially love the snood and the special message on it. I will be warm and cosy on my travels!

Took the beast for a run last night. I noticed I lost a lot of the momentum I had going. It's wild how fast I went from running 10k to being winded by 5k, but my schedule is sorted now and the consistency will return.
I'll use training the dog as an excuse for the shorter distances. 😅

We're getting back on track with healthy eating over here. Here's what I made: walnut-covered pork tenderloins, chestnut mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and spinach with a homemade spicy balsamic sauce.
Leftover lunch packed. I must resist when my coworkers go for lunch tacos.

Weird stuff I inherited when my parents split up and sold the house: a set of Canadian Olympic coins from 1976.
I'm so bummed I wasn't alive then to experience the penny-farthing race. (I can't find any evidence that actually happened, but I choose to believe)

One of the last things we spoke of was our travels to the Baltics. I was in Riga for Lāčplēsis Diena years ago. Placing my candle with the others was an honour. I wanted to light one outside for my friend but the weather is awful. Here it is inside.
I'm at a point where I can smile when I remember.

I know it's too early, but I went to a cool Christmas market today in a greenhouse. My family is lucky it was cold and I had to park far away because I would have brought home even more plants. I did get hot chocolate bombs, which I'm enjoying now as it rains ice outside.

I'm the Queen of Stupid Injuries. A couple of weeks ago I decided to take the annuals out of the garden with my bare hands, got a deep splinter of course, and have been growling about it. My husband got fed up and dug it out this morning. IT SUCKED but I can go rock climbing again! Yeah!

Today is the one year anniversary of the last time I meaningfully spoke with my best bud. I keep rereading our last messages. I didn't even properly say goodbye, just 'Talk to you soon!' Later on he sent me a poem he wrote and I told him it was cool, but never asked what it meant. I wish I had.

Here I sit in the office, receiving notifications on my phone from my 3D printer that my husband is printing a fleet of Borg cubes.

I feel burnt out. The RTO has thrown me off. Not just the extra time in the office - increased traffic means my drive home time has doubled in the last months. I'm not managing my workouts, home cooking, running, mental health, housework.
I'm going to take an internet break till I'm sorted.

Oh no the American Health Care system knows where I live!
For the record I did pay this off last week, so I no longer have medical debt in the US. I'm still not sure why my insurance company is being so obstinate about not paying it. That's right, dealing with the insurance co sucks in Canada, too.

I took the beast for a run today. He made it about 3.5km before he had enough of it, but we still walked another 2.5 after that where he got to sniff.
We saw a hawk(?) and the hawk saw us. It was giant. Fortunately my dog isn't snack-sized.

The pain in my heel is still problematic, but seems to be getting better. It feels like something on the bottom of my foot is too tight and pulls if I move in just the wrong way. I'll still try a light jog with the dog today. I need to burn off some of those mini candy bars.

We got so few trick or treaters this year! Were my dolls to scary? No, I'm sure it was the bad weather.

I would like to apologize to the people who follow me for running. I strained an intrinsic foot muscle at the gym and can't do any ankle flexion or heavy lifting for a week. You're stuck with pictures of me making antlers for dolls for another day or so. 😄

I finished painting my first antler this morning. It's not perfect for sure, but I'm happy with how it looks overall, especially the dry brushing. I'll keep working on the blending.
One lesson learned - less coffee before doing stuff that requires a steady hand.

I put a coat of primer on the antlers, and will finish painting them tomorrow. I also wrecked a bunch of dolls dresses which was fun, but also gave me an unanticipated sense of sadness for destroying these symbols of childhood innocence.

Let the Halloween decorating begin! Me and my daughter, the mini Tim Burton, are expanding our creepy playground so we needed more dolls. Leaving Value Village with these in my arms was oddly empowering - I was the least likely person in Ottawa to be jumped in a parking lot that night.

It's time to rethink my strength training schedule. I got RTO'd and work's ramped up - lunch hour classes aren't happening 3 days a week like they used to. I need something flexible and self-directed that I can get into without hurting myself. (Olympic weight lifting is out... for now.)

I woke up with a song in my head from a movie I saw as a kid in the 80s or 90s. It was sung by a guy dressed like a cowboy about how he was not a actually a cowboy. It took some digging but it's Robert Picardo from Innerspace. I forgot that movie existed for 30 years! Gonna give it a watch tonight.

I still had almost all my favourite toys from childhood, except my old Battle Cat, who was lost some years ago. Thanks to my good friends at East Coast Toys and Games, I've got him again!
I have some good candidates from the 80s/90s toybox for my 3D scanner and printer now.
