Haligonian dad working in HR. Runs for fun. Hates waiting for the bill at restaurants. Uncomfortably literal.

I’m in Toronto right now. Last night, I walked past Maple Leafs Square and saw thousands of fans gathered outside—once again—only to be let down by this cursed team. I have zero regrets about my decision to stop following hockey and rooting for the Leafs. The ending was just so predictable.

Only $50k is non refundable so far on the payment schedule. We’ll see if she is still hanging out on Feb 8. I doubt it.

No. This cost him $0. Anyone who dropped out by today got their refundable $50k deposit back. He was never serious. Just looking for free publicity.

Because the only properly dimensioned 200m indoor synthetic track in NS is part of a multi-use recreation centre, the sports it was built for (athletics/running) are often squeezed by walkers. If the Canada Games Centre track was specifically designed for walking, would be grossly over engineered.

It’s Day 7 of the Christmas Marathon I’m now up to almost 87km distance travelled by foot since Dec 24. I started the day with a swim but won’t count that, and finished off with BLT Runners #monrun. #BLTRXmas42

It’s Day 6 of the BLT Runners Christmas Marathon challenge and I’m up to 76.45 km distance travelled since Dec 24. Today was supposed to be the make-up date for our club hosted Miracle Mile (originally for Dec 24) but again the weather didn’t cooperate with ice patches on the trail. #BLTRXmas42

Also conveniently timed right after municipal elections and the US presidential election and during a postal strike, no less! Voter information was only available on a website that wasn’t optimized for mobile, even though that’s how most would access. To top it off, crashed on election day! #nspoli
