Managed to finish my 27th parkrun and volunteer wise 84 so racking up more #volunteering credits than participation but that’s ok. Hoping to get back to it more regularly.

The budget was tabled yesterday for 🇨🇦 and as a public servant there could be a quick exit or a call to an election. At this point I’m not sure what will happen given there could be a no confidence vote. How I feel! 🙃

Well this was a bit of a wake up call when I went to put the USB dongle in and saw that it was missing the metal jacket. Oh it’s still in the laptop! 😳 I’d love a pair of needle nose pliers right about now and some gorilla glue 🫣

Last time we travelled in February we did not mask and we all got sick. Not COVID but not taking any chances these days. Fall weather, Flu, RSV who knows? We may be the only ones 😷

Good Morning Gatineau!
In office day and thankful we had at least one day of rain but the valley could use more. Hoping this will bring out the fall colours next few weeks. There I said it. #LabourDayWeekend

#TBT to the Canada Day Road Race in Kanata.
Ok time. Not my best but as they say showing up is half the battle. Let alone the humidity of the race. Heavy air and humid.

When you think #bodypositivity this is probably not the image you would go to as a lot of posts focus on women. I’m here to tell you that this #DadBod supported the team and did 9 laps for almost 34K

Here are some of the race photos from the trail race with my own personal commentary. Sometimes you need to look past the actual photo to the trail running experience.
