Wednesday quickie

Just got home from running club - okay, so we're really a drinking group that has a running problem! There may have been beer involved...
Got up bright and early and into work at 6:35 (yes, AM), so that I could be primed and ready to register for Melissa's, which went on sale at 7 (and they meant it!!!). OMG, what a lesson in frustration that was! Almost an hour just to get myself registered, and then another 30 or so minutes to get H-woman in...the Running Room site crashed, the Melissa's site crashed...it was chaos. But good news (and I persevere!) is we both got into the 22km, and have already got the condo booked in Canmore for the weekend. Bring it on!
Food was good today, although since I was up so early, and I'm really not awake at that time of day, I didn't make breakfast or lunch this morning (and we ate out last night). So breakfast was an egg/sausage burrito w/salsa and lunch was a really nice chicken mango salad. Loads of veggies.
I did my hills at lunch today, as I wanted to go listen to Sylvia Ruegger speak at the Kensington Running Room. If you don't know her name, she came in 8th (she is Canadian) at the '84 LA Olympics in the marathon, the first year the IOC allowed women to run longer than 1500 meters! That was after RUNNING ONE MARATHON TO QUALIFY!!!! Yikes! Then she ran the Houston Marathon and won, and her time of 2:28:36 still stands as the fastest time for a Canadian woman...25 years later!!! She was quite inspiring, and a really engaging speaker. Spoke about goal setting (in 1976 at 15 years of age, she wrote on a piece of paper that she would represent Canada in the Olympics - she still has the piece of paper today), perseverance and hope. Glad I did hills at lunch to listen to her. We did run to and from Kensington, at a steady pace, and on the way back, I kept up to Garrath (granted he was running very slowly for him) and the rest of the group easily. Then watched Canada win GOLD and SILVER in woman's bobsled (YEAH BABY!!), before having a pint with the gang. Also celebrated Canada's defeat of Russia in hockey, Clara Hughes getting one more medal before retiring and the women's short-track relay team get silver. Good day for Canada!
Home now, and shortly to bed. Just have to floss and brush. Haven't missed a single night of flossing since January 12, 2009. Just saying...
GO CANADA GO!!
