Getting into the Swing of Winter

Sorry for not posting anything for a while, I've been busy cranking out lots of artwork lately. Also been trying to get into the swing/mood for winter, lol which I just have NOT been in the mood for. Early winter kind of puts me in a "Blah" sort of mood, feeling lazy, sleeping in late, that sort of thing. I was still very much in a enjoying the end of summer and Fall sort of mood, winter again slammed on us in one day! Right after a couple of days of some light freezing rain to boot. With that making for dangerously slippery side walks, running and walking is something one does very carefully on that type of surface. Almost slipped a few times. For the most part the river trail is OK but there are a few patches like underneath the St. Boniface Bridge that are just pure ice... lol Nasty!! Y' have to walk around those unless you feel like going for a good skate. ;)

I watched Supernatural this weekend and laughed my ass off so hard when the Teddy Bear blew the stuffing out of his head... I just had to make a design of that for T-shirts, coffee mugs etc.

Bike Ride Today

Well today looks like it might actually be nice weather today, very similar to yesterday. I expect we're in for very few left like this as I notice in the mornings the puddles are iced over.
After the mail had arrived I went out for a walk to one of my favorite coffee houses called "the Mondragon" located in the Exchange district yesterday afternoon, after coffee and a really nice slice of their Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cheesecake I figured I'd take a walk to the Forks Market to pick up some bread before heading home. As I was walking I thought to myself, "What a really nice day... I should have gone for a bike ride if i had known it was going to be this nice out!"
Well today looks like it's going to be the same way, nice and sunny, not too cold, no rain and all my favorite trails will be nice and dry from having a good few days without rain. So I'll probably go for a run first, take a shower and then after mail has arrived go out for a bike ride. Lol that should work off some of the junk I've been eating lately lol... too many good horror movies on TV lately and I love my snacks with a good movie ;)

Because of the Rain

I went out for an extra long run today down my Fort Gibralter route because yesterday it was raining all day and I was on my butt in front of the computer working on a new design for my online products sites like Cafe Press, Printfection and Zazzle, so I figured I needed the extra long run today to make up for not going out yesterday.

I didn't eat properly yesterday either so I sure felt the impact of that on top of an extra long run, by the time I was about half way there I started to feel a little drained of energy. It's true what they say about a proper diet & exercise, if you've ever done that, gone out for a really long walk or run the day after eating nothing but crap all day before you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. But I managed to push myself through the whole route. I think after lunch I'll take a walk to the Forks... Hmmm or better still take a lunch with me and eat it down at the Forks Boat Dock... now there is a simply smashing idea ;)

New Navy Blue CWX Tights

Ah this today was a nice and sunny fall morning to go out for a run in my new Navy Blue CWX running tights which arrived in the mail yesterday. Very nice, they feel great.

... I still think CWX are the best tights, extremly good quality and durable construction. I don't think I've hada pair wear out yet! My oldest pair is going on two years now and they still seem like new. I think it part it might be how you take care of them as I hand wash them in a mild soap which might be key???... In anyeven they are a damd good make!! I get mine online at Coolfit.com.
