Ziky-Zaky-Ziky-Zaky-Oy! Oy! Oy!

Oktoberfest!! First things first, a busy day at work, with a small interlude before our Oktoberfest festivities. The challenge was there about the whole walk thing. I was tired after work. Had things to do before going out for the evening. But still, got myself out the door and did the 12 block walk through…

Walking Walking

Today was a long 9 block walk from the Running Room home. 9 blocks doesn’t sound long, but it’s the long side of an Edmonton block AND I had a backpack AND a heavy bag to carry AND I was wearing my winter coat, so I built up some heat and hopefully burned a few…

Groceries

A 14 block walk to get groceries this evening. Don’t worry, I had Michael to carry the groceries home. I think we have to pick up the pace of our walk though. We seem to stroll, and don’t even break a sweat. Oh well. At least we are outside!

Again

14 blocks. The extra two blocks were to fetch a tea things. Beginning to understand that “tea things” are counter-acting the benefits of the walk.

Gym Farm Neighbourhood

A busy day at the gym… out to the farm…. and back in town for dinner at our new favourite pub. The walk today was around the block – M and I are both exhausted and are looking forward to a cup of tea, TV, and snuggling up on the couch.

Hunt for Provisions

14 blocks in the neighbourhood.  Ended up at Wild Earth and picked up two of the best steaks we’ve ever eaten. Of course, this was after cooking, just in case you thought we picked them up and ate them there in the store. One does need to be careful these days in what they say.

Save On Foods

You know you get those little key tags that the cashiers zap and you miraculously save money? Well, because I’m driving a rental car, I don’t carry my regular keys with me. The keys with the Save On tag. I didn’t even consider it until I was in line, and I looked desperately at the…

Beer Beer Beer

A very long haul in the walking world today. Departed Canada Place, west along Jasper, south on 107th Street, through the Legislative grounds, across the High Level bridge, and West into the Sugar Bowl. September 24, and we’re still sitting on the patio! Three beers later and after a ton of conversation, it was back…

Same Old

12 blocks. Didn’t want to. But did.
