What a weekend!

Drinking in the boss' office
Well, this was certainly an interesting weekend. Started off by tormenting one of my bosses who was off for the day. Me and a coworker took a couple shots of us "drinking" his scotch in the office and then texted them to him at 10am asking if it was too soon to start drinking. His response BASTARDS! Use a glass.

I then went for a beer with these same people before meeting up with someone I met online for a date (and that's all I'm going to say about that, except I hope we can figure it out to meet up again).

Saturday was long bike day. Started with two brunches though, yes, two, both with eggs! Yes that is also a shark in the back ground of this picture. We like to get to Little Nest when it opens to steal all of the kids toys so we can play with them at our table. Great food if you've never been then, you can get vegan and gluten free options, but more the brownies, muffins, etc (which, really is also amazing). The staff is pretty fun as well!

After I left the first group went and had second brunch! Yes, more eggs. After that I did manage to do about 40kms on the bike (without the padded shorts, sore today) through Vancouver streets. Love Ontario with the new bike, fun! I had to post this picture online yesterday to torture my friends/family on the east coast, they just got another dumping of snow on the weekend, while I was out in my ride. A ton of people out Saturday (many more on Sunday).

Saturday I continued my carb-loading with beer with a friend on the Drive. Mmmmmm, blonde beers are very tasty. The Dime had a great beet, peacan, goat cheese salad as well, but, alas, I'm getting too old for the clubs. My friend and I (she's also my age) bitched the entire time about how loud it was and that we couldn't hear each other. We're the first one each other will call though to go out for a night of dancing, so explain that!

Sunday morning came pretty fast and so did the 32km run! WHAT THE FUCK! I ran 32km today! Yes, I actually walked around the rest of the day saying to myself, HOLY FUCK! I RAN 32KM TODAY! The furthest I ran before that was 26km. I missed both of the 29km runs due to a triathlon and then half marathon race (consecutive weekends) so I was a tad worried how I would do today (apparently not that worried, I was drinking beers the night before). Except for the toe, it was fantastic! I felt great during, finished off strong, we finished in 4 hours 1 minute. I was hoping 4 hours but thought it was a long shot. My foot and toe is currently taped up, feels better but around the 14km marker to the 24km marker I was in a lot of pain, hard to run, walk, anything. The toe went numb, I could barely feel it and all was right with the world! Today we ran through 6 or 7 neighbourhoods, through 3 film sets, through or around 2 parks, passed a couple beaches, through a university, across the finish line and back to the store. My GPS said we did 32.06 kms, my friend's said almost 34 or 35 but I think there's something wrong with the iPhone GPS :)

Whatever it was, it was over 32km!!! I ran that today! Incredible!!
