Time to make big changes in my life with lots of work to do in a short amount of time! I've never backed down from a challenge and I don't intend on doing so now!

On October 13, 2009 I submitted my application to join the Canadian Armed Forces as a Regular Force member. Basic Military Qualifications (BMQ) is scheduled for end of August, 2010.


Up & Running

Best $110 I ever spent...

I wonder how many entries I can come up with that start out with “The Best $$$ I ever spent…”!!?!?!

However, today I really mean it. Back in January I had originally scheduled a running assessement to be done but the accident pushed that back. When I was finally able to run decently, I developed bronchitis. [...]

T-14, The best $150 I ever spent

Today I woke up bright and early to go for my morning run. However, my shins ached and it wasn’t comfortable. (And then someone stole my bag, but that’s another story)… I was a bit concerned feeling them the second day in the row running outdoors so I decided to do something about it.

I went [...]

T-15, Need...more....time!

These days I am absolutely swamped. I wish more than anything I could take a vacation but instead, I am SWAMPED with work…. at work, at home and with freelance work with two clients at the same time. When it rains, it pours. But, this is good because I am totally cash-strapped at the moment [...]

T-16, Busy!

Gosh, I’ve got not much time to write these days, let alone go to the gym! A sudden surge in work just prior to leaving is both a god-send and a nightmare.

There’s a lot of things I wanted to write here too before I leave but slowly (or quickly!) time is running out.  There’s a [...]

T-19, Like running through water

Today I decided to go for a run. My running is sucking big time and I wished I hadn’t lost all my training days this year and wished I could have taken advantage of those missed workouts right now. But, I can’t ‘oh woe is me’ right now. No time for that shit.

Anyways, I began [...]

TWENTY DAYS LEFT!

Holy crap. I’ll be giving myself an ulcer every time I realise how close I am to what I am going to be doing! It’s exciting and scary all at the same time.

Yikes.

Today I was going to head to the gym and then do a swim when I realise, naaaaaaaah!!

Instead, I’ll be heading up to [...]

T-27, Four weeks from now…

Four weeks from now I will be driving down a highway passing through my old communities waving good-bye to my family along the way and heading to Quebec and finding myself at the Saint-Jean megaplex fortress where I’ll be walking through The Green Door.

The Green Door is where all new recruits to Saint-Jean pass through [...]

T-40, Three big disappointments & a holy crap!

Just a few thingsto go over today — it’s the weekend, I’ve got three weeks of readings to catch up on, start my packing for the big move, a bit of cleaning and finally, get my arse to the gym!

I’ve had three regrets from this summer and hate living a life of regret. The first [...]

T -56, It was a Meh-Day…not to be confused with May Day!

Today I woke up as a normally do however, it was after an abnormal sleep of almost 12 hours! After I got home yesterday, I just felt wiped. I slept on the couch from about 7pm until midnight, and finished the night in my bed. School and homework and work and working out, caught up [...]

T -57 days, Bouncy World

Today for my run I decided to do some speed training.  I didn’t do a lot of distance (maybe 1500 metres in total?) but the first couple of runs, I went from lamp-post to lamp-post, at a faster run. I’m thinking that my speed went from (sorry, I have to use MPH for this part [...]
