I hail from the frigid Northlands.
Mainly post about running, strength training, being outdoors, and I share pictures of food unapologetically.
Next up - Spartan Trifecta?
I love tacos and coffee equally.

Today is the one year anniversary of the last time I meaningfully spoke with my best bud. I keep rereading our last messages. I didn't even properly say goodbye, just 'Talk to you soon!' Later on he sent me a poem he wrote and I told him it was cool, but never asked what it meant. I wish I had.

Here I sit in the office, receiving notifications on my phone from my 3D printer that my husband is printing a fleet of Borg cubes.

I feel burnt out. The RTO has thrown me off. Not just the extra time in the office - increased traffic means my drive home time has doubled in the last months. I'm not managing my workouts, home cooking, running, mental health, housework.
I'm going to take an internet break till I'm sorted.

Oh no the American Health Care system knows where I live!
For the record I did pay this off last week, so I no longer have medical debt in the US. I'm still not sure why my insurance company is being so obstinate about not paying it. That's right, dealing with the insurance co sucks in Canada, too.

I took the beast for a run today. He made it about 3.5km before he had enough of it, but we still walked another 2.5 after that where he got to sniff.
We saw a hawk(?) and the hawk saw us. It was giant. Fortunately my dog isn't snack-sized.

The pain in my heel is still problematic, but seems to be getting better. It feels like something on the bottom of my foot is too tight and pulls if I move in just the wrong way. I'll still try a light jog with the dog today. I need to burn off some of those mini candy bars.

We got so few trick or treaters this year! Were my dolls to scary? No, I'm sure it was the bad weather.

I would like to apologize to the people who follow me for running. I strained an intrinsic foot muscle at the gym and can't do any ankle flexion or heavy lifting for a week. You're stuck with pictures of me making antlers for dolls for another day or so. 😄

I finished painting my first antler this morning. It's not perfect for sure, but I'm happy with how it looks overall, especially the dry brushing. I'll keep working on the blending.
One lesson learned - less coffee before doing stuff that requires a steady hand.

I put a coat of primer on the antlers, and will finish painting them tomorrow. I also wrecked a bunch of dolls dresses which was fun, but also gave me an unanticipated sense of sadness for destroying these symbols of childhood innocence.

Let the Halloween decorating begin! Me and my daughter, the mini Tim Burton, are expanding our creepy playground so we needed more dolls. Leaving Value Village with these in my arms was oddly empowering - I was the least likely person in Ottawa to be jumped in a parking lot that night.

It's time to rethink my strength training schedule. I got RTO'd and work's ramped up - lunch hour classes aren't happening 3 days a week like they used to. I need something flexible and self-directed that I can get into without hurting myself. (Olympic weight lifting is out... for now.)

I woke up with a song in my head from a movie I saw as a kid in the 80s or 90s. It was sung by a guy dressed like a cowboy about how he was not a actually a cowboy. It took some digging but it's Robert Picardo from Innerspace. I forgot that movie existed for 30 years! Gonna give it a watch tonight.

I still had almost all my favourite toys from childhood, except my old Battle Cat, who was lost some years ago. Thanks to my good friends at East Coast Toys and Games, I've got him again!
I have some good candidates from the 80s/90s toybox for my 3D scanner and printer now.

I caught a Red Hot Chilli Peppers cover band called Funky Monks yesterday at Overflow Brewery here in #Ottawa. They were FANTASTIC. I don't get out to see bands anywhere near as much as I should.
Picture is from the opening act Hedonic who were also excellent.

When I was in Washington DC there was a city-wide bike ride. I joined in with my shitty tourist e-bike. I love that they gave me a waterbottle for my efforts.

(I was not blind to the troubles facing the city. For this moment though, I'd like to highlight the good.)

I logged my strength and conditioning class today using Garmin, as a HIIT class. I did many exercises including bench press, medball slams, sled pushes. The watch registered the class as 213 bicep curls. 💪

Four months after going to urgent care in the United States, I've been sent a bill for $400. Holy shit for the first time in my life I have medical debt. THIS FEELS BAD.
Guess I have to pony up and resubmit to my insurance.
Alternately, I can never show my face in the state of Montana again...

I didn't hit my 5k goal today. I felt wiped out almost right from the start, had to walk a few times, and surpassed my 35 min goal by just a bit. I'm still glad I tried but maybe I should take it easy till my lungs are more cleared up. Uuuuggh I want to be healthy.

I made it out to rock climbing last night! It felt great to be back to it but I really need to toughen up my hands again. They're in rough shape today.
I'm doing a charity 5k run at work today. I'm excited about it. My goal is to make it in 35 minutes or less.

I finally felt ok enough to run last night, but I'm coughing some this morning. It's just the last of the gunk working its way out, I hope. No running today but I might get back into rock climbing, as long as my lungs settle. 💪

I've been fantastically sick all week. Seems like I brought something extra back from my travels, aside from my dirndl and stein. The fever and coughing are finally down, and I can taste again. I didn't realize it was gone till I fixed myself a coffee and noticed we accidentally bought vanilla milk.
