Before the storm

Beside the 32 burpies, I also had a run today, the long run of the week. I run on Schooner Head trail then Park Loop Road until Monument Cove and back. It was very calm, quiet, the sun so bright that the temperature seemed not too cold (until I removed my gloves for more thanContinue reading “Before the storm”

December challenge

We decided, Fidel, Jules, Lea and myself, to engage on a challenge of doing 1000 burpies within 1 month, each of us. Which means that we will do 32 burpies per day, everyday, for 30 days, and 40 the last day. If you are not sure what a burpee is, here is the link ofContinue reading “December challenge”

Winter kit

A snow storm is announced to arrive between Sunday and Monday. I planned to attend a conference at 6h drive from here, but this was cancelled, because of the storm. I think I need to get used to it and get some new habits such as booking hotel rooms with a “yes-cancellation policy”! But guessContinue reading “Winter kit”

Morning for me, evening for him. 13h difference… My day was beginning. I was ready to go for my run but decided to investigate onceContinue reading “Quin dia avui!*”

Ready for the snow?

Today the paths of the outside building were surrounded by yellow sticks… waiting for the snow to come down? I’ll try to upload some pictures soon, but for now I can’t access any pictures… I got some trouble lately with my phone: I lost my SD iPhone from Singapore last Saturday and at the sameContinue reading “Ready for the snow?”

It’s raining

18th November. It is raining today. I expected a bit of snow, but obviously it was too warm for this. Remembering the great sunny weekend that just passed by…Blue Hill, the Eagle lake run with the backlight on the lake… But you won’t see one picture of this, thanks to Apple: it asked whether IContinue reading “It’s raining”
