Man Servant Required...in the garden's please




This is going to go from a leaf riddled mess to this in the next couple of weeks...






Now that I'm not running, I have no excuse not to tidy up the house.  Not that it is all that grossly dirty, it was just easier to ignore while strapping on the kicks to head out for a nice long run.   Hmmmm, maybe I can use gardening as my new excuse!

This weekend it is GORGEOUS outside and I don't want to miss the chance to get out into the gardens.  Even though my knee is still very sore and since I'm using Pennsaid, I can't wear my shorts, apparently sun and Pennsaid do not mix very well, so no sun tanning for me!



Once I finish up with my coffee and cleaning the fish tank, out I go!

Have a great weekend everyone,

Life's fun if you don't weaken,

Long Weekend, Running, Pollen and Rain...

The sun has just risen and it looks like a glorious day will be upon us today. I have to get my run in and then I'll be fighting off the black flies and mosquito's as I dig in and get my hands dirty in the garden for the first time this year. I love my garden's and have been really looking forward to getting back into the dirt....

This is our long May weekend, Victoria Day is on Monday. Usually this is on or close to May 24, but for some reason this year everything seems to be early.


The pollen from the tree's is so bad this year that my car has been covered with thick yellow pollen every morning when I head off to the office.

I've had to wash my car about three times this week, one car wash actually blew my wiper blades off!! Won't go back to that place again, hahahaha....now I just need to get inside the car and clean out all of the winter salt stains and gorp that accumulates from your snow boots.

With the all trees and shrubs blooming, I actually had to take an allergy pill last night so I could stop sneezing and get some sleep. Hopefully all this floating yellow dust will be gone by next weekend.

Tomorrow is our last long run before my very first ever MARATHON, we are running 16K, which is 9.94 miles Marcy!!!!

I just checked the weather for Kanata-Ottawa, and yes it is in imperial units for my south of the border friends....they now say it is suppose to rain all weekend.

With that said, I'm going to finish up my breakfast and get out for my run while the sun is shining....

Have a great SAFE, happy, long weekend everyone!

Happy Victoria Day!!

The long 24 weekend (yes, as in a case of beer).....

Life's fun if you don't weaken,
