Yesterday I signed up for my first running event of 2026. It will be a trail 10k on March 21. This is the same race that I ran last year on the half-marathon course, and it ended up ruining my spring/summer with a pinched nerve. So running less that half that this year. And definitely training for the hills this year.
What future events are you starting to plan for?
Signing up for Canada’s version of Dad’s Army (assuming I’m still young enough and if they ever get that going.)
Awww! You’re running on my childhood dog’s birthday. He was an amazing dog and full of energy, so this feels apt.
I have some home renovations I would like to do this year, but we’ll see what happens. It’s nothing urgent, just shit that needs to be done at some point. I planned on doing it last year, but homeownership is just the gift that keeps on giving with “oh I planned to do x, but then y broke and had to be replaced.” You know, like the money I didn’t expect to spend on critter remediation last year and ended up not using to redo the asphalt of my driveway.
I skipped the annual Winter holiday trip to Chicago this year because the weather there (and here) just sucked balls. I have finally scheduled a trip for March 6 and I’ll be teaching a seminar up there and seeing friends and eating in restaurants like a human.
i might start curling for an hour and a half every sunday…if i can bend time to my favour enough to do so.
