Time flies

Phew. I can't believe it's been 10 days since I last posted something here. Time is just flying by. I was talking to a running friend this week - she's a teacher and will be back at work soon. It seems like the kids just got out of school and now they're already going back. I'm so glad I took a year off! Imagine if I had only taken the summer off - I would not be a happy camper right now knowing I had less than 3 weeks of freedom left! Speaking of time flying... I noticed that Costco is putting out their Christmas stuff already! That's pushing it a wee bit.

I've started reading through the Harry Potter series - I'm on the 4th book now. I've spend most of this week reading. We rode over to the Island again last weekend. Dan, my brother, his partner and I participated in the Bike For Your Life event in Parksville. Greg, Laura and I did the 70km route, Dan went for 120km. Greg was very kind and gave us a ride to the ferry afterwards (otherwise, it would've been an extra 30km...). This weekend, we'll be at the cabin in Birken. On Sunday, there is a Slow Food Cycle Sunday event in Pemberton. It's a nice easy bike ride through the Pemberton area to checkout the local farmers, buy produce right from the farm, and a chance to learn about where our food comes from. The authors of the 100 Mile Diet book will be giving a talk before the event! I just read it, so I'm looking forward to the presentation.

Next weekend is Dan's birthday! We'll be spending it in Penticton watching Ironman and supporting my friend as she completes her 9th Ironman!!
