Rightsizing

Kate's just said that I am a giving person. I am not sure what provoked this but I feel it was laced with a healthy dose of sarcasm.


As you may have noticed Kate has given up on the book title thing. Thank God. Anyway my infrequent postings will now be titled with crap consultancy phrases. The fact they are from consultants isn't the issue, the issue is they are left behind when the consultants leave. Well I guess you have to have something to show for the fees.

Since Christmas I have been rightsizing. This involves, pilates, running, a bike and a cross-trainer. The worst thing about all this is the gear. My golf clubs were a little too old fashioned so I re-tooled. My athletic wear was a little too... crap... and now I shop for clothes in sporting emporia. I am now concerned that my trusty mountain bike (a Jared Jones cast-off) doesn't cut the mustard. I have been playing with the GPS on Kate's Blackberry and I actually record my activities using GPSed. I have also discovered that I can log all my activity using MapMyRun. I am not sure what this all says about our stay in Canada but as you can see from the picture of Kate I am not the only one having funny turns.

It is good to know that when old friends came over from the UK all of this went out the window. We drank heavily with our only athletic highlight being a fantastic day at Canada's Wonderland. I believe it is traditional to show pictures of the kids from days like this. Well on this particular day all of the kids were at least 38.

STOP PRESS... STOP PRESS...
