Day 12, I had a coffee with a friend. Well, sorta. She ordered a basic cold green tea and I did the same; instead of my usual mocha frappe. It was different, not sure how likely I am to order it again. However, still an improvement. After that, took a walk around the heights, playing some ingress in the process. Ended it after I’d gotten my required 30 minutes because it started to rain.

This morning, I’m going for a walk before work, despite the rain. I’ve put a work shirt into my pack for changing into after I get to the office.

Also I’m keeping my eye out for any Mormons so I can get a copy of the Book to read. Though I might ask them for a copy of the Book of Arnold.

Last night, I walked home from work in the rain. It was reasonably intermittent, so I didn’t get soaked. I made it down to the bus stop by Deer Lake parkway, checked the time til the next bus, it was long enough that it made sense to walk down the hill to the next stop. I probably could have made it one more before the bus, but it wasn’t worth the risk of missing it and having to wait 30 minutes for the next one.

Today, it’s a nice sunny day, I’ll go for a wander around the heights and play a bit of ingress, before doing a longer walk down along the waterfront trail.

And then tonight, I go see the Book of Mormon with Dimestore and co. I haven’t decided how formal I want to dress.

Longer walk tonight. Two short walks during the day to visit gram and then to get to work, then a 45 minute walk down to Goard way stop after work. The timing meant I didn’t need to wait long for the bus. Then another 10 minutes after the bus to get home.
Thinking about installing the zombie! run app and doing that over the weekend, since I’ll have the time and it’ll be something different.

Laggy day before work again. After work, headed north along a north south bike trail that goes down to BCIT. Had a nice 40 minute walk to get down here. If my bike was 100%, I’d consider riding to/from work. I need to get the chains checked and oiled before I take it on long rides. Oh and of course get some practice riding on the weekends to be sure my muscles and balance will handle riding for an extended period.

Didn’t get a walk in before work. Work ended at 9:05. Walked down to bcit, over 30 minutes. Good enough.

Took a walk this morning. Miscalculated the route, should have taken a different one to catch the 123 after I finished it. Oh well, 40 minutes is decent.

After work, I walked north towards BCIT and got in a good 30 minutes before finding a bus stop to catch it home.

It wasn’t raining, so I went for a walk. Then the phone rang. Richard wanted to go to Neptune. After I spent another 25 minutes walking around,  I headed out there, and spent 5 hours fixing phone systems.

#30for30 – Well, day 3, managed 3.33kms in 34 minutes. Plus the time that I had to wait for the traffic lights to cross Hastings.

I woke up at 6 am, and couldn’t get back to sleep for about 2 hours. After I got back to sleep, I had a dream involving a really nice classic car, that I had helped offload into a driveway. Afterwards, I backed into it. Immediately. Then I woke up. It was around 11am. Gram was checking to see if I was still coming to visit her. I got a lift over there with my mother, chatted with Gram for a little bit, then we took the two dogs out for a 40 minute walk around the neighbourhood. Decent exercise, though I didn’t have my watch on me to check the pace I was keeping or the distance walked.

Then more time with Gram and a nice meal, before a ride to work.

Gram seems to be doing better. She’s got a walker with two sets of wheels now, and seems able to get around the house.

Then a shift at work, with a nice salad packed by my mother. And then, my weekend.
