I tried sailing for the first time Sunday afternoon on a choppy, windy, cold lake Burley Griffin. It was a lot of fun!
Mostly I sat in the boat while someone else sailed, baby steps. I’m planning to take a course after the mid-term review is over.
Here are some photos.

I finally uploaded some photos from my two weeks in Queensland (a few are captioned). More to come. Enjoy these for now.

Today a friend and I ran the 10k (6mile) Canada Fun Run (formerly the Terry Fox Fun Run). It was a nice day with cool weather, many people participated to raise money for cancer research, and we managed a good finishing time.
The Canadian embassy served free pancakes after the race, with true Canadian maple [...]

5:48:48 over 26.2 miles (42.2km) means I averaged 13 minute and 19 [...]

I’m running my first marathon next Sunday (April 15th). There are a few reasons why I’m running a marathon, the first is to see if I can. The second is to raise money for the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia with per kilometer sponsorship, and the final reason is to have something to blog [...]
