We experienced the aftershock of a small earthquake which took place on the Ontario/Quebec border and watched tornadoes touch down north of the city. To top it all off, we have been forced to watch the city turn into a Police State with the onset of the G8 and G20 Summits taking place this weekend. The giant security fences are up, the downtown core is boarded up, and the protesters are already making their presence known.
To lighten things up a little, this picture captures the extent of the devastation suffered as a result of the earthquake:
To top it all off, I've had a crazy schedule with work this week which has kept me sitting on my BUTT watching focus groups for 14-hours a day and well clear of the running trails for the past 3 days * grimace*. OKAY - NO EXCUSES! NO PITY PARTY! I am dedicating my weekend to getting myself back on the program and moving forward.
Hope you're all having an awesome week!

I heard about the earthquake, but haven't followed the details about other damage, injuries, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that all you had to do was right a fallen chair.
I hadn't run since my 6/19 10K, but got ma' butt off the couch and went for an evening 4 miles last night...you'll fit it in.
Oh my gosh Rae, things have been crazy there! I'm happy that you are safe! I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe it when I heard about the earthquake!! Well, I hope that you have a wonderful earthquake free weekend ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to take a run soon. It drives me nuts, now, when I have to sit still so long!
ReplyDeleteHi Rae, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I haven't posted on there for a while but I'm still trying to eat healthy. I post mainly to my daily blog.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your weight loss and run. I hate running, can't even bring myself to try. I do like to walk in the mornings but I've gotten out of the habit of that too now that summer has hit and it's pretty hot by 8am! I go in spurts, I'm sure I'll get back to it at some point. Drop by any time
Hugs

ReplyDeleteWow, the news on the G8 is unreal. Did you get in on any of the action? I was teaching piano when the earth tremor occurred...freaked me out!?!
