Kind of a trail runner, mostly a dork - the great outdoors, cats, hockey, motorcycles, punk rock, aquariums, and smashing the patriarchy, fascism, and intolerance

You should always reach for one from the bottom of any pile of limes. Why? Because they're sublime.

The irony of having got through a snowy trail run, a snowshoe run, and two hockey games without getting too banged up...then hardly being able to move after slipping on a wet floor and doing interpretive dance moves to stay upright while getting take-out

The neurodivergent struggle of forgetting things exist because they weren't in plain view while ALSO forgetting things exist because they ARE in plain view but have been there long enough that they just become background scenery

I love my tendy brothers - I truly do - but if hockey players in general are "golden retriever" types, then goalies are 100% orange cats

🎵 Running through a winter wonderland 🎶 The City of Cambridge does such a lovely job with Candyland in Central Park each holiday season! 🍬🍭🎄
Bright lights in a rainbow of colours festoon trees while giant candy canes form a gateway on a path - mostly cleared of the snow that blankets the rest of the scene - leading to a large gazebo A multicoloured holiday train of lights shines brightly in a snow-covered field - a tree in the distance is illuminated by a vivid pink floodlight An idiot in black running apparel and a light-coloured hydration vest appears to dance gaily while hanging on to a massive upright candy cane with a tree behind her that appears to drop icicles of blue lightsTrees strung heavily with lights support decorations that look like giant wrapped hard candies made of lights in a snow-covered park. The streetlight near the diagonal pathway is topped with a large white star of lights

Late post but I had such fun at the inaugural Lost Valley Trail Race through Smokey Hollow, Borer's Falls, Rock Chapel & Dundas Valley on Saturday! Could have done without the thunder & lightning while I was running the edge of the escarpment 😅🌩️ but I managed to finish before the deluge! 🌧️
A woman smiles and gives a thumbs up in front of Borer's Falls. She's wearing a peaked hat with a wilderness scene that looks to have been rained on, blonde braids, a blue jacket with an off-white hydration vest, and a black glove with a skeleton hand in whiteYoung, bare deciduous trees line an orange leaf-covered path along the edge of an escarpment under overcast skies. The distant view beyond the edge is obscured by rain and fog, but more forest is visible belowA few yellow leaves still clinging to a tree stand out among the fallen orange leaves, bare brown trunks, and green moss-covered rocks. White blazes show the trail heads uphillMoss-covered rocks emerge from drifts of fallen leaves, needing careful foot placement to make your way along this section of forested trail

On November 10th, 2008 I stepped out my front door to see if I could run around my block a couple of times. This evening - 17 years and around 35,000km later - I ran through blowing snow, because the rewards are still greater than the discomfort. #running

Played my first ever official game of hockey NOT as a goalie this evening. Grateful to have a supportive team ('causr I'm pretty trash), and somehow I got an assist - we even won the game! Looking forward to the rest of the season with Team Yellow 💛

While I wouldn't recommend a 50k as therapy for a herniated lumbar disc, it worked out ok today at Wise Raven on an absolute stunner of an autumn day. Grateful to get dressed up like a dork and wander in the woods for a few sunny hours, even if my bits hurt

..so also my dumb ass may have ended up in an all-out 100 yard sprint against a bloody OHL hockey player after the game this evening. He just edged me out by the end, but I do have a couple of decades on him and had just played an 80min game so I'm not gonna beat myself up about losing 😅

Sometimes you've just gotta bop out at 6pm to drive an hour and a quarter to a rink so that the first session of your favourite hockey org's shinny in a new city gets to start off with two goalies - even managed to get leg day and a run in first, and made it home by 11pm! 🏒 Thanks London BLHP!

Had been in such a slump in net for months - was honestly starting to think about hanging up the pads. Played an open pickup game last night, though, and FINALLY had a decent showing! Kind of messed up my shoulder in the process, but still felt good to get to frustrate some shooters 🏒

I had seen a couple of berried females, but I thought they dropped their eggs...until I spotted this little shrimplet! It's impossibly small - like a tiny white eyelash - but my shrimp are finally starting to breed! 🦐
