I registered for the Army Run 2009 half marathon today. Yesterday I went for a run with the guys from work and found it very difficult. I haven't done any physical activity for the last two months since I was away from home and was busy with the academic work on the course that I was doing. I can't wait to get back in shape but the next few weeks are definitely going to hurt. Oh well, just have to take it one foot step at a time.
Now I am in my post-exercise recovery phase which means drinking coffee and sitting on my deck. lol

Ottawa 2009
- Balcony Babe
- This summer I moved to Ottawa to start a new job. When a visitor comes to Ottawa he or she is likely to have limited time and will want to see the major attractions: Parliament, the Canal, the Babe (Balcony type, of course). Since there are other little tidbits that are interesting, but not necessarily interesting enough to visit, I will make some short blog posts about them for your reading pleasure.

What kind of exercise gear do you use (shoes, lycra, sweats, other things)? Our apartment is right on a popular biking/jogging route - and I see all sorts of high-tech and cool looking gear.
For my bike riding I wear Colombia light-weight hikers (summer ones with mesh for cool air flow), I have some bike shorts (spandex padded inner shorts and tough nylon outer shorts) and on top I wear soccer jerseys or lulu lemon sports shirts to handle the liters of sweat. If it's breezy, I wear a cheap polyester jacket - a cheap knock-off of Adidas poly zip-ups.
I sit hope that balancing a glass of wine while sitting on my ball qualifies as intense exercise. Otherwise I am toast!
Oh, I want to share some good news - I've lost weight! The biking has really paid off for me this spring. J and I made a trip to The Gap yesterday to buy some new, smaller jeans.
