Bad Blogger !!!!!
Hey Everyone
This is the longest time I have ever gone between posts. The biggest reason is that I moved into my own place and didn’t bother with internet access,. It really isn’t that inconvenient because I am able to use it whenever I need to at school and not having it at home gives me more time to read. I also don’t find the time as long after Christmas because the days are longer with more beautiful sunshine. I may think differently next year during the long cold days of fall and winter that come upon us prior to Christmas. Two months from today I will be barbequing on my deck back in New Brunswick. I almost have my third year completed in the North and I find the time has really flew.
It will really be nice to get back home to my kids and wife. Speaking of my wife I just got off the phone with her. A little over a year ago she started to run. Working her way up from 1 km to 5 km to 10km. Gradually she has built up her stamina and running longer and longer distances in shorter and shorter periods of time. Today she ran in a 15km race in Grande Digue New Brunswick in a around 1 hour 27 mins. That is pretty phenomenal considering when I watched her run a 5 km last summer she said she was never running any longer distance than that. She truly committed herself to it and the only thing that will bump the running will be her family. In order to come and visit me this past fall she passed up an opportunity to run a race that she had been training many months for. I guess she loves me.
I am also watching with interest the Swine Flu epidemic that has hit the U.S., Canada, and especially Mexico. Because my wife is an Infection Control Nurse this will really take away from her running. I even noticed our fearless Health Minister, who happens to be the MP for Nunavut, on the news tonite telling us not to worry. My wife feels it is something we should all be wary off. Remember to wash your hands everyone.
Our school is also involved with a YMCA student exchange involving students here and students from Toronto. They leave this week and the group from TO arrive the week after. It should be really exciting. There is other big news happening here in Cape Dorset. The next time I blog I should be able to tell you about it.
Cheers
