Or even like you all that much. Even if I do show you my pink, lacy underwear. Again. Bearded Physio Man – “You really have to stop holding my hand.” Donloree – “I know. It isn’t because I like you. I don’t trust you.” Bearded Physio Man – “How about you help by just holding […]

Havasu falls, Grand Canyon

A few months ago, while the subarctic was still in its annual deep freeze, a conversation about running down to Havasu Falls started up with some of the Speedsters.

After having to cancel last week’s physio appointment due to strategic planning sessions at work, I wasn’t very motivated to show up for today’s appointment. Seeing how I am able to clip in and bike 30+ km in a day and even go for a 10 km hike after biking to and from work which is […]

Edmonton River Valley
