The Running Diva

Friday, February 22, 2008

It was such a chaotic day at work! I got set up with a new machine this week but somehow a bunch of my files that I needed to meet a deadline for today didn’t get copied over so needless to say, I didn’t get my stuff done in time. What can you do.

Juice took advantage of the dine-around deal that is happening right now and booked us two glorious nights at the Brentwood Bay lodge. We did this little get-away last year at this time and really loved it and boy, after these past few crazy weeks, I was really looking forward to relaxing in a swanky room!

We drove straight to the lodge after work, dropped our stuff off in the room and then got changed for a run. I only had to run for 35 minutes so we ran along Wallace Drive to the trails at Gowland Todd, ran there for a bit then turned around and came back. I did 6 x pose drills/strides and then we got ready for dinner. We had an extremely decadent meal at the Carden Street Cafe, just up the street from the lodge. The food was really, really good but super rich. I wanted to try one of their desserts but just couldn’t pack it in!
