I signed up for the Vancouver Sun Run a couple weeks ago and have started to train for it. This is the first race I've entered since elementary school. My goal is to run it in under 45 minutes.

I'm back onto my language learning kick again. I'm taking an evening French course at UVIC twice a week and have been listening to podcasts at Learn French By Podcast. Last night I discovered this great site, meetup.com, that lets you find casual interest groups in your area. There is a Spanish group that meets up at a coffee house on Tuesdays so I'm going to swing by tonight and see what it's like.

I stayed up to watch the men's tennis final of the Australian Open on the weekend from 12:00am to 5:30am. It was a great game but I was rooting for Federer. I can't see him winning the French but hopefully he does well at Wimbledon and the U.S. open.

Next weekend I'm going to Mt. Baker with a load of friends. It should be out of control.

I'd like to start maintaining separate personal and professional blogs so that people only interested in one or the other don't have to read through posts they don't care about. I'm sorry if this applies to you right now!
