At least not a long distance travel related issue. I guess, I’m still traveling, granted it’s mostly around the area I live in.

I started running ( plodding ) back in February. There were several issues that brought about this want of transformation, which I won’t go in to, needless to say I started doing it. I started out by using a program on my iPhone called Couch to 5K. It has a very saucy british lady telling you your times and such, and it’s a very sexy voice. To say that you end up despising the woman and want to see her thrown in to the pits of Tartarus about half way through the 9 weeks would be putting your thoughts nicely.

After finishing off the 9 weeks I stopped using the program and moved on to Runmeter, which I’m slowly customizing to my liking, but it pretty much did what I wanted to right out of the gate, so to speak, which is always a plus.

I have finally gotten my eyes scanned, it’s this thing called Nexus, it allows me to pretty much avoid the line for customs that can sometimes be an hour or longer wait depending. Sometimes I’ve gotten lucky and breezed through, in which case the Nexus doesn’t really matter. There are other times though where I can just go through and it’s so nice and easy.

I mentioned in a previous post about this really long underground hallway, and how I’d like to get a picture of it when there weren’t any people there. Well, I found the perfect time for that, it’s about 4:40 in the morning.

And how could I go through the Toronto airport and not take a snap shot of this … who doesn’t love dinosaurs!

No shots of Dulles, don’t recall why there aren’t any, guess I just didn’t take any…however, plenty of Vancouver, where I was first, and Calgary, where I was second.

North Vancouver Bay

And while not a picture of the outside of Calgary, was just something I saw and wanted a picture of.
