I watched the Iowa Hawkeye football game over the weekend. It wasn’t as much as the thought of watching the game that truly kept me interested through the whole broadcast. It stunk that they lost, and I was a little upset at the fact, but it quickly faded into the idea that I was hungry and really wanted breakfast. It was my brother who reminded me about the game and made me curious as to if we could watch it while being in Vancouver. Rebecca was just as reminiscent of the shots they showed of the Ped Mall as I was. It was also more apparent to me than ever as to the flatness of where I used to spend everyday going to and from work. At least TV does not do the land any justice. However, it’s also said that the camera can add fifteen pounds to the human body. No wonder so many people in Hollywood are anorexic.
During my downtime in the city, I’ve been doing my best to get back into a good workout routine. This generally means getting back into a good running routine, but that is an excellent way to learn the layout of the neighborhood I’m living in now. This often takes me through Stanley Park. It’s such a great place to tread, but I’m still learning the layout. I added almost an extra mile to a run last week because I found myself somewhere I hadn’t been before but thought I had. Luckily I came out in a place that I knew fairly well, but it could have been much worse. I think I like running while it’s raining more than when it isn’t. There’s not as many people to navigate yet alone the lack of knowledge of where I’m going.
I’m such a tourist.
Enjoying running in the rain already ! You are not a tourist, you are a full fledged west coaster now.
