• Times Colonist 10k Run Finish Line

My feet still hurt a bit. However, I wanted to try to run the TC10K.

The first 2K I could only run slowly because my feet didn’t feel comfortable. I couldn’t feel the pain anymore at the 3-7K. On the last 3K, the pain came back.

No matter what happened yesterday, it was super fun and interesting. I have done another 10K without stopping.

The official Sun Run result was out already. This year was the worse one I never had, 1:12:37. I have to do better next time.

• My Poor Feet

I went to basketball game tonight as normal. However, this time...... I got injured badly. I twisted my ankle again.
It is pretty bad this time because I cannot even walk up or down the stair.

I don't think I can run the 10k on Sunday anymore. My feet looks pretty bad.......

• Sun Run 2008
• Can You Find Me??

OK, I didn’t practice at all before this…. I really thought I would die because of it.
However, it didn’t go too bad.

I was lazy in the morning sleeping in the hotel bed. The race started at 9am but I didn’t get out of the hotel BED till 8:35am. Hahaha. This was the third time I joined this event so I knew how the road goes and how hard it is.

This year, my final result was much slower than pervious years….. it should be about 1 hr and 10 mins…… However, I didn’t stop/walk at all. I ran pretty slowly but kept running till the end… this was the first time I did it without walking . I believed it was an achievement for myself although it was slower than pervious years.

Then... after the race… the most important things were….1) Free food, and 2) Back to bed to sleep…..

• Chamber Award

Tonight was the Chamber of Commerce award night. It was hosting at the Empress Hotel. Everyone in the office started drinking at 4pm….. but I was too tired from drinking too much.

We went to Empress, had dinner and the award night till 10pm. It was a fun experience.

I didn’t win but I am seriously super happy to be the finalist of this year. I didn’t expect I would win at all… nothing to be expected. Happy happy happy… excited and surprised. I would consider I win already for myself.

Time to get back to work for the rest of the week tho…….

One of the reason I came out to Vancouver was because I had a training today. It was in Burnaby.

I got up at 7:20am and picked my co-worker up at the Harbour Air station. Then we started to drive to Burnaby.

The training went pretty well and got off at 3pm, caught the 5pm ferry. The company paid for the buffet. From what I remember, it was my second time having buffet on the ferry. The food was ok but it was FREE. Haha.

I then went to my friend’s place and didn’t get home till 9pm… tired….

Went to Vancouver and stayed at my friend’s place for the weekend. I haven’t seen some of them for over ½ year now. Time flies… especially after we graduated.

It had been a hot sunny weekend.

One more week, then I will have more time to do my own stuff.

This week was super busy because I had training and presentation to go to.
For the presentation, I didn’t do too well tho. My boss said I talked toooo fast and clicked too fast product we were showing them. Hopefully, I didn’t affect the presentation too much.

Hm……….. there are still a lot of things I need to improve… presentation is one…and I cannot be nervous anymore

Thank you for office’s kindness to let me flight with them to Vancouver this morning. This was my first time taking the harbour seaplanes from Victoria to Vancouver for work. Exciting

This was my first time going to a client’s office for training in Vancouver alone. I was so nervous and excited. I didn’t know if I could handle it or not. However, with my 3 years experience developing the CMS. I thought I did ok… Afterward, I stayed in Vancouver for the weekend.

This week was super busy… like crazy because I had to prepare so many clients training and meetings…. Fixing bugs and planning projects for co-workers.
