This is also a path to cold plunges, if you're interested in that. Try 10 seconds, move up to 20, 30, 60.
alan@al9000.com · 2d agoamong the top ten best pieces of advice I've gotten in life is this: take hot showers, but turn the water about as cold as you can stand it for a couple minutes before getting out it's invigorating in a way few things are

I wrote up my thoughts on why using a paper notebook (and bullet journal) beats apps and digital devices. #bujo #bulletjournal
Why Analog?
Surely, there's an app for that... why bother with pen and paper?

Comparing My Summer Training Regimens (So Far)
Every year I hesitate to sign up for races, knowing I haven't really trained to the levels I used to, and knowing I won't perform to the levels I used to. My wife always encourages me to sign up, because she thinks with the carrot of an upcoming race (and the stick of the spent fees) I'll train more, and thus be happier about my health, less stressed, and have something to look forward to.

I have thoughts on Nolan's The Odyssey.... It's a MOVIE OK, I only had one thought on Nolan's The Odyssey
Insomnia last night, but the good news is I finally finished Shogun by James Clavell. I wish I had read it faster because I lost track of character motivations & agendas, but it's a real doorstopper of a book. When I started, I thought I'd read the entire Asian saga, but now I'm hesitant. #booksky

A June of Firsts Part 3: A Ride Around Stanley Park Seawall
I heard the Stanley Park Seawall has a dedicated bike path that only travels in one direction so I thought it would be nice to ride it as a family. We had to do a pick-up in Delta in the late afternoon anyway, but it did mean our ride would be time-bound. I found lots of potential routes - while the Seawall path itself is clear, finding an accessible starting point with parking is up for some debate.

A June of Firsts Part 2: The Grouse Grind (a.k.a Masochist Father’s Day)
I wanted an active, but fun family outing for Father's Day and after some consultation, we decided to go to Grouse Mountain, partially because the Observatory is a fine dining establishment where we could get a good meal to commemorate the day. When you book a table, the gondola ride is included in the meal price, so it's a good deal.

A June of Firsts Part 1: Matsqui Trail Bike Ride
After springing for a new Thule bike rack that could carry 4 bikes (we used to be able to put the Lightning Kid's bike in the trunk when we wanted a family bike ride), I was extra motivated to try and get out for a ride that wasn't simply through my own neighbourhood. The weather's turned really nice here in Abbotsford, and I need to get my exercise in more than ever.
