I believe, according to Men’s Health, that the average person gains 20 pounds a year when beginning an office job. I can see why already. I’m pleased to report that my attempts to continue eating right have continued regardless of the new direction in life, eating smaller amounts, six times a day, whole grains, vegetables, blah blah blah. I think the difference is that, while I was home, I never quite realized how often I actually went jogging. I haven’t stepped on a scale but I all around feel pudgier and more lethargic, and so it was that irritation that saw me triple layer some clothes and go for a 5k run on Tuesday night.

About 1km in I found a short-cut through a wooded area near my house and took off like a bullet to get home. I was so cold I stood there for a minute trying to thaw, then made my way upstairs to change. Most of my body was bright red – it looked like I’d been jumped by Jimmy Snuka and repeatedly slapped about the body. Not good. So now I’ve begun the process of securing winter running gear from Running Room – likely at a cost of near $300. The cost if I don’t do it appears to be far worse, so I’m willing to try. My annual St Pat’s 5k is about a month away, so I need to get in shape fast.
Somewhat lost in my inability to keep up on the news lately was Labatt bidding $201M for Lakeport. The only thing that would thrill me about this is to see every single beer on The Beer Store’s top 10 board be foreign-owned, since Lakeport is currently the only Canadian-owned item in their top 10. I only pray that Labatt won’t ruin the flavour.
