春节补记

28 Jan

今年1月23日是我和先生相识10周年及结婚7周年，又恰逢我们的农历新年，因此这天就有了特别的意义。

我和先生去温哥华岛的Tofino，在Long Beach听海看浪，度了个温馨的短假。

: 房间面向太平洋，黄昏时坐在沙发上，听着涛声，看着海浪，心中竟是别样的安宁。住处的Great Room, 供客人用餐、喝咖啡、下棋、聊天、看海、发呆。。。

: 迎风破浪惊涛骇浪重归平静

: 我和他他和我我们俩

As our New Year’s Day ritual, a group (14 this time) of us led by my husband went snowshoeing on Mt. Seymour. We climbed up and down; we bumslid the steep hills; we ate and drank and we fought. Oh how much fun we had!

My Life in 2011

24 Dec

2011 is an important year for me. It is a year with many challenges and accomplishments.

Here are some of the highlights of the year to be remembered and cherished.

15 Apr: The last day with the company I had worked at for 8.5 years. Intrawest has gone through many changes over the past few years. It went from a private company to public and then private again after it was acquired by Fortress. Finally early this year it was decided that the corporate office would be moved from Vancouver to Denver, Co. Thus sadly my department was among the first to let go.

01 May: On January 01 this year, I decided to do something I don’t like but challenging and good for me. Hence I chose to run a half marathon ( 元月小结). After training twice a week for 3.5 months, I successfully completed my very first half marathon in 2 hours 5 minutes and 53 seconds (I Did It).

06 Jul: After a short break from my previous job, I started my new adventure with Rocky Mountaineer (要上班了).

06 Aug: We did our Warrior Dash with some of our friends (庆祝。。。). It was quite physically demanding but we had loads of fun.

09 Oct: I had such a great feeling of accomplishment after my half marathon, I decided to register for a full marathon. My husband would like to do it with me. However, after all the races such as Iron Man Canada 2000, various half and full marathon runs in the past, his left calf bothers him when he runs long distance. In order to do it together, we decided to sign up in full marathon walk category in June for the race on 09 Oct (42.2公里葡萄园品酒). After training once a week for 14 weekends), we successfully completed the full distance in 6 hours and 7 minutes (our goal was with 6 hours & 30 minutes) (完成了。。。).

24 Sep: After his graduation from the university in Toronto last year, my son decided to go back to China and spent some time with his grandma. He found himself a job with HSBC while there. He managed to take some time off and came back for a quick visit. It was short and sweet.
