Bonjour... je m'appelle Amy!

Greetings from Montreal!

This is going to be a quick update as its almost time for dinner. I've had so much news in the last couple of days!

1) I impulsively bought a new lap top, as mine was about to fall apart. Perfect timing for a business trip... except for the fact that I cannot connect remotely to my work server using Vista. The end result, bringing 2 laptops on said trip as I cannot access personal sites on the work server. Boo. I ended up getting another Dell. I had zero problems with my last one... and it was pretty much the equivalent of the "Zack Morris Phone" in laptop language. The price was right, so I bought it!


Samuel decided he liked the new box too. This picture dosn't really do the action justice, as Sam is about 20lbs... and well, how big can a laptop box be really? :)

I had a FANTASTIC 20k on Sunday morning... it was run of those runs that felt like you could just go forever. I had a bit of a problem recovering though; I just couldn`t seem to take in enough fluid afterwards. I stayed puffy all day. I caught the 3pm train to Montreal with my boss. We had a great meal at St. Hubert. I chose fahitas, but they didn`t fill me up in the slightest. I may have ate almost a whole bag of these:
This is my pad for the next couple of days....

My view from the 27th floor. Habs fans: I`m only a block away from the Bell Centre, too bad there was no hockey to watch. :(


We`re going to The Peel Pub for supper. This is going to be a challenging week if I keep being faced with these challenges!
Just for the record, Sheraton Montreal if you happen to read this:
Its totally lame to charge $16 a day for the internet.

Hang in there. Just make the best choice you can each time...that is my new game plan in those situations.

Good luck!

So happy your run went well. How are you feeling about race day? Good luck!

I miss you baby, sneak in and steal some habs stuff at the bell center, on your last night...

I'll stay warm again tonight, with all 3 animals loving the bed space

Love you!
