Ottawa, Again

So it's finally a week away: my trip to Ottawa. I've already lined up many social engagements during my three day stay. I'll also be meeting up with some people who can point out how the Ottawa job market is. Should be a good trip. God knows, I've got to get out of Toronto for awhile. I'm just dying here.

Today was my last session at the gym with my personal trainer for three weeks. She's going on a vacation of her own: to Denmark and Africa. Should be an interesting trip for her. Now, the only challenge for me is being honest and going to the gym to work on my cardio. I'm trying to get the 12 minute mile on the treadmill, but all I've been able to work up lately is to the 15:40 mark on two occasions this week. It's hard getting to run at a speed of 5.0 on the treadmill. I usually crank her down to 3.0 for a few minutes rest before cranking it up again. So we'll see how it goes from here on out.
