Love my job!

Yesterday was so busy at work. It's just a crazy time of the year for me getting all the campsites ready for May long weekend. Regardless of all the work I dont skip my lunch hour runs. As part of my new half-marathon training program all my non-speed drill runs are to be done at between 8:09 - 8:20 mins/mile. I didnt have my phone with me yesterday so we just tried to run a "comfortably hard" pace where we were pushing ourselves but could still talk easily enough. We did 5 miles and when we got back to the office found that our pace was 8:24 so not bad for winging it :)

Today I flew to Texada Island for work. Its about a 20 mins flight in a 5 seater plane. I had to bring over some new outhouse seats for one of my site operators. The pilot had a laugh at my "luggage" saying its the first times he's ever flown any of those!

(outhouse parts...the glamorous side of my job)

I spent a good hour and half hiking around Shingle Beach Recreation Site with my site operator discussing his future plans for the site.

Then I got back to the airport with a bit of time to kill so I went for another quick 2 mile walk. Not bad for a supposed rest day!! The pilot came back to pick me up and we flew to Powell River. Once we landed there he had to go in to the building to check in a couple more passengers. He left me alone in the place and I was reminded of the Robert Munsch book "Angela's Airplane"...I resisted the urge to push any of the interesting buttons though :)

We flew back home in the sun and I was reminded of what a great job I have and a commute like that is hard to beat!! I packed all my food and snacks for the day and ended the day under my calorie goal even though it was a rest day which was a bonus! Got home just in time to put the kids to bed.
