Wedding Day

Today was the wedding, the reason we came to Toronto for the weekend. I wanted to get some form of activity in because I knew the rest of the day would be spent sitting, eating, and perhaps, if my wife is lucky, I'll throw a little dancing in as well.

I got up early and went down to the hotel health club. I saw the treadmill, it was available, and as hard as it was to do, I walked passed it and sat down on the rowing machine. I pulled on the cord for 25 minutes or so, or 5K; worked up a good sweat too. When I got back to the room, I talked my wife into a splash in the pool for a half our or so. We then cleaned-up, went for a late breakfast and off to the church.

The wedding was nice, but the reception was more of an annoyance. I stopped drinking alcohol a couple of years ago, not for the sake losing weight, but just because I was sick of waking up with a hangover and basically being able to do nothing for a full day on the weekend while I recovered from the indulgence. Explaining this to your high-school friends is a little more difficult. In the end, it dawned on me that if you took alcohol away from the experiences I had with most of these people throughout high school, we really would have very little to talk about. I won't elaborate any further - I was just happy to see the night end.

Big day planned tomorrow - back running, hopefully!
