“Miss American Pie”

2016:Day 13(Bonus round) Man, what a huge year of loss. To the point: David Bowie  Prince Paul Kantner Glenn Frey George Michael Leonard Cohen I also want to include Scott Weiland even though he passed away late in 2015 and Gord Downie since this was his farewell year. And I’m sure there are others that … [Read more…]

“The (Very) Patient Wife”

December 26, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 12 If I was to choose just one person to toast this year, it would undoubtedly be Linda. 7 years. A lot can happen over a seven year period. 7 years ago there were a bunch of punk-ass high school students hanging out at the 7-11. Over the past 7 years, we have turned … [Read more…]

“New Life”

December 21, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 11 It’s funny how things seem to happen in waves. I remember the first summer Linda and I were together (1992), it seemed like every weekend we attended a wedding; whereas the summers before and after there may have been one each. In fact, there were 2 invitations on some Saturdays. Quite predictably … [Read more…]

“The Beer Mile”

December 19, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 10 Day 10 of the 12DOD returns to celebrating the significant events of 2016 – the Beer Mile! To be honest, when Sarah first suggested doing it for her birthday, I had to Google it because I’d never heard of it before. Apparently you have to drink a beer, run a quarter mile, rinse and repeat … [Read more…]

“The Penny”

December 18, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 9 No disrespect intended to my gender, but didn’t the ladies just kill it this year? Look at Rio as an example. It wasn’t until the second week of the games that we noticed we had Canadian men competing. And even at that, I think our Olympic team consisted of a male pole … [Read more…]

“Unicorn Tears” (aka “The BQ”)

December 14, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 8 I’m sure that everyone reading this has heard of the Boston Marathon as it’s probably the most famous marathon in the world, if not the oldest standing race. What most people don’t realize is how difficult it is to make it to the starting line. You can’t just sign up for Boston; … [Read more…]

“The Springbok” aka “The Prez”

2016: Day 7 Today we celebrate Robbie J. Really, you could argue that we should celebrate him every day, but let’s start small and see if there’s an appetite for more. I joined the Steveston Athletic Association (SAA) board this year as a Director at Large. I figured it was an easy way to get … [Read more…]

“The UTRs”

December 11, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 6 For the third straight year I was quite fortunate to be part of relay team at Challenge Penticton. My team mates Sarah and Tammi had all completed iron distance races in July so this race was just for giggles. We promised not to take it too seriously. As with the other relays, it was just a … [Read more…]

“Light it Up”

December 9, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 5 “She believed she could, so she did”. Tonight we celebrate our good friend Sarah. We met Sarah a little over a year ago when spinning in Tammi’s garage. At the time, she had a marathon under her belt as well as two sprint distance triathlons. She had just signed up for Ironman which … [Read more…]

“South Caye”

December 8, 2016 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2016: Day 4 Day 4 of the 12DOD is celebrating life experiences… and warmer places – on an evening where we are expecting snow overnight. Many people know that we like totravel. In fact, we have a policy of not going back to the same countries since there are so many places on our bucket … [Read more…]
