Been a busy couple of days here at KAF!!
Saw the CANCON show last week. These are Canadian entertainers who do a show tour to all of the deployed CF members around the world. This one consisted mostly of French performers due to the fact that the majority of the Canadians over here are French. The show was pretty good - lots of dancing girls for the benefit of the troops!!
Did the Canada Army Run 5km on Sunday. I haven't been running much in the last couple of years, so this was truly going to be a test of whether my body was going to be able to handle it. Well, I am happy to announce that I finished the run in fine form. I went in expecting to do 5:30/km and that is exactly was I did, finishing the 5km in 27:30. Very happy with that result. I have signed up to do the US Army 10-Miler on 4 Oct - that's 16km for you metric types. I am going to speed up for this race and expect to finish it in around 1hr 20 min. I think that's achievable with another month to train.
Things have cooled off considerably over here in the past few days. I actually had to pull out an extra blanket last night 'cause I felt a bit chilled. On that, my boss just gave me his cold, so I've been sneezing and sniffing like crazy over the past few days. I've been trying to hit the sack a little earlier over the past few nights to sleep the cold off, and it seems to be going away.
Kim seems to be doing well. She's been busy working on our deck and keeping the cats from doing each other in. I get to talk to her about every other day, so I'm updated on what's happening at home!!
OK, time for a picture. On the theme of cats, here's a shot of one of the wild cats that lives here on the base. This one is pretty well fed and has been named "Chloe" by the staff. You can't tell from this shot, but she has differently shaped back legs than your normal Canadian cat. Apparently, these help her run faster, which comes in handy when chasing down mice and rats.
