The Flood of 2008
This week Fredericton has been all over the national news due to a major flood of the St. John river that runs through the middle of the city. For some great photo images go to www.justfred.ca and you'll see what I am talking about.
Since the 15k in Grande-Digue attention has now turned to teh Fredericton Half Marathon that, if flood waters recede, will be run in 9 days time. This week has been a "taper" period so I swam on Monday (2x100m ladders with 25m intervals, one of crawl, one of breast stroke) and ran on Tuesday. Unfortunately work got in the way with plans both Wednesday and Thursday so today, fabulous Friday, I definitely must get in a swim and/or run.
Yesterday was Jill's birthday and just as she wanted, a shiny new BBQ was her gift. She can't wait to use it on the weekend!
