I sometimes joke that these days my whole life happens on West Pender Street between the downtown core and Tinseltown, in Vancouver. After all, everything from my apartment, to my office, to my pharmacy, to my hair salon are located on a 600 metre stretch of this single street. Now and then I’ll venture a couple of blocks north or south to grab some groceries and I can even be found running along the seawall or playing some beach volleyball at Spanish Banks from time to time.

In addition to doing the marathon thing, I’m dabbling in triathlons and taking on a whole new diet in 2014. As with most of what I do, I’ll be contemplating the meaning and purpose of it all along the way.

These are some of my observations, thoughts and feelings on life on and around West Pender Street in Vancouver, BC. Thanks for checking in!
