Day 1, ish | 10 months ago

8r4d Our first evening in #Vancouver2025 was basically our arrival and transit from the airport to the hotel. We went out for a short wander but everyone was pretty tired, so excitement wasn’t exactly on the agenda.

8r4d Our #hilltraining night was bumped to Tuesday this week so my internal #running clock was a little stilted from the change. Still, we cranked out seven repeats.

8r4d It’s been a while since I posted to youtube, but now that spring is here and the trails are starting to warm up, I can take my mittens off for long enough to press the record button and take some more #video of our #running adventures.

8r4d Long shadows and slippery ice. Our first long #running outing in #spring and our longest run of 2025. Well longest for me. I’m sure my laziness isn’t completely contagious.

8r4d I finally broke down and bought a foot pedal for my iPad.

A couple years ago I switched to full digital for my #orchestra #sheetmusic which simply mean that rather than printing the multiple pages out and keeping them organized in a binder, I’ve been using forScore and PDFs on my iPad. This isn’t that unusual. About a third of the orchestra, including our conductor, are on tablets of some kind.

Turing the page has rarely been a bother tho. Tap the edge of the screen. But two things have changed this year: a) i’ve been sharing a lot more and b) our music is a bit odd this year in that some of our music has page turns mid-phrase or in confusing points. The solution is in a foot pedal. They are so integral that the box is actually cross branded with the sheet music app logo.

It does one thing. It turns the page with a foot tap… which is important when my hands are busy playing a violin.

8r4d The #winter temperatures were back for a reprise this week but it wasn’t cold enough to sway us from our determination to do 10k #running on a Sunday morning. The apricity of the sunny dawn helped a little, but we were still chilled to the bone.

8r4d A #homeowner afternoon as my sleuthing on our creeping decrease in water pressure over the last few months revealed that there was all sorts of plastic particulate in the aerators of our faucets… which quickly googled up as a hot water heater issue. So, I guess we’re due for a new hot water heater, huh?
