Winter???
I just got to Rio a few days ago and was greeted by extreme, humid 38 degree heat. Do these people really have the nerve to tell me it´s winter???
I discovered an amazing way to increase your running speed and stamina. I think I should market my idea as a training tool. Here´s how it works:
1)Start your jog from your nice, cushy Ipanema hotel (or hostel) at about 5:15pm and head for the 7.5 km loop around the lagoon.
2)At about 5:35, when you are halfway around the lagoon you realize the sun has set and you are in the middle of Rio - very close to the favella (you know, the place where the movie City of God was set).
3) Get scared.
4) Run like you´ve never run before.
I need some updates from home. In particular, what´s going on with the Canucks. Have they signed anyone? Are we going to the cup?

Great pictures.Your running reminded me of Josef Skala who went to the cross on the mountain and ,after meeting some not too friendly locals,was left there in his underwear only-all his other possesions were taken...
But I do not want to scare you.

Brendan Morrison had a birthday the other day - a whole crew was spotted at the Salmon House, the twins, Nazzy, Bert showed up, Cloutier - I think even Brashear was there?? Check out this dude's blog for all kindsocrap.
Be safe and enjoy all! See you when you're back in V'groovy!
P.S. My shoe size is a 7 or 8 - in and around there somewhere... so maybe a 7.5?
Hey Tom! Just had to tell you how much I am enjoying your blogs and photos. Keep them coming and hope you continue to have an amazing time!
