Well once again I am praising Google! Thanks to their caching activities, I was able to recover all my lost comments, and even most of the comment IDs to boot! The only thing I’m missing now, and I’ll never get the info (which doesn’t bother me), is the IP address of the machine that the comment was made from. Oh well. With my backup strategy in place now, hopefully I’ll never have to go through the same pain again. Oh and thanks to Chris for reminding me that I should be thanking Dave for suggesting I go this route to try to recover my lost comments. [...]

So I somehow managed to delete all the comments on my site. I really don’t have any idea how I did it, except maybe that I was deleting old comments when I thought I was deleting comment SPAM. ARGH! I’m going to have to see if I can dig up an old backup of my database and restore at least some of the old comments… CRAP! [...] My longest ride to date and it was through the mountains (hehe) of Gatineau park. We left from Grant’s place just after 0700 this morning and took our usual route across Champlain Bridge towards the park. After climbing that damn Pink Lake hill we opted to take the route that would take us up Camp Fortune rather than King Mountain on our way to Champlain Lookout. Camp Fortune wasn’t as bad as I remembered it being which was nice surprise. I managed to drop one of my water bottles, but luckily it was on a flat stretch so I just had to turn around and pick it up rather than having to chase it down a hill. [...]  I was alone in Gatineau for the first time yesterday. Grant was in NB, or on his way back from NB, Trev was also in NB and Steve stayed home sick for once in his lifetime. I decided that after taking the entire week off from physical activity (except for Ultimate) that I really had no choice but to go and cycle by myself. [...]  Well I biked further last Sunday (the 2nd) than I ever have before. If you take a look to the left, you can see the route that I followed to get me down to Brockville. Total distance, according to my new bike computer, was 95 km. I stuck to back roads and didn’t see much in the way of traffic, which I was happy about. I had made plans with Trev to meet him in Merickville, which is about half way, at 1100. It was about 50 km from my place to our meeting place in Merickville so I gave myself 2 hours to get there, figuring I could easily average 25 kph. Unfortunately I didn’t anticipate a brutal headwind for the first 12.5 and last 10 kms of my ride into Merickville but luckily I was still able to average better than 25 kph to make it before 1100. Well Canada Day has come and gone and with it the HBC Run for Canada. I first heard about this race from Grant who told me that he and Bonnie would be running in it. Apparently they had heard about it from Alyssa who was also going to run the race. Everyone was hoping to improve on their times from the NCM. Grant has a specific goal of 42:28 in mind and I thought this would be as good an opportunity as I’ve had to finally beat Grant in a distance race. Boy was I wrong – more on that later. I had three weeks to prepare for the race but since I had just run a marathon, I figured that was more than enough time. Grant gave me a website that would spit out a training program given the time available and the number of days a week you wanted to run. I put in Grant’s time of 42:28 as my ‘goal’ time and I got my training program. It didn’t look that bad. [...] |
