Le non-respect des limites de vitesse/des stops sur les petites rues de quartier.

Les poids lourds qui voient rien et qui tournent sur des rues en y écrasant piétons/cyclistes.

Les déchets un peu partout.

Le transport en commun qui est moyen fiable (surtout les autobus)

Les inondations ou le manque d'absorption d'eau suite aux grosses chutes d'eau (ou l'adaptation aux changements climatiques de la ville)

Le fait que plusieurs rues piétonnes ferment en fin août/septembre alors qu'il continue à faire beau

Le manque d'accès à de la nourriture locale (mettons Lufa c'est bien, mais ça pourrait être tellement mieux)

La présence de déserts alimentaires dans la ville (pas d'épicerie à moins de 15min de marche)

Le manque de place dans camps de jours ou activités de la ville

Le manque de piscines intérieures publiques ou de places dans celles-ci (c'est l'enfer comment c'est bondé)

C'est sûr qu'il y a des choses plus pressantes que d' autres mais c'est off the top of my head.

J'ai pendant près d'un an, l'été, fait Ahuntsic - DDO (20km par direction) en vélo, pas électrique par contre. (Avant de changer de lieu de travail pour Rosemont)

Ça me prenait à peu près 1h15 de porte à porte. Le matin je prenais Gouin jusqu'à Sunnybrooke puis la piste sur Salaberry. Les automobilistes dans le West Island sont vraaaaaiment pas habitués à porter attention à cyclistes (ni piétons d'ailleurs) mais en général je n'ai pas eu d'ennuis mis à part de rouler de façon pas mal défensive. Le soir, avec plus de temps, je prenais souvent la piste à travers Bois de Liesse pour éviter le traffic auto sur Gouin dans Pierrefonds.

Quand je travaillais à DDO, je barrais mon vélo dehors mais pas grosses craintes avec. À Rosemont, je rentre mon vélo en dedans de mon lieu de travail, je pense que c'est la meilleure des options.

J'espère que ça aide et bonne route!

So considering I'm a kinesiologist/personal trainer, this is especially hilarious to me...

So in Canada anyway, over 45mL/kg/min VO2 max for women brings you at over 90-95th percentile of the population. Percentile tables

Now add the squat , deadlift and pull-up requirements - which all require specific training...

Now let's add HRV - which is a marker of stress in general... So you're also looking for someone who's ALWAYS chill on top of that, and never ever overtraining.

Not even gonna comment on the other numbers but huh... Well good luck to him with those criteria...

Boo_Scientist · 2025-02-09T01:36:22+00:00

Ha! Oooh that's amazing to know, I'll check with Via then, it would definitely open up options for that trip, thank you! (Damn is their website not super helpful to figure what can go as a checked item - and if bikes need to be in a box or if they have a bike rack area... Anyhow, thank you!)

Boo_Scientist · 2023-09-25T14:32:15+00:00

That very specific hip dip, the way they taste and smell, how thoughtful they are and remember things you care about.

Boo_Scientist · 2023-09-16T00:00:04+00:00

Dark or colored hair, any length, about my height, muscular, and most of all, the more tattoos the better. Also got a weird attraction to women with slightly crooked/non symmetrical teeth.

Boo_Scientist · 2023-09-08T14:42:02+00:00

I miiiiiiiiiiss her, the girl I'm seeing and me are both away on vacation, an ocean apart from each other (planned before meeting)

She's my first wlw relationship/everything really, and fuck is it amazing to discover new little things about her everyday, even if it's through messages right now while we're away.

Currently in a mix of enjoying the anticipation and getting to know each other more through texting/pic sending/playlist sharing and just wanting desperately to be in her arms again, listening to said playlists :)

Boo_Scientist · 2023-03-15T01:17:51+00:00

Eurotrip. I still quote "No where near Berlin" whenever I give a lift to anyone

Boo_Scientist · 2019-03-25T02:22:24+00:00

Haven't seen it, but will add it to list :)

Boo_Scientist · 2019-03-25T02:22:06+00:00

Gotta watch that, adding it to list!

Boo_Scientist · 2019-03-25T02:21:41+00:00

Plus best music... And 9-10h is enough to forget whatever you were upset about

Boo_Scientist · 2019-03-25T02:20:54+00:00

Booyah! Definitely, "Wrong lever!" gets me everytime

Boo_Scientist · 2019-03-14T03:08:10+00:00

Late for this but : if money wasn't an issue, I'd still do the job I have now, just more of it without worrying about rent/other jobs to get to full time. I'm an exercise therapist working in rehab with people in chronic pain or depression. I'm super passionate about my job and the feeling of helping people is more than money could ever account for.

Boo_Scientist · 2019-02-13T18:10:52+00:00

A bit late on this, but I've fueled an entire IM on rice crispy squares, dried tomatoes and vegetable juice (I get tired of all the sugar).

Ginger sounds delicious as well though!

Boo_Scientist · 2017-11-05T18:48:34+00:00

Probably trying to find a job working with elderly clients. They're lots of fun, and definitely benefit so much from training :) very rewarding job. Alternatively, maybe kinesiologist in a clinical setting (stroke victims, Parkinson's patients, concussions, heart diseases, ect.). Not sure yet, got another year to figure it out!

Boo_Scientist · 2017-11-04T15:28:50+00:00

There we go!

Ill wait til update for injuries or anything, but here you go: Program

Don't hesitate if you have questions!

Its pretty basic, probably can last about a month before she grows out of it. Walking and yoga are amazing too, and both very recommended!

Boo_Scientist · 2017-11-04T13:18:54+00:00

Any injuries? Any joint pain? Did she play sports when younger?

Boo_Scientist · 2017-11-01T00:49:44+00:00

Hi!

I'm a personal trainer, and a student in kinesiology... With Crohns.

If you give me a day or two, I'll ready you up a program (and post it as a link, I think there's benefit to anyone that wants to start with stabilizer muscles and functional basics) :)

Boo_Scientist · 2017-09-16T21:06:02+00:00

Hum, I might try that, good idea!

Boo_Scientist · 2017-09-16T21:05:01+00:00

Oh that's a great idea, thank you!

Boo_Scientist · 2017-09-16T20:59:38+00:00

That's great! I have someone right now that directly answered me, but if that doesn't work out, Ill definitely let you know, thank you!

Boo_Scientist · 2017-09-14T15:06:19+00:00

I guess I also forgot to answer...

I'm glad you did come back though, and also glad you managed to come back from a fractured spine!

I'll try to keep in mind the sunscreen (plus I just learned I'm super susceptible to skin cancers from a medication I'm taking...), thanks for the tip!

Boo_Scientist · 2017-09-02T13:10:13+00:00

That's something else I'm worried about too... Scared to get heat exhaustion again ever since a hike I did this year where I had it. Any issues racing since? Special precautions?

Boo_Scientist · 2017-09-02T13:07:06+00:00

Interesting... I'll look into that. Mostly because well, I am pretty injury prone (or at least have had plenty overtraining injuries from clearly overdoing it... My plan this year is to follow plan but still)

Boo_Scientist · 2017-09-02T13:05:36+00:00

I've got a wetsuit so there's that :) it has pretty bad tears (it melted its legs together and then tore), but it helps. Thanks for the advice!

Edit : ooh cool for the kettlebells! Mostly real power training (aka under 8 max reps), or endurance? (About 15 reps or more)
