Out of Isolation

It looks like my story in the Edmonton Journal has come out of isolation as well and has been syndicated across the Canwest/Global/canada.com system. So I’ve seen it in papers from Vancouver to Montreal often with people asking questions about either the Nike system or motivation along the way. I guess I can now think [...]

Little Big Run

Well, kicking out a new PB of 45:15 was pretty sweet, but getting the whole family (less one who had First Aid training today) was a real win. The weather was giving us every out under the sun (and since it was snowing and raining, there was no sun) so that we all went out [...]

1:49:40

Well, a personal best (and only right now) half marathon time of 1:49:40. In the end, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. More later.
