Well, Edmonton Marathon 2012 turned out to not be the day I had hoped it would be. In several ways. The gist of it is that I did not finish, but let’s step back a bit first. I am getting a reputation for making it to the start line in the last minute. Today was […]
A cold morning, but perfect for running! It was plus 1 degree Celsius at 5:30 in the morning. It wasn’t so cold once we got running, however. I ran the Jugo Juice 10 km, and I placed as 1st Masters runner, and 7th overall with the time 34:36. That’s a pretty slow time for me, […]

After Las Vegas Marathon, I’ve rested completely and have not tried to run at all. I need to figure out a way to get over this thing. I’ve noticed discomfort in the tendon by just walking around, especially stairs, so I don’t think there is any point to try to go for a run just […]
