Dawn on the Run

This morning I got up bright and early. Yeah I know I said I was going to relax this weekend. But heh this was a spur of the moment thing and sounded like a good deal. I was off to attend a running clinic called “Run for Your Life”. Now this ended up being [...]

Like Chris I rested today and yesterday. My only activity was that of running across the field to catch the bus and that takes all of about 4 or 5 minutes. Ya know I might not even do anything tomorrow either.
Would you believe we got snow in Calgary. Shorts & t-shirt weather on [...]

Ok I’ll make this short and sweet. We had another Calgary Marathon Committee meeting tonight so I walked 25 minutes to get to the meeting after work. After the meeting I did a brisk walk up to Gord’s for my usual Tuesday night run. That was a 45 minute walk. Now after Sunday’s run [...]

First off I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful support. I really don’t think I would have finished without the thoughts of my online friends pushing me on or my friends in attendance cheering me on. A special thanks to Karen and her daughter for being there at the top of the toughest [...]

Yesterday after my Pre-Race Jitter’s post I spelled out a peptalk to myself using magnetic words on the metal door to my garage.

With that and all the great comments/support from my friends what really was a very nervous race for me I [...]

Yes I am still here. It’s just well I haven’t run since Tuesay and it’s been kind of quiet. Not much to report really.
I did some barefoot stuff. Silly me I wore a dress on Thursday with sandals. Silly cause I ain’t worn my sandals since last summer and by the end of the [...]

I did some walking on Friday. It was package pickup day for the Police Half Marathon that I am running tomorrow. From my office to the Tech Shop it is about a 26 block walk. Now I figure that is a short distance and on a gorgeous day like Friday was, what other way would [...]

If it’s Tuesday it must be another run night at Gord’s. I didn’t bother to eat before heading out. I was still full from lunch but no upset tummy, yeah! My turn to drive so I picked up Karen just after 6pm. We actually got to the store pretty early. No one else was [...]

Okay Chinese Buffets should all have warning posted. “Overeating may cause drowsiness, do not operate heavy equipment, etc.” I just had lunch with my daughter at one and honest we really didn’t eat that much but I am so stuffed I need to find a place to hide and take a nap. However, I still [...]

I took enough pictures that this story could almost tell itself but there were some things I just couldn’t capture on film, okay so it’s not film anymore but you know what I mean. The title, oh ummm, sorry to keep you in suspense, but you will have to read on to find out about [...]
