Ok, not really the country. But in relative terms, far from my regular ‘ole loops! I ran 18 from my friends house in Hammonds Plains yesterday, and it was a nice Saturday afternoon change. No flies, not a whole lot of traffic, rolling hills. All in all, a great run! Legs finally feeling *better*. Not perfect, but » Read More

I am verging on thinking that all I do is complain here. Based on a few solid recommendations, and a leg that still does not feel 100%, with a new symptom appearing – a troublesome, painful, but not really swollen medial collateral ligament in my right knew, I made an appointment to see Natalie Randall – » Read More

And no, I am not remembering what it was like in Halifax just a short time ago! I left the snow of Halifax behind for a short (2 days, barely) trip to Vancouver. I am testing out a new jet lag theory that sees me go for a run as soon as I get here. Lets » Read More

What a mess this was. 12 KM into a 16KM run in early February and I was suddenly hit with extreme pain in my right leg. I could barely walk, let alone run. It took me forever to get home, as I hobbled up the hills of Bedford. The pain extended from my ankle to the top » Read More

Ever get blisters? I have a MAJOR case of the blisters. Have been dealing with them for the last 5 weeks. Brutal. It is somewhat self-inflicted. It all started when I switched shoes and got new orthotics for them. For the record, the orthotics are GREAT, and the service is awesome. If you need some, I highly » Read More

I just could not get it in the calendar yesterday….so I ran this morning a quick (and brisk!) 8 KM. Really, I should have done it yesterday. But like I said, there was just not enough time in the day. So if you run a recovery run a day late, is it still a recovery? I » Read More

I figured I should start with a bang. Appologies for this first post taking so long. It has been quite the spring. My travel schedule has been brutal (two weeks thus far this year in which I did NOT travel) and a leg injury. Not exactly good on the brain in either case. Over 50,000 miles so » Read More
