Cross Canada Run

The weather has been quite warm in the last few days, making me quite thirsty at the end of my runs. I don’t carry any water when I run and I usually do fine running 11 or 12 km without water. However, the sun has been out most of the days lately so it got [...]

The thought “Life is Beautiful!” repeated in my head as I was running yesterday. I was thankful for being able to run for the last two weeks without further interruptions. My running has once again become steady after running for the last couple of weeks, thus reducing much of the concerns about injury. Most of [...]

I consciously told myself to enjoy today’s run instead of just trying to travel the distance. I have been more cautious about injury ever since I started running again and I have been mostly focused on running another kilometer without getting injured. I realized though that I should make the most of this opportunity to [...]

I didn’t sleep too well last night because we were ‘borrowing’ electricity from a local business and I felt guilty about it. It’s actually the music store where I got my guitar and the business was closed when we arrived last night so we decided to spend the night in their parking lot and then [...]

I am not sure if it ‘s true for others but I find that my bad side tends to come out when things are not going right or when I’m under stress. My fridge has stopped working for the last couple of days and the foods are going bad. I bought some ice to keep [...]

My run today was not as smooth sailing as Friday’s because I was standing around at the concert yesterday and I felt like I was dragging two big logs when I started my run this morning. The running got better after a while but [...]

My running is getting steady again after the last four days and I almost felt the day was getting too easy after the first 11km. However, my legs were telling me that they put in some decent work after I finished my 21km so I think I will keep doing this daily distance for another [...]

The run today was a lot more enjoyable for some reason. I think one main reason is the fact that I have decided to run on the pavement today for a change. I have been mostly running on non-paved parts of the road after my injury to reduce impact to my legs. The non-paved parts [...]

Just in case you are wondering, I did run today but we are still in Terra Nova Park because it’s a pretty big park to run through. We are actually staying in the park tonight and Amy is now playing her guitar, which she promised to teach me, while I am trying to come up [...]

My second day back to work was hilarious, if it was viewed with a positive light. My legs started the day off a little tired because I think they are still partially in the vacation mode. I was worrying about my ribs throughout the first 11km as they have been bothering and are starting to [...]
