Cross Canada Run

I was tired before I even started running today. I had to drive ahead today so that I could run back to the gas station where I had luck getting a ride last night. I got lost a couple of times on my way driving to the point that was 31 km from the gas [...]

My first day running in Nova Scotia got a slow start because we had to run to the grocery store before I can start running as the next town is two days of running away. The fridge has become pretty empty and we only had two drumsticks left in the freezer because we (mostly I) [...]
