Day 109 August 23, 2011 Winnipeg to St Eustache 40km

I felt great after four days and only a 10km run. During the run today I was stopped twice by CBC. The first time CBC drove out to film me running and do a quick interview, mostly because of Jack Layton’s recent death. Then CBC radio called for a phone interview during their lunch program. I’m getting better at doing interviews these days, mostly because everybody always asks the same questions.

On the way back to Winnipeg after I had finished running we stopped of at a gas station to dump and we met a truck driver who says that he has already seen me twice on the road, both times in Ontario. I never really thought about it but I guess some of these long haul truckers are driving back and forth across Canada and so some of them must have seen me a couple of times. That might explain why some of the truckers honk and wave so enthusiastically while others try and run me off the road.

Once back I got to swim again and then managed to get a haircut to make me look more like I belong in the military. I also made my 2^nd trip to the Apple store in as many days, this time to replace my headphones.

Tonight is my last night in Winnipeg; tomorrow I leave my bed and shower behind for some more RV excitement sans A/C in this heat!
