Step Into Action

I set 6 alarms on my phone last night. We slept through them all.As a result it was an hour later than usual when I started running, but I felt good during the morning. I didn’t feel as good a few hours later when the hills started taking their toll …

Searching for pizzaI felt pretty tired after back-to-back 71km days and was slow getting going this morning. I was slow getting ready to run and I was slow running. The hills in this area are relentless as well. Almost nothing is flat; it’s simply on…

I’m halfway!!I spent the entire morning wearing the GoPro on my head, from before my alarm went off at 4:30am until I started running. Mike is planning on doing a short video from the point of view of my forehead. We’ll see how it turns out.It was …

We’re going darkThe run today was along the cliffs of Lake Superior. It was absolutely beautiful, and looking out over the lake reminded me of the ocean, it’s so big. It actually reminded me a lot of the Sea to Sky highway from Vancouver to Whistle…
