So yesterday I was out for a run and, as I mentioned yesterday, I’m using an iPhone app that tracks my pace. The first few times I did it, I was constantly checking my iPhone because I didn’t really have a good sense of how fast I needed to be running. Now that I’ve done […]
After the half marathon last month, Alicia and I had a chat about our next one – the Royal Victoria in October. Alicia really wants to train to improve our time on the race (as opposed to our usual “we are happy to just finish the race”). At first, I was torn. On the one […]
Way back in January, I made a deal with myself that I’m not allowed to buy any shoes in 2010, except for running shoes, which I was allowed to purchase when my then-current pair were worn out. I just bought waaay to many shoes in ’09 and so felt I really should be wearing all […]
Today the Canucks picked up free agent centreman Manny Malhotra, formerly of the San Jose Sharks. He’s originally from Mississauga, a city located next to my hometown. Also – he’s a hottie! Welcome to Vancouver, Manny!
We did it! My fourth, and Alicia’s second, half marathon is in the books!

A friend of mine made a hockey movie. ’nuff said.
The wonderful thing about being a blogger is that no matter what crazy, #$%ed up shit happens to you, you can always think, “At least this will make a great blog posting!” Which was, in fact, exactly what Alicia said yesterday when we were out for our 20 km run – the last of our […]
So, I decided to go out for a little run today. This was the path I decided to run along: Not too bad of scenery to have as the backdrop to my run, eh? And as I was lost in thoughts such as “I wonder what world leaders have gone for a run along this […]
For all the half marathons that I have done, I’ve followed the Running Room’s Book on Running‘s training plan. And by “follow” I mean I start training with the intention of doing all (or at least the majority of) the scheduled runs, but then life happens and I usually do the Sunday long runs and […]
