Saturday was a lovely day for an Ironman-themed 4th birthday party. My nephew, Thomas, has recently become obsessed with Ironman (which he pronounced “eye-ron man!!!”), so he decided that he wanted an Ironman cake instead of his previously requested Superman cake.

There are four timing points that should show up in the “results” section of that page as I cross […] →Read more
So it’s just 7 days until my next half marathon and I’m really not sure if I’m going to be able to achieve my goal of a sub-2 hour finsih. I’ve been far more diligent in my training since… well, pretty much since the first half marathon I ever ran. I completed all my hill […] →Read more

An organ donor can save up to 8 lives! 230 Canadians die while waiting for an organ donation every year. Although 91% of Canadians say they support organ donation, but only 44% have […] →Read more
