Late update…
I did 6.3 miles today and managed to arrive at Frostbite Falls, having done 60 miles so far this month. Unfortunately I think I spilled the screaming hot chili on the way but there should be enough for everybody anyway. I did not count my cross-training miles (elliptical and stationary bike). Now, after the party, on to the March 5th Hypothermic Half! I have not had much time or motivation to update this log lately. I will try to do better later…

Nice weather for a 10 miler…
Well, I just got back from my 10 mile run which I did in 2 hours and 13 minutes. I am now 23.7 miles closer to Frostbite Falls. Only 36.3 miles left to go. I am still alive. But I am tired so this post isn’t going to get any longer…

Shaky Day…

I have no details about this yet, but I do know this kind of tragedy … Continue reading

Ice Cleats Review
Short and Sweet: First run 2006. Distance 5 miles. Conditions black ice due to freezing rain the night before. Conclusion: Worth the price, will use again. I could not have walked, let alone run today without them. Remember, you can click on any picture to get a larger image, then hit the back button on your browser to return to this page. Details: They are made of rubber and are a stretch fit over your runners. They cost about $12.00 Canadian and were purchased at Lee Valley Tools. They are made by a Taiwanese company called TPR. No other info is available in the package. I stepped out my door and on the way down the wood deck steps I slipped and landed on my butt. Just a few bruises but not enough to keep me from my run. While I was down on my butt, nursing my bruises, I … Continue reading
