I run, therefore I am…1081 kilometers farther than I was Dec 31 2007
Today I went to the indoor track and ran 7 km in 44:37 for a 6:22 pace. I like running on that track. It seems to be really cushy on the feet and they have quiet music and a water fountain. It’s a refreshing change. After the run I played in [...]

I have been resting for a whole week! Apart from my Karate classes which are pretty intense as a cross-training routine, I have just been busy at work.
I am still aiming for a marathon this summer and I have (had?) chosen the ING in Edmonton. But after reading the description of the Calgary [...]
