I run, therefore I am…1081 kilometers farther than I was Dec 31 2007
Again I ran into trouble at the start of my 11 km today with low blood sugar. I drank some Gatorade and by km 5 - I was back to normal. The problem is that I am just eating a high fiber flax and bran cereal with skim milk in the morning for [...]
Another happy 11 km today in 1:22:52 for a 7:32 pace in brilliant sunshine. Hmmm…let’s see how many calories that would be…calculating…ah yes, that would be at least 900 calories.

We went through an extensive warm-up then practiced the x pattern using various blocks and punches, followed by a [...]

In the first lesson since the marathon, we went to the Elmwood Dojo last night. I loved that class as it was a small one and all about Kata with the Bo followed by karate Kata. We got there a bit early so after a warm-up I had a chance to practice my [...]
