I run, therefore I am…919 kilometers farther than I was Dec 31 2007
Another 11 km today in 1:20:44 for a 7:20 pace. Very angry with myself. I would have made it a literal 4 minutes earlier if my @$^$$### left knee hadn’t swelled up. I am icing it now. It’s my last run before my road trip. Runs during my trip will [...]
I think my knee popping is gradually getting better. This is my last class for about a month as we head off to the States. We might try visiting a dojo in San Diego but not likely to happen, really. It’s just a remote possibility.
It was so hot that I got some [...]

I am succeeding with keeping my caloric intake down below 2000 to 2500 per day. My weight should drop really fast. [...]
The last class of the summer season in Devon consisted of 100% black belts and…us. New belts and certificates were given out to the black belts who ranked higher in Toronto in both karate and kobudo.
We went through an extensive warm-up then practiced the x pattern using various blocks and punches, followed by a [...]
In an amazingly-blazingly fast 1:40 (a 9:05 pace) I did…11 km. OK, so I was slower than a dead goat. So sue me. I guess my body decided that it was going out for a run on a Sunday so it must be going to be a huge run…let’s flood his system [...]
