I run, therefore I am…1081 kilometers farther than I was Dec 31 2007
In doing spring cleanup today, we went to the Stony Plain landfill site, dumped off a load and headed to Chickakoo. What an amazing place to run! More than a few hills, though! We took our map and ran/walked the first lap. We did it in an hour and a half. [...]
…or so I discovered in last Sunday’s 17 km trail run. I think they were pretty uncomfortable compared to my Saucony’s or my Mizuno’s. They are/were still useable, but why bother when I can run in better shoes? So in today’s 11 km trail run I wore my regular Saucony running shoes [...]

The Running Room’s pack seemed as feature full and as complex as the one I bought but I [...]
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 [...]
