I run, therefore I am…1081 kilometers farther than I was Dec 31 2007
I just realized something that kind of irritates me. In fact, it irritates me to no end but there’s nothing I can do about it. I won’t be at next Tuesday’s karate class because months ago we bought season’s tickets for the Edmonton Opera and we are going to the first one this [...]
Tonight’s class was preparation for the katas in the upcoming tournament but no sparring. Marilyn crawled back from the dead and managed to stick it out in class after a nasty bout with the flu but she was still a snotty nosed little brat, ha ha! We’ll see if she reads my blog [...]
OK I have a major problem with my knee. I started out fine, at well under a 7 minute pace until km 7 where the old knee popping/swelling thing reared it’s ugly head. The knee popping is especially bad going uphill, and the swelling really takes off on the downhill. So I [...]

In spite of feeling pretty run down I ran this half marathon in 2:31:07 according to my stopwatch which I forgot to stop immediately after the finish line, but only by a few seconds. I will correct the real time as soon [...]
Thank god that’s over. In a way. I am soooo sore! So I’m glad I get a rest after three solid days of karate. I get to rest all day Sunday, then Monday morning it is a half-marathon. I just hope my sore bits heal up enough.
Today’s class was easy [...]
Tonight’s lesson with Tsumura Shihan was hard work but fun. It was still a little too crowded for my taste. We practiced kicking and sparring again followed by some Bo techniques. The pace was pretty intense. I forgot my belt at home and so I did not wear one. As [...]
