Silvia Rueggar – an inspiration for me! Canadian Marathon Record Holder, Christian, U of G Grad, and National Director of Start2Finish Running and Reading Clubs I finished another solid week of training this morning with a 40 km run for a total of 165 km. I did my intervals (6x1km) later in the week so as to recover from Sunday’s …

Thanks for a great article, Canadian Running magazine!

Finishing the Rock the Road 10 km race in London. Race went well. Felt strong and steady but I gotta say, I don’t love 10 km’s (yet)! Seems that they hurt as much as a 5km but last longer! You just don’t get into a rhythm like you do in the longer ones. But, I was able to knock off …

Well, I successfully finished 3 weeks of 160 km/wk and all is well. Long runs were: 35, 42, 34 km and tempo and track intervals were bang-on. Today I enjoyed the day off, which started with me watching Dylan (20th), Eric (22nd) and Reid (27th) run a great race in London. Very proud of those guys! I’m now at my …

So here is the Start List (pg’s 32-33/65) for the 2012 Olympic Games Men’s Marathon. Seems like it’s been a super long wait to finally watch Dylan, Eric and Reid (I’m sure they are MORE than ready to get their show on the road!!).

in the world not of the world 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is …

Photos taken by Brantford Road Rebels. I enjoyed my two down weeks, which included 140 km and 120 km of running (and swimming and biking) and … lots of ice cream. Yep, that’s right. I splurged. I ate anything I wanted. The funny thing is that there are many things I could have eaten but had absolutely no desire to …

Plan B. Let me take you back two months. Shortly after returning from Rotterdam where I ran a PR and breakthrough of 2:32:06, I started to re-think my next plan. Coach Rick was recovering from surgery so I wanted to give him some time. Meanwhile I asked a few people for their thoughts about the best route for my running …
