It was a cool day for a run but I knocked out 7k@5:18/km. I wish race days could be like this.

Now that I’ve signed up for my first marathon in May 2018 it’s time to get back on the training horse and make the rest of 2017 part of my comeback.

Sidelined from running and swimming for a couple weeks while this heals. I guess it will be biking and core work.

June has been my biggest running month of 2015. I ran over 130k and I have added cycling and swimming. I'm looking forward to the cycling as long as I can stay safe. Getting back in the pool has been fun and I look forward to the new challenges.

Winterman 10K is coming up on Feb 15 and I'm looking forward to it. Having a beard for this winter running is great too with keeping my face warm.

Only 24 days left to Canada Army Run 2014

19.5km long run coming up this Sunday.

Running Wednesday, Friday and Sunday is working well.

It was a beautiful Saturday evening to run a 10k with 10000 of my closest friends. I finished the 10k with a time 53:47.0 bettering last years time by 35 seconds. I had hoped for better but kms 7-8 took its toll again this year. Maybe next year I’ll run the course before the race or even do the half marathon on Sunday morning.

Drinking an espresso while reading up on IMPACT Body Plan.

This is a before photo from around 2002. I was at my heaviest around 255 lbs. The first 25 or so I dropped just by eating better. The last 25 has been through exercise and eating even better. My goal now is to get stronger. I know that it’s not about the weight but about how I feel. My current weight is around 205 lbs.

Great day at the Activate Expo in Ottawa. My wife and I got to meet and workout with Todd Durkin

Over the next couple months I want to be able to record my progress while doing the IMPACT Body Plan by Todd Durkin. I think having a place to reflect on my bodies progress and how I feel will be important for me. I gives me a reason to continue and to post. I will be starting the IMPACT body plan after the completing the Ottawa Race Weekend 10k. I will incorporate the foam roller and streching aspects now but start on the other exercises later. This will also support my goal of running a another sub-2 hour half marathon in the fall of 2014.
