East Coast Trail 220km, Countdown Is On
No Idea Why, But Blogger Not Allowing Picture Uploads Right Now? It’s hard to believe that I’m going to be initiating this run in a little over thirteen hours from now. The last four weeks of my life have been a bit of a blur and though I still haven’t posted my West Coast Trail… →

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuSmJFSXjYc&w=450&h=340] Yes, this is 100% me trying to buy more time till I can actually get to my run report. I’m flying to Newfoundland tomorrow morning and attempting the 220km East Coast Trail on Friday, starting at 4am.

I Needed That
Sorry, still no WCT report, and I feel shame. (please use the accent from the 77 hockey cult classic Slap Shot, starring Paul Newman, if you know, you know, if you don’t, it’s funny!) Seriously though, I’m not trying to drag this out but my days are being consumed by trying to find a dog… →

Two More WCT Vids
Coupla more vids till I can get to my run report. I’ve been working every day since coming off of the trail on Wednesday afternoon so it’s been tough for me to get to things so far. I finally have a big day off tomorrow which should allow me to catch up on things properly.… →

Just To Be Clear
(BC Parks official with my finishing time) I’ve been hearing some questions in the last few days. Questions about ‘is it legit’ and how can I prove it if there was no one there at the ‘finish line’? I’m totally cool with that. HEY I GET IT! If I ever do end up running the… →

75km WCT Speed Attempt, Is A Go!
After the original goal of attempting the trail in May fell through, a secondary plan presented itself. This itinerary called for a group of eight individuals to link together and tackle this trail this past weekend. Each running their own pace, and effectively eliminating the HUGE logistical nightmare that is The West Coast Trail. Unfortunately… →

Fat Dog 100, A Volunteer Perspective
First off I have to admit that this is probably the longest I have gone without blogging in the almost four years that I’ve been doing this. Long story short, there have been some life changes as of late. I don’t currently have an actual place to live as finding somewhere in North Van that… →

A Successful Journey
I wasn’t supposed to be on the starting line of Western States 2010, yet I knew months in advance that I’d somehow find myself there. I am a stern believer in fate, destiny, and serendipitous moments, almost to a flaw really. I could tell you stories of how I ended in in New Zealand for… →
