Squamish50 First Half – My Longest Run (42km)
This past Saturday March 31st I had the pleasure of touring four friends around the full first half of the Squamish50 course. It was my longest personal run since pre-I Never Wanna Talk About It Again, which dates back to mid May of last year. Needless to say I was very, very happy with the… →

50miles Of Philly & Not A Single Cheese Steak (a photo tour)
Last week I had the pleasure of going to Philadelphia for the very first time as I joined my girlfriend who was attending a librarian conference there. We were blessed with incredible weather and lots of free time to tour around on foot, which of course is the only real way to check out a… →

100 Miles!
Well it took three full weeks of running to get there, but I’m still pretty damn happy to be able to say it. The last twenty one days have consisted of 50km – 53km – 57km for a grand total of 160k or 100 miles. Slowly but surely I’m working my way back towards the… →

Running Stupid – I Interview Ken
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Running Stupid’s very own Ken Michal in a flipping of the script as I stole his mic and took over the Running Stupid broadcast. It was a lot of fun as we traded a bunch of stories and laughs, talking about everything from The HURT 100 to WS… →

(video) 215km East Coast Trail Speed Record
On Friday, August 20th, 2010, I set out to run the 215km long East Coast Trail from Cappahaden to St. John’s in a non-stop speed record fashion. Exactly two weeks prior I had run the 75km (80km) West Coast Trail and messed up my hip (glute med) in the process. This would be the pain… →

(Video) Taking The Stage At FEAT Canada
Back in October Sean Verret asked me if I’d like to join the line up of featured speakers for the first ever Canadian version of a FEAT night (Fascinating Expedition and Adventure Talks). The premise both scared and excited me and I said yes when everything inside of me was screaming no. I only have… →

The Things You See (a dog riding a bike)
Went for a walk, got highly entertained. Unfortunately Roxy was out for a run (she trains harder than I do) as I would have loved to see her reaction to this as well. I’m still contemplating whether the dogs owner was just plain crazy, or crazy awesome? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaE1O4N5g4Y&w=450&h=315] →

A New 50 Miler Is Born: The Squamish50 (08-11-12)
After a one year hiatus for the ten year old Stormy ultra marathon we’re bringing it back with a bang for 2012. Same great location of Squamish, BC, same great date of August 11th, two new race directors (including yours truly), a new name, and a BRAND NEW COURSE! I myself resided in Squamish for… →

A Little Story That Has Nothing To Do With Running
(If you scroll to the bottom ahead of reading it steals the punchline. It’s a short posting I promise.) Not sure why this just came to me but I realize it’s been an awfully long time since I logged in here… Way back in the spring, on the same day that I crashed my bike… →

Taking The Stage
I have very little experience in the realm of public speaking, though I do love attempting to engage an audience. A month back Sean Verret from FEAT Canada (no this has nothing to do with jones fractures thankfully) contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in presenting at The Centennial Theatre, which is only… →
