Greece and Brazil
Last night I ran for about 40 minutes with the Roadrunners from Gord’s, as part of their monthly Club Night Social. I went straight from work to arrive early enough to buy a new pair of trail shoes (zoom in to see the cute snowflake, etc. on the lace holders) and a few more gels for long runs.... Read more...

Loopy Group
Last night I made it out with the Calgary Roadrunners 10k group on the river pathway near Edworthy Park. Check out the new summer workout schedule - it looks like our Thursday hill workouts have new names. Ha! After our usual warm up jog, drills, crunches and push-ups, we ran 10 x 60/60s. This is...

Swam Again
This Monday night swim habit is very nice. Last night I swam two laps of breast stroke before tackling ten laps of front crawl. I did all ten laps (500m) without stopping for more than 5 seconds between laps. I’m pretty sure I’ve never swum that far all at once. I realize that 500m is merely... Read more...

Farmer’s Market & the Scenic Route
Today I rode “Stretch” (my bike) out west of Calgary on the #1A. This highway west of Calgary is a popular route for cyclists. There are very broad shoulders in both directions and the gently rolling prairie has no intimidatingly steep hills until one gets to Cochrane. I didn’t ride all the... Read more...

Good Company
“Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.” - Izaak Walton Last summer I did not do enough long runs to accomplish my goal of running the Moose Mountain 29k. This year I have the same goal, but a different strategy. I am much more likely to get myself out for a long one if I have... Read more...

Do Si Do and a Flag Hunt
It’s Stampede Week here in Calgary. That means everyone wears country western clothes to the office and there is a festive mood throughout the city. Many companies and communities host big pancake breakfasts and socializing is part of doing business. I work in a small office, so today we all... Read more...

Playground Running
Tonight I was the parent du jour, so skipped the usual Tuesday night Roadrunners appearance and took Little Runner out for a neighbourhood tour. She rode her bike while I jogged within a half-block range. It wasn’t long before we came to a playground near a big hill and a field. She parked... Read more...

Blinding Progress
Last night I swam for the third Monday night in a row, and I am making progress. It’s still a very short distance compared to anyone who swims regularly, but compared to myself earlier this season, it’s great. After a lap of relaxed breast stroke, I eased into a slow front crawl, reminding... Read more...

Marathon Weekend
I didn’t race at the Calgary Marathon this weekend, but I still got to hang out with some of the crazy nuts who work behind the scenes. I still had to squeeze in a run somewhere, so Saturday morning I got up bright and early for a hilly 55 minute run on my favourite neighbourhood trails. The... Read more...

Summer Celebrations
This was one of those weekends when there are so many fun things to do around here it’s overwhelming. Friday morning Little Runner and I got up bright and early. We left the house at 6 am to take the train downtown by 7; backpack, lawn chairs, cowboy hat and boots included. Our pics of the... Read more...
