Yesterday with lights flashing at the side of the TCH, I was asked to get into the back of the police car. It seemed this particular officer didn’t see eye to eye with the officer the previous day who had told me I could run the TCH until it intersected with another highway that would […]
CORNWALL — Longue Sault Public School is working on a brand new development by doing what it can to incorporate more outdoor activities. The staff at Longue Sault Public School is looking forward to having Colin Harris, an athlete who is running across Canada, explain the importance of outdoor playtime in a child’s daily routine […]
Today was a good running day. Legs felt good. Nice temperature to run in. And I got pulled over the police for the second time in a week. Apparently you’re not allowed to run or cycle on the TCH in Quebec. Well… not entirely true. The officer told me that the RV could drive behind […]
Did someone say spring is coming?! It’s a beautiful day here in Riviere-Du-Loup, but a cold day more reminiscent of winter than spring! We arrived here yesterday after a run that included being pulled over by the police! I was running along when the flashing lights of the car pulled up beside me. They started […]
The last couple of days have been significant for me for a few reasons. First, I crossed the border into Quebec yesterday, which felt great!
