Yesterday’s highlight of a day off entailed transferring my laundry from the washer to the dryer and realizing I had forgotten to add detergent to both loads! Oh well… I’m sure my running clothes are less stinky than they’ve been for the past two weeks. We chatted with the couple who ran the laundromat and […]
[blockquote size=”full|half|third|fourth|two-thirds|three-fourths” align=”left|right” byline=”Jill Bolte Taylor”]Your body is the life force power of some fifty trillion molecular geniuses. You and you alone choose moment by moment who and how you want to be in the world.[/blockquote] I’ll admit that I’m not functioning at an alert level right now. I’m tired and need my bed, no […]
[blockquote size=”full” align=”left|right” byline=”Irwin Kula”]Enough is not simply about being satisfied with what we have, it’s about feeling the fullness of the partial.[/blockquote] Although I still have 6500 odd to go, I celebrate the partial of my first 1000 kilometres today! When I first moved to Haliburton to work at YMCA Wanakita, this burly, giant […]
Events over the past 72 hours seem a bit skewed. 3 days ago feels like 3 weeks ago. Mmm… perhaps a slight exaggeration, but you get the point. After missing the ferry by mere minutes, the next one was at midnight – so we were told. In reality, it left at 5 am, so […]
This morning I was the happiest kid in Canada. I ran the last 7 km to the ferry and felt on top of the world. I’m pretty sure I would have attempted my best Leo imitation on top of that ferry! Oh… that ferry… but of course, there’s more to the story! Last night, the […]
It’s been a full day! Perhaps list form would be good, cause I’m tired! Roger, whose house we parked in front of last night, drove Sarah to the shop this morning to get a new belt and then drove me back east to South Branch where I had stopped running. Him and his […]
Colin Harris is living his childhood dream of running across Canada. Along the way, he’s visiting students in over 60 classrooms from St. John’s to Vancouver and encouraging kids to get outside, get active and reconnect with nature. Harris decided to run 7,300 kilometres because he’s an outdoor educator who was growing discouraged with kids […]
I have a sneaking suspicion that Newfoundland just doesn’t want to let us go! It’s almost humourous…. I’m sure it will be soon! After not being able to run yesterday because of high winds and blowing snow, I took a crack at it today. The TCH wasn’t in great shape, but it was pretty […]
High winds and blowing snow prevented me from running today. So we tried to have a bit of fun in the snow! We’re 98 km from Port-Aux-Basques.
I’ll fill you in on a little secret… walking over 7 hours a day is way harder than running 4 and a half (at least for me!). Today was one of those damp winter days where the cold gets under your skin and leaves you with the chills all day. Snow was consistent throughout much […]
