[blockquote size=”full” align=”left|right” byline=”E.O Wilson”]If all humankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago.  If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.[/blockquote] Today was another beautiful day with a bright sun and a cool wind.  There is definitely a […]

Day 81 – 42.2 km (total – 1815.6 km)

Last night, I sat in Murray’s (the Irving restaurant) doing some work, as it was open until 11:30.  I came out to walk back to the RV and saw a clear sky filled with stars.  The night sky has seduced me many times. After university, I headed up to Fort Smith in the NWT to […]

Today, we arrived at Woodstock Centennial Elementary School at the tail end of recess.  The playground was at the back of the school, but I could hear the shouts of excitement and laughter at the front of the school.  We were warmly greeted and had a chance to chat with Mrs. Purvis, the phys ed […]

Koona is one of my best friends that helps me get outside! So I thought  I’d share a few stories about her… and she looks way better on camera than I do!

Day 78 – 41.3 km (total – 1732.5 km)

Today, I thought I’d simply share a link to this video by Ken Robinson. It revolves around the education system and how it could use an update! Including more outdoor education fits nicely into his thoughts surrounding how we learn!

Day 77 – 36.6 km (total – 1691.2 km)

Day77 Waterfall

It was actually a bit tough to leave Fredericton this morning.  I’ve met some warm and wonderful people over the past few days and have been drawn in by the city’s downtown core.  Built around the Saint John River, there is a great mix of green spaces with some wonderful little shops that contribute to […]

Day 75/76 – day off (total – 1654.6 km)

[blockquote size=”full” align=”left|right” byline=””]Quote of the day – “Do you know Justin Bieber?”[/blockquote] When I finished running on Thursday afternoon, it was sunny and warm.  Like sandal-wearing warm!  Twenty-four hours later, a snowstorm had set in which would bring about 25 cm of snow.  What made up for the landscape turning white again though were […]

Day 73 – 41.3 km (total – 1529.5 km)

I have all these grandiose ideas for writing blogs and for making videos, but my energy these days is minimal.  My brain shuts itself off by late afternoon and with it goes any sense of creativity.  So today, in the spirit of passing the buck, I want to share with you a poem. I have […]

Today’s run into Fredericton… couldn’t ask for a nicer day!

Day 72 – 49.1 km (total – 1488.2 km)

Today was long and fairly uneventful, so I’ll just share two highlights from my day. First, today was likely the warmest day yet for running.  The sun shone bright most of the day, which allowed me to take my morning and afternoon break on the side of the TCH.  It was nice just to plop […]
