We’re in Grand Falls-Windsor on a Tuesday night and again, the snow has found us! The 15 cm that was expected a couple of days ago turned into a foot and a half. The snow banks in town are over my head! And tonight, the snow falls again – locals say another 10-15, but they […]
My dad grew up in Hamilton and was the oldest of 3 brothers. He was active and played football… ended up playing for the farm team of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for a brief stint until an injury led him down another path in life. So I suppose some of my athletic genes can be attributed […]
I HAD SO MUCH FUN TODAY!! I started running this morning, and my legs felt completely back to normal (relatively speaking for trying to run 7300 km) and I was able to get in about 15 km before the snow started coming. I’m not sure if it’s always like this in Newfoundland, but it doesn’t […]
On this beautiful Saturday morning, I was able to get back on the TCH and get in some miles… and in the video blog today, a long overdue and oft requested featurette tour of the RV – a 1984 Chevy Citation – home for the next 8 months!
Today is Friday the 4th, but if feels like it should maybe be Friday the 13th. I wouldn’t admit to being that superstitious, but you now when you feel like luck is not on your side? We left the hotel this morning to discover the RV had a flat tire. That took about 3 hours […]
It’s been a frustrating last couple of days to be honest… I have been lucky enough to be injury-free the vast majority of my running career, but the last few days have been rough! The good news – my IT band is feeling good. The bad news – while ducking into the bushes the other […]
Colin Harris joked when he got to Clarenville Middle School that the persistent, 43 km/hour wind and the -15 C bite in the air Tuesday morning reminded him of his hometown, Winnipeg, Man. It’s not the kind of weather that would make most people lace up their running shoes and go for a little jog. […]
Kathleen Wilker of Momentum Magazine was kind enough to write a terrific article discussing the TMO project and the importance of getting children outdoors. Please take the time to visit the Momentum website! Colin Harris of Take Me Outside is running across Canada. He’s visiting kids in classrooms and sharing his get outside, get […]
Students at Gander Academy had plenty to ask Colin Harris when he paid them a visit Monday morning, and for good reason. It isn’t often you get to meet somebody who’s running across Canada. Mr. Harris, who’s from Haliburton, Ont., left historic Signal Hill in St. John’s on Jan. 10 to start his run across […]
It’s time for another video blog! After being on the road for over two weeks now and some 300 km under my belt, I wanted to look back and share the first day with you as Sarah and I experienced it! It was a memorable day and one that is sure to always make us […]
