Day237

It’s been fun going back into some schools and feeling the energy of a new school year.  The students at St. Michael School were full of questions and we had a great time together!  One of my favourite moments was running a lap with Matthew after the other students had gone back to class.  Matthew’s […]

Enjoying the first school visit back after the summer holiday.  The students at Grant Road School in Regina were great – it was a beautiful day and we were able to meet outside.  Thanks to Mark Wilson for helping set this visit up!  Felt good to be chatting with students again! Having some members of […]

Even on the road (aside from the running part), the conversations I’m hearing revolve around the summer being over – it’s back to school!  Across this country, students have either started their first week of school or are close to it.  Parents are readjusting to the routine required to get their kids to school and […]

Did you ever have braces or wear a retainer when you were younger?  A lot of my youth was spent in the sterile environment of the orthodontist’s office.  I went through several retainers, one of them called a Frankel, which I was never seen in public with, as it puffed out my cheeks and prevented […]

I have just returned from my parents treating me to a nice meal before saying goodbye and driving back to Winnipeg.  They were kind enough over the past few days to help me out as I ran west of Winnipeg, but as of tomorrow I am on my own again for awhile. I can’t express […]

“Dad, what would you think about joining me at Thunder Bay?” When your son gives an invitation like that, it’s difficult to refuse. So on August 1 I boarded a bus from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay, and 12 hours later Colin and I enjoyed a pizza together. Thus began a journey that has been unlike […]

Day 214-220 – 196.8 (total – 5335.4 km)

The morning started at the Legislative building in downtown Winnipeg, where CBC came out to cover the story.  We left the RV at home, but my mother decided to help be the “driver” today using their car for little breaks along the way – thanks Mom! It was fun running down Portage Avenue, reliving some […]
