How low can you go

Posted on January 20, 2012 | 5 Comments

For those of us in northern climates, winter has arrived. The wind is blowing from the Arctic and runners are bundling up. On runs my cheeks freeze and I lose the ability to make certain sounds – which is fun in that it results in amusing conversations. I’m pretty tough. I’ve never run in a balaclava. I arouse enough suspicion in my ninja gear. Continue reading →

Never, never do it again, not until the next time

Posted on January 1, 2012 | 14 Comments

It will come as no surprise to many of you that I’m a sucker for new year’s resolutions. I actually go through this goal setting process three times a year – in January along with the calendared masses, Labour Day Monday because I spent way too many years in school, and my own new year’s start on my birthday.

You are probably hungover and in no shape to think of your own resolutions, so helpfully listed are a few resolutions ready-made for any runner. You won’t find uninspired classics like run more, run faster, or run something new* on this list. This list is made up of practical resolutions for the everyrunner, just pick and choose as you desire or require. Continue reading →
