• Grouse Grind

  Today I did the famous Grouse Grind. I did not know it was famous, but it is. Brando has this year’s record, which is impressive at 28min something… The all-time official record is 26min something… Some guy from New Zealand has done it in 24mins something – that will make Geoff happy. I did it [...]

• An ominous perspective.

  I was reading an old interview with Hans-Michael Holczer on bikeradar.com. He eluded to something ominous afoot in cycling that I’d not considered before: “If the German TV channel which paid ASO 20 million euros to broadcast has now gone, someone else will come in, but they’ll pay four or five million. I’m absolutely certain [...]

• A big day of Island life

  Today I ran 45 minutes with Sheri and Julie. Then this evening I went to a park and did 1.5 hr of yoga. I kind of felt like a page of the lulu lemon website… outside doing yoga with a view of the ocean and snow capped mountains. Sheri set the pace on the run. [...]

• Another run run

  We had a pizza party at Nick and Val’s last night. It was for Jessica’s 5th birthday. I ran there. It took 30 mins. I saw the ocean, the mountains of the sunshine coast and Powell River.

• 30 min run in Comox

  I ran 30 mins today in Comox. Yesterday I went skim boarding in Kye Bay. I can’t really remember the last time I exercised. Its been a while. Might have been the last time I went riding with the club? Tonight I’m going to make some assless Prince pants with my niece. We’re going to [...]

• For the third day in a row…

  For the third day in a row I’ve opted out of a run at the end of the day. This is not good. I have a buddy coming to Ottawa in two weeks who wants to go do big rides. I’m completely un prepared.

  Well we now know Floyd’s fate. The story led CBC radio news today, along with a truck load of 12 million bees that tipped over in NB. #
