Fat Ass 2006... WOW !! I need a bigger shovel

If I am going to "dig deeper" (or better yet dig a hole to crawl into and die) I am going to need a bigger shovel, cause this ain't working now... Those were just some of the thoughts rolling through my head from about the 40 km mark on...

North Idaho Race Course Marking

Well I decided to try and mark out the mileage on the course after a snow storm.

Mike and Melissa's Fun Run

My training for the Vancouver New Year's Run got slightly of track over the last 2 weeks. Fighting a stomach bug just couldn't get me excited going out in wet trails. Then I missed Dom's Go Home and all all my mid-week runs last week...

Great Lake Walk

Great Lake Walk 56K 2005 Exactly one week after running my first 100 mile race I toed the line once again, this time in a local "round the lake run" @ Lake Cowichan, B.C.I was by no means fully recovered from my previous weeks race but decided that the chances of doing reasonably well were good as the bulk of the field were hikers.I had the good fortune of winning the inaugural running of this race and wanted to have an unbroken streak in something!This year was the slowest finish for me, there was just no humph in me, I felt better at the end of the run than the beginning, but I

Silvertip 50 Race Report
