Running Stories

True, it's dark. In fact, it was inky dark. We are also running on trails... something most runners wouldn't think of doing in the night out of fear of falling and breaking their necks.

I finished the Haliburton Forest 100 Miler in 28 Hours 24 minutes and 20 seconds, I had over an hour and a half to spare on the generous 30 hour cutoff...
