It’s been a relatively warm 15 days of in January, especially by Calgary standards. Today was the first day where frost began to build a mustache of icicles under my nose as Jakey and I slipped and slid our way through another 5K in the freshly fallen snow.

I’ve surprised myself with how I’ve maintained my normally weak discipline, honoring my resolution to go for a run every day in January. Today marked run #15, a total of 89.73km run to date. I’m well on my way to hitting my goal of +140km.

The real test will this week with daily high temperatures struggling to breach -20C. Somehow I doubt my chocolate running companion will be as eager to tag along.

I’m looking forward to the month end weigh in.

2011 was a great year!
It was a year full of great trips, fantastic memories and of course the greatest moment in my life to date, I got Married.

There’s a long list of ideas I want to chase in 2012 but the top four are:

I’ll keep track of my progress against these and post updates as we go.

Happy New year!

Sort of an early NY resolution. I’m looking to make a “come back” to road running in 2012.

Today I did a quick Google search, mostly out of Christmas over-indulgence fed guilt to track down my running history

A quick look over the numbers confirms this morning’s results from the bathroom scale: I’m getting older, fatter, and slower with an injured knee not helping things through most of this year.

So, this may be rash but I’m looking to knock out a few major runs this years, namely:

• Diakonos St. Patrick’s Day 10K – 17 March 2012
• 2012 Police Half – 29 April 2012
• 2012 Calgary Scotiabank Marathon – 27 May 2012

Running buddies warmly welcomed!

After years of too much flash and too little posting, I’ve decided to re-launch this blog.

The decision came after being nagged by my web hosting provider, time to renew my domain name. Having a .com domain with my own name as the address is a useful thing, bu I didn’t want to leave it sitting empty or unused either

The last incarnations of this blog just required too much work (15 mins vs. 3 mins) to pull a post together. In the interest of simplicity I’ve settled on this nice new clean look.

Less work should = More posting
