Thanks so much for listening and the kind words!

Happy Groundhog Day, everyone! Still running, although my km numbers were about 75-80% in January as they were in December, mainly due to taking a couple of days off here and there, and two days off when I was moving houses! The move kind of beat up my body so I had to take a few days to get...

Welcome to 2021 I guess I should update this a little bit. I did end the streak at 46 consecutive days, mostly because I was feeling run down and that I needed a day off completely. As far as where I'm at now, I'm still running most days although my knee was a bit sore after I did a harder...

Thanks so much! It's got to be so much harder in Alberta! I know things can get really cold there! Fortunately, the area I'm in now has sidewalks that get cleared so it's not as slippery as it could be, but I'm moving to a new city mid-January, so we'll see how that goes! Followed you on Strava!

December Update (We're going streaking)! So I'm still here! The Pandemic and full-on Canadian winter hasn't killed my running. In fact, I've started a running streak. It's been 3 weeks and I've run at least 5k every day. I didn't just start randomly... I was running 3-4 times a week, doing...

COVID, 6-Months In Update Hey everyone, Greetings from Toronto, where COVID isn't too bad (although numbers are spiking a bit here over the last couple of weeks). As a musician, things have been very rough with pretty much all the venues closed and all the gigs gone. There have been some...

Thank you for keeping us updated and keep fighting the good fight!

Great that you're getting back into it! I've had ankle injuries before and I know the struggles! Good luck with all the personal battles you're fighting! As you say in the title of your training journal . . . Keep Moving Forward!

Love it!

I've been AWOL for a couple of months so I thought I'd drop back in and give a brief update. If you've been following me on Strava (and if you'd like to, you can send me a message to get my name), you'll notice I've been doing some shorter runs a couple of times a week. Things have been busy...

I ran 3 miles! In one run! Woohoo! Building back up slowly but I'm trying to run every other day, going easy. Will run tomorrow . . . it's supposed to be warmer.

So, I've done some running, but I've also being going through a very busy time with work (as a freelance musician, things ebb and flow) so my running has been sporadic. Another cold snap (had some sprinkling of snow today) has also kept me indoors, but after this weekend, it's time for getting...

Thank you! and Welcome! Hopefully back to the gym this week. My back has been better and is really only bothering me a small bit when trying to sleep and generally when standing for extended periods of time. Walking actually feels good so I'm feeling optimistic!

I'm Still Here! Hi everyone. Yes, I'm still here, but I've been off running for the last two weeks. Two Fridays ago, I had a solid speed workout on the indoor track. I've cut back just in general my overall running since returning from Florida but this was a solid 4 miles of running with...

Especially after the snow and ice we got this week! Less than they were predicting but enough to make things like running annoying. And even on a day as "nice" as today (38 degrees, sunny), the sidewalks are pooled with snow melt so you can't run without getting your feet soaked. Looks like...

Update: I'm still running. I'm up to 5 miles now and have done that a couple of times at the indoor track at my old university. The weather is brutal (snowstorm today that cancelled most of my teaching but not the class I teach to the undergrads). But I'm trying to get my work in at least 4...

January 29 Update So I've done four runs on the treadmill since resuming the running on Thursday. Thursday and Friday were 3 miles each while Sunday was 3.5 miles (was supposed to be 4 miles but GI issues forced me off). Finally, I ran 3 miles on the treadmill today. It was today's run that...

Wow! The Fireworks shots are incredible! Great that you could find a spot to set up! When we saw HAF on the Friday night (10k night), there was so much action right in front of us that it was hard to stay focused on the show! I know what you mean about the snacks. My wife and I had the dining...

I think I saw you at Animal Kingdom on the Saturday (12th) or Magic Kingdom on the Friday (11th). Or maybe I didn't. Not the best with facial recognition (which is why I think I missed the meet with Lee on both the 5k morning and the marathon morning).

Post Marathon Update So things are pretty good except cold. It's -15 celsius and super windy today although the sun has come out after snowing all day yesterday. 1 week after the marathon and the body feels pretty good. There's still some . . i don't know . . squishiness? in the balls of my...
