I ran for Beer?
I ran for Beer?
“Sometimes we all just need to lighten up and have fun. Life is short and racing is great but fun is a must.”
Okay – so I don’t even drink so why would I sign up for a run/race that has beer as theme? Why not? The 5k race was on Saturday August 27th on a hot summer morning along the beautiful Rideau Canal in Ottawa.The run was to coincide with a craft beer festival put on by Ottawa’a craft beer…

“You only have one life so enjoy it, live it and be different!”
I have worn glasses for a long time now and do not foresee a time when I will be without them. At one point I wore my glasses in school but did not run with them (my prescription was not that high). My eyesight has gotten worse over the years and I like to see a little more clearly on runs. I needed glasses I could wear at work, home…

Talking with John Stanton-a fellow running dad
Talking with John Stanton-a fellow running dad
“Canada has a series of stores for runners called Running Rooms. They and their founder have grown running in Canada.”
I had the privilege of chatting with fellow running dad, runner and founder of the Running Room, John Stanton.
I grew up on the east coast of Canada and when I started there were no running rooms and not a lot of information or gear available for runners. I absorbed everything my…

A friend running long for a reason
A friend running long for a reason
“Run long and then run some more.”
I love when runners do good on foot. Here is a story about a friend, fellow running parent and Ottawa runner set to do a very long run for a good cause.Read about her and her 210km run from Montreal to Ottawa (in Canada).
Having run from Kingston, ON to Ottawa, ON (258km in 2.5days) last year (October) (link to my run story) for my 40th birthday while raising…

HOKA's Beefy Betty
HOKA’s Beefy Betty
“Training, running and planning properly requires hard and easy days and hard and easy weeks – shoes for each of these type of days help too.”
My old runningdad feet seem to need more care and love than when they were younger. I have in the past few years moved a bit away from more minimal training shoes and more towards cushion for easy runs and long runs. My feet get more tired (and the body)…

Taking some pressure off
Taking some pressure off
“Life and running are about change but sometimes you don’t see it coming till it hits you.”
So what the heck does that mean right? Well it means this skinny 40-year old newer running dad is realizing that he is still having trouble transitioning to dad life. And I need to make changes.
Dad life
Maybe I am not the most natural dad. Love my daughter but the change to my new life has been hard for…

Holy HOKA!
“There are shoes for everyone but it is not always easy to find the ones for your feet!”
I have been running for almost 30-years….say that a lot don’t I …sorry. Sometimes it just seems odd that I have been running that long. Over the years I have run in almost every brand of running shoe and tried many models and many different running shoe technologies and philosophies.

Week 3 on Dylan Wykes plan
Week 3 on Dylan Wykes plan
“I have a tendency to aim for the clouds when still only at 500ft but if you don’t try – you don’t know.”
I am almost done week three of my marathon plan for an October marathon in Vermont. I am training under the guidance of Canada’s second fastest marathoner ever (Dylan Wykes) and his coaching program (Mile2marathon).
This will not be a novel-length update but just a snapshot as to how things…

“Going for a run is often an adventure and many of us want to capture and share.”
XSHOT Sport Pole
This is the fun part. Ever taken your cell along with you and taken a few selfie run pics? Well how about a sturdy, sport extendable selfie stick that can hold your cell phone or attach to a camera.
The Xshot is easy to extend once you get the hang of it (twist-locking) and has a clip for a cell…

Interview with a running writer
Interview with a running writer
Two blogs about running books in one week – insanity! But when I had the chance to talk with my friend and Canadian runner JP (Jean Paul Bedard) about his new book – I jumped. I love running and I love writing – and promoting both.
JP
Jean-Paul Bédard is an author, advocate, elite endurance athlete, and was named one of the “50 Most Influential Canadians” by Huffington Post. Jean-Paul was…

A full serving of running reading
“Sometimes a runner needs to fuel the mind and not just the body.”
I love running and writing (not that great at either lol) but know I read well! Books were always something I escaped to as a youngster and I still find books a way to unwind and go somewhere else (in my mind). Books can entertain, inspire, inform, make you laugh and nourish your soul – or so I think.
Here is a running dad review…

“No one ever knows it all. Sometimes the advice of some one with more experience can make all the difference.”
It has started today. Another running adventure. This time I will be guided on my attempt to tame the might marathon mistress with the help of Canada’s second fastest marathoner ever.
I have used the online training program from Canadian marathon beasts (Vicsystem) Eric Gillis and Reid…

“Any ole sunglasses will block out some sun but only good ones will do a good job and look cool at the same time.”
I have been running for almost 30-years. For most of my life I have also worn glasses as my eyes seem to slam shut when trying to poke contact lenses into them and just not sure about laser eye surgery. In the past I have occasioanlly work sunglasses but they never did a great job. I…

Fallen for a Fall Marathon
Fallen for a Fall Marathon
“You so quickly forget the pain, the struggle and often the defeat a 26.2 mile race can bring.”
Before I get to my fall plans – here is a quick recap of my spring adventure.
Ottawa marathon
So the May Ottawa marathon was not a complete success.
I had started putting some miles in early in 2016 but was taken out in the month of March by a bad cold (got a cold, gave it to my daughter and she…

Finding Fast Eddy
“There are those who think about doing something and those that do.”
Just a few weeks ago I met and ran with a fellow Canadian I profiled for Canadian running magazine (click here for the blog article). Edward Dostaler or Fast Eddy is running across Canada (twice)(Yes you read that right) basically unsupported (other than help where he can find it) raising money for Alzheimer’s and breast cancer…
