It’s Saint Benjamin Day today! As well as the end of the month so I had to get one more run in 🙂 I have no idea who Saint Benjamin was or what he must have done to become a saint, but according to the calendar today is the day to recognise Benjamins everywhere! I, certainly, … Continue reading Run Trente Deux
Two objectives for today. First, to reach my goal of climbing 5,000 meters for the month. Second, reach my goal of climbing 5,000 meters for the month. With today’s run I logged in another 17 kilometers and 1,117 meters for a total of 5,235 meters for the month of March! March mountain madness was a… Continue reading Run Thirty One
An incredibly active day today! Biked 10K, ran 10K and walked 10K! 30 kilometers traveled, carbon footprint ZERO and happiness factor elevated! Feel great if a little tired as I also had 4 and half hours of classes. 442K run so far this year, 558 to reach 1,000k goal. This month’s challenge of climbing 5,000M… Continue reading Run Thir-tee!
It’s the first day of spring so I had to go for a run! It took me three hours to get motivated enough to get up and go, but when I finally got out there it was fantastic! I kept an average pace of 5:08/km for 10k at 51:25. Great time for me! 2nd best… Continue reading Run Twenty Nine
Spring is still a few days away (officially) but it was all blue skies and warm temperature in Grenoble today! As I had the day off i couldn’t miss the opportunity to go on a nice long run. I managed a half marathon distance; there was no stopping me today. My pace was slow and… Continue reading Run Twenty Eight
OK, so yesterday I was whining and complaining about having NO energy, NO motivation, NO nothing and my body just didn’t want to get out and be active! I woke up today with that SPARK that says “hey, old man, today you conquer than dang mountain!’ 🙂 There is just no telling what to expect… Continue reading Run Twenty Seven
It was a nice day for a run, comfortable in shorts and just a tee shirt, the sun was shinning and while there was a layer of smog it wasn’t horrible. I haven’t run in almost a week, I think sometimes our bodies send us messages when we need to stop and rest for awhile.… Continue reading Run Twenty Six
No Time for Goodbye Linwood Barclay Canada A good thriller keeps you glued to the book, eagerly turning page after page, not caring if it’s two o’clock in the morning; that’s exactly what No time did for me. It was what I wanted and expected; nothing complicated, lots of action and nail biting suspense!… Continue reading Book Twenty Two
The Deportees Roddy Doyle Ireland Always liked Doyle; The Commitments, Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha, The Woman Who Walked Into Doors and now The Deportees. It’s a collection of short stories and we all know at this point that I love short stories, right? Right. All of the stories deal with immigration… Continue reading Book Twenty One
Welllll, the good thing is that I got out for a run. What I didn’t realize was that someone put glue on the bottom of my running shoes, tied 10 kilogram weights to my ankles AND chained an American school bus to my arse. Fact. Seriously, all that and the kitchen sink added up to… Continue reading Run Twenty Five
