Run – 2019.01.19
Saturday I went out for my first run since returning to Halifax from the Philippines. After weeks of running infrequently, I'm hoping to be out running most days and to get back to a strong pace. [...]

Run – 2018 September 8
This morning it was just a week until I run a marathon, so I went out for a long run again. Next week will demand a push, but I'm getting accustomed to the kind of endurance it will take. I ended my run at the Central Library and then enjoyed seeing some flowers at the…
Sunday 20K
I ran 20km from my home in Halifax, across the bridge, through Dartmouth and out to Eastern Passage this morning. It was my longest run in nearly 2 years and I was happy with it even though my pace was higher than I am used to. I plan to take longer runs like this to…
Run – 2018 August 5
I spent the weekend working from my couch, so runs to start my Saturday and end my Sunday were essential. It felt so good to get out running tonight and move after staring at a screen so long. My weekend pace below 5:00 held even though I felt a bit sluggish at first.
Run – 2018 July 15
I've been happy with my weekend runs. I've been able to maintain a pace below 5:00 fairly regularly since switching to forefoot running, and I'm feeling good about ramping up ahead of running a marathon for the first time in September.
Run – 2018 June 16 & 17
I enjoyed two runs through great weather this weekend, heading in opposite directions from my home. Saturday's run took me past a beautiful piece of art on the side of an apartment building I hadn't noticed before. Today my focus was again on building forefoot habits, and I was able to lock in the pace…
Run – 2018 June 10
I had another sub-5 pace run this morning toward Point Pleasant Park. Forefoot running has been good for my times so far and it feels like I'm gaining strength. It doesn't hurt that I'm running after beautiful views.
Run – 2018 May 27
I enjoyed a run from my home to the waterfront this morning. I have been trying to build the habit of forefoot running this week and I'm very happy with the results. I was able to run 5 km with a pace reliably at 5:00 or lower, my best results this year. I know that…
Zombies, Run! Season 7, Missions 1-6
Zombies, Run! season 7 started with a surprising disappointment for me. In season 6 the villains were fascists and there were moments with great lines and heartening stances; the game had never been better. The latest season begins with the setup of a cannibal anarchist biker gang as an antagonistic faction. It's a frustrating, misguided…
