    Race Weekend

    Get your attention?  No I am not running a race this weekend, at least not an official one.  But I am heading to Parry Sound to see my family and if you remember a week or so ago I mentioned that my son had been running with my wife.  Well it’s on this weekend!  I am going to challenge him to run the whole trail again like he did the other day.  Now don’t get me wrong I will make sure it is a fair race.  I will be pushing a stroller with my daughter in it and I will give him a little head start. But trust me there is something to prove and a reason for me challenging him!

    So we will see who is the fastest over the 1.4km trail, me someone who has run 5 ½ marathons and considers himself to be on his way to a full or my son, someone who’s energy level resembles that of a monkey hopped up on Mocha Gel packs and Red Bull!

    Stay tuned for a full recap of the race, including photos!  🙂

    On a side note: my training continues to progress.  I have been out a total of 3 times this week and ran a total of 26km! Things are looking up!!

    A banker by day, 35-year-old Tyler recently decided to train for a marathon. And by "decided," he means that "my wife has given me permission to train for the full." A dedicated family man with two young children (a three-year-old and a six-month-old), Tyler says it's a constant challenge to find more time to run. He says that his wife wants him to run because it's good for his heart, but he's slightly suspicious that the real reason might be because his body "was beginning to look more and more like a pear," and "she doesn't like pears." We wish him the best of luck in becoming the fruit of his wife's dreams!
