And that’s why they (me) call me daddy long legs

January 21, 20252 Comments

I got out of carrying Toothless during our Howse Floodplain hike the following year but I … Continue reading And that’s why they (me) call me daddy long legs

First 10k Run Report

April 22, 2015December 11, 20171 Comment

This past weekend, I ran my first 10k. In school I never enjoyed running and would certainly never identify myself as a runner, so I found myself a bit surprised initially when I even considered doing this a few months back. My workplace was offering to pay the fees for the Vancouver Sun Run and … Continue reading First 10k Run Report
