NEW BEGINNINGS

So I’m back at it again.  Another year of double runs, 60-70mile weeks, going to bed sore and waking up worse, and why….Because I love this shit!!  I love training, and I love racing.  There’s something about pushing your body past limits you've never thought possible that I just can’t resist.  It’s an incredible feeling.  So I’m back in Phoenix where my neighbours are in their 70s teaching me life lessons by the pool and back training with the other Canadian boys trying to run as fast as possible and enjoying the beautiful sunny skies.  I mean do you really blame me?!!?! 

Plain and simple, I love what I do.  While people take a week long cruise trip to the Caribbean, I come here to phoenix and train, or head over to Europe and race all over the place for a month.  Evaluating last year, I’ve come to the realization that I forgot why I was doing this.  My final goal was the same but the process was all wrong.   Running became more of a job and lost the enjoyment.  I made changes in my program that, looking at it now, I can see were wrong for me, and I went in with the wrong mindset which was my downfall.

This year is about running fast and having fun.  I’m in Phoenix enjoying the process, seeing the sights and loving life.  Check back to follow the season as I looked for personal bests, qualifying for Canadian teams, and seeing the world!!
