Hubs volunteered for our friend and Yoga instructor, Sheree from Live with Spirit. In fact, Hubs did warm up stretches for the runners under Sheree's direction. Too funny.
I spent the morning helping out Natalie, my boot camp instructor (Cardiocore Bootcamp). It was a fun morning, and it was nice to be a spectator/volunteer for a change.
Although this event is a fun run, there were elite runners at this event. Danny Kassap won for the men's event by completing the 8K race in 24:39.
The women's winner was Stephanie Summers, my instructor for my first half marathon clinic. She sailed past all of the "competition" and she just had a baby to boot. Way to go Stephanie! Both runners broke course records.
Another elite runner that came out to watch the event was Ed Whitlock. Ed is a world record holder for running a full marathon under 3 hours and at the age of 73!!!!!! He came out to support the event and cheer on runners. Of course Hubs chatted it up with Ed, and got his picture taken with this running legend.
Ed is well known for doing all of his training runs in a graveyard in Milton, Ontario where he lives. He says it keeps him motivated. I guess so........
The running world has so many great people with inspiring stories!
Thanks for reading!

Wow! sub 3 hr marathon at the age of 73?!? That is amazing!
Holy, I think my friend Alan and Ed would rock the age group. Alan just came back from Boston, the only Canadian in his age group, 75!! He just turned 76 last Friday and ran the 1/2 in Ottawa!
But a sub 3, Holy Yikes!!!
Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let
you know. The style and design look great though!
Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers

With havin so much written content do you ever run into
any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My site has a lot of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being stolen? I'd
genuinely appreciate it.

Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's very hard to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Internet explorer. Outstanding Blog!

First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head
prior to writing. I've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thank you!

Have you ever thought about including a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all.
But just imagine if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips,
this site could undeniably be one of the very best in its field.
Terrific blog!
