Yesterday was the longest day of my life. Get ready for one hell of a story.
This story starts a few days ago. A group of us left Virton Sunday morning and headed to Brasschaat for our final track race of the year. It was a beautiful setting. Trees surrounded the entire track and the track [...]

The night is darkest before dawn

Well, last night did not go exactly according to plan. I felt o.k during the day. Since mid-May I have been struggling with a hamstring injury. I’ve been able to manage it well, while training and racing around it. It has been a bit sore the last few days but I figured it would go [...]
Virton & FloTrack

So at the last minute, a group of us (Celia, Geoff H, Darren and Ashley) decided to go to a low-key meet in Virton. We woke up this morning in Turnhout and really had no idea where we were going. We get on the train and went to Leuven where we met a bunch of [...]
Bold coffee and short tracks

Well I’m officially halfway through my Euro experience. I love it here. The pace of life is moderate, the taste of coffee is bold and the tracks are shorter than 400m! Well, the last one is a lie. Last night our Canadian contingent made the 70 minute trek to Gent. Just as we pulled in [...]

Je Suis Paris

Sorry I’ve been gone the last few days. Here’s a quick little update: Saturday night we were in Kortrijk. It seems as though I’ve been running a 1500 once a month for the last 4 months (all within 1 second of each other). The race got the flight out of my legs and I ran [...]
Bruno & Belgium

When we heard that the much anticipated Bruno was opening early in Belgium we knew what we were going to do last night. It is one of the rudest and crudest movies I’ve ever seen but I have to admit… it was very funny. He certainly crossed the line many times but the character was [...]

From WINdsor to Frankfurt
Posted in Uncategorized on July 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So I spent the weekend in stinky Windsor. The city workers have been on strike since mid-April and the place made Toronto look/smell desirable (Toronto, as I have learned over the last year, is an awesome city to live in but the city workers have followed Windsor’s lead and have been on strike the last [...]
