A little bit about me
I ran X-country in high school and actually ran fairly well back then.  I missed qualifying for the "All England" High School championships by 2 spots!  Then I did nothing for 20 years!  Since then, I have run 2 marathons, 21 half marathons and lots of short races.
Best discipline Finding the short cut - at any distance!
Worst discipline At the moment - most distances!
Ambitions To start doing some races again
Best moment My second marathon (RVM).  I felt great for the entire race
Worst moment My first marathon (also RVM).  My big toenail came unhinged at one mile to go and I had to finish with one
shoe off.
My best results Vernon 10k (47:10)
   
   
My next event Ski to Sea
Favourite  race Penticton half marathon
Favourite piece of kit Sunglasses - couldn't run without them!
Advice(tip) Find a group of friends and run together regularly - it's cheaper than therapy!
