Last week I did something I’ve never done before – I ran around Stanley Park. OK, that’s not entirely true. I mean yes, I did run around Stanley Park, but it wasn’t my first time. I do have some experience…wait, let me explain. If you’re not familiar with Stanley Park …

Today would have been my parents’ 56th anniversary. We lost Mom last year. However, they had over 54 beautiful years together – and we had a fabulous party for their 50th. Still, it’s a bittersweet kind of day, the tail end of one of those weeks that leaves you physically …

Back on Track – It’s All about the People

Bradley on the Run September 7, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story / Training

It was touch and go for a bit on Saturday morning. After ‘running’ into the Forerunners gang last week, I had promised myself to be at this week’s clinic. Due to my summer hiatus, I’d been sleeping in on the weekend, so morning came early. But that wasn’t the issue …

7 Days Later – Post-Marathon Musings

Bradley on the Run May 11, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story / Training

It’s hard to believe a week has gone by already. 7 days ago, my legs could barely move, I was exhausted, and I was elated. Is there such a thing as post-marathon blues? Monday I took the day off work and spent the day alternating from bed to epsom salt …

Raincouver! The Wet Coast! Yes, we all know that life in the Lower Mainland – the “best place on earth” – comes with weeks (OK, months) of cloud cover and drizzle. But I have learned to love running in the rain! Why rain sucks There are lots of reasons to dislike …

Running North of 60 (and below zero)

Bradley on the Run April 16, 2014 July 8, 2017 My Story / Training / Travel itemprop="discussionURL"2 Comments

Almost immediately after learning that work was sending me to Yellowknife for a few days, I went online to find out the best running routes in town. Because, what a great experience running north of 60! I have been to Yellowknife once before, but the circumstances were different: It was July. …
