Eleven years ago a respected colleague and running enthusiast told me about a nutritional supplement called Microhydrin. I was training for the 2000 Boston Marathon at the time, so I gave it a try. My initial interests were in how it improved my energy, endurance and recovery, but I soon realized the amazing overall health benefits of this powerful antioxidant. This opened the door to a world of nutritional supplements from RBC Life Sciences. RBC Life offers an excellent array of science-supported antioxidants, vitamin/mineral and critical support products that address cognitive function, anti-aging, immune support, digestion and fitness/weight management as well other health-giving categories. BJ and I have been experiencing the health benefits of these for over a decade.

I love trail running…hills, escarpments, trees, shorelines, singletrack, jeeproads, etc. The variety of terrain and visual stimuli can keep me motivated for hours. Most of my training takes place in the Grand River Valley along the stretch of trails between Kaufman Flats and Freeport: http://www.sju.ca/grt/mainmap.htm
The Bruce Trail is also a favourite running/racing venue: http://brucetrail.org/
I run 5 to 6 days a week with interval training & speed work on Tues/Thurs and long runs on the weekend. Baseline mileage logs in at 70-80 km/week, ramping up to around 130+km/week in prep for big events. I often enjoy training with the group at Tri City Track Club: http://tctc.kw.net/track_club.htm
Coached by Peter Grinbergs, and appealing to a broad range of abilities and distance preferences, we train in Bechtal Park, Waterloo Park and Rez S.S. (depending on the season).
My wife, BJ, is also a running companion and my biggest supporter.
Recently I’ve started logging my training at: http://www.attackpoint.org/log.jsp/user_5746
In addition to the physical workout, on most runs I’m listening to an audio book. As the miles add up so does my consumption of mentally and spiritually enriching material – completing 50-70 books/year on leadership, management, Word teaching, personal growth, education, history, biographies, language learning, classic fiction… http://kpl.lib.overdrive.com/
