Okay, so 2019 was right up there…..working my dream job, the manager of our Running Room, the ring master, in charge, an amazing staff…we had our annual 20 Minute Challenge…and everything clicked, it was an amazing day in July

I think I even went to the Folk Festival that year…..it was all good, so good…yeah, I did try to quit…

but hell, I even made it to Vancouver (I think my second time that year) and ran the Sea Wheeze!

I’ve had a few less than stellar years since…some moments that were okay, others, let’s not talk about them……moments of pleasure

Now 2022!

I’m more active than ever…something has woken me up..maybe being 63 has scared me….I made it to Vancouver, back to Vancouver finally…..

I’m running 2 Run Club groups, 3 days a week….instructing lots of virtual clinics, and getting positive vibs from that…..and yes, all that has seemed to inspire me…….lots happening, and am spending a ton of time outside and moving, pumping iron on a regular basis…..bikes, running, walking all so good

and I feel good…good about myself…..I love making out routes, training plans…organizing guest speakers, doing all I can to inspire new to this stuff, engaging and meeting the expectations of others….

and still selling shoes….yeah, some days, some issues, but then you get that customer, those customers that engage you as much as you hope you engage them…..every day I talk to others about races, events, training, share stories….talk gear……..wow…..hitting everything right on the right spot……

Okay, so I still haven’t cut our coffee and sugar, am working on kicking out milk and dairy, for some reason that cow stuff just isn’t working out for me…I am drinking everything black now….so good, and I’m learning lots, expanding my mind….all good.

The staff I work with, fantastic, supportive…and inspiring..

so, my 63rd year on the planet…….not so bad………yeah, 2009, 2010 were pretty good, two Canadian Ironman races, the NYC Marathon…….and lots of other out in the sun sunny things…….but 2022…it’s in the top 10
