I grew up in Dartmouth where I ran with Dartmouth Athletics and Prince Andrew High School. After graduating, I moved all the way out west to attend the University of Victoria. I completed my B.A. in English in 2007. I also competed for five years with the UVic Vikes "specializing" in the 800m outdoors and 600m and 1000m indoors. I finished with personal bests of 1:52.02 for 800m and 3:53.70 for 1500m. I also dragged my sorry self around a few cross country courses with mixed results ranging from terrible to borderline mediocre! In October of 2009 I moved back home and am currently coaching the same Dartmouth group I used to train with and working with Aerobics First at the Cole Harbour location. Come on by for a fitting (make an appointment first) or just to chat about running.
I've been running in the Nike Pegasus for years. But as I work on getting myself fit again, I'll be trying all kinds of new things out. I'll talk about some of it in my blog and list the stuff I'm liking in here.
Right from the gun. Oftentimes at my own peril.
