#darkTo

Friday, January 16th, 2009

That’s right, Toronto is dark. There’s a power outage that’s been affecting something like 20,000 homes since 10:00 PM last night.

why do people hate the loonie?

Friday, July 18th, 2008

I started taking energy gels when I do my long runs. Do I need them? Probably not – I know plenty of folks that run without them. Do they help me? Who knows. Do they taste good? Not really. But I definitely look at that as a milestone during the runs — the 45 minute […]
