QUOTE OF THE DAY

Sports do not build character, they reveal it.

As you can see by the photo I am starting to visualized in a big way for Japan -- already have my big Canadian Flag ready for signatures, and labelled - Suwa Ko Half Marathon 2007--- and a place for my time --- It all seems to be coming together - just 5 weeks from yesterday I fly out -- will be at race site the day before which will give me a day to peruse the area.....Plan to stay an extra 3 days at Suwa Ko and will probably walk the course a couple of days after the race and take pictures of the course -- this one I want a really good record of....

Had a great workout this morning -- 1km warmup and cool down --- and did a speed 5km in between -- 31:44 for the 5km which I am thrilled at -- the combined workouts seem to be having a positive impact -- legs feel much stronger and cardio much improved -- 4 weeks to go to maximize!!!

I posted last night a video from U tube with some great Core Exercises -- was thinking of you Steve when I saw them............

Last day at the Rosedale Clinic tomorrow -- 20k with the group and then we will meet John Stanton for the Friendship Run/Walk at the Commerce Court Running Room -- should know more about the Advanced Clinic by days end tomorrow
