215 North

If you haven't already done so, and I realize many of you probably haven't, check out the following site that my friend has put up, 215 North.

215 North is a web-based documentary project chronicling the life and training of select Canadian distance runners as they chase their dream of flying the Maple Leaf at the 2008 Olympic marathon in Beijing.

Currently, the site is following a good friend, Jim Finlayson and Steve Osaduik (another local Island runner) as they have just over one year to race faster than they ever have, to run faster than two hours fifteen minutes for 42.195 kilometers, to run at least 2:14:00 for a marathon, the minimum Canadian Olympic standard for the distance.

Thanks for the post, Liam! Perhaps we'll have to get a few guest posts from a one-winged marathoner training to be an Arizona Snowbird...

- Pig Wednesday? I am one block from there.

- RVM? I resort to it agiain I think because of the proximity to home, it's convenient.

- Actually, I just drank it with Sylvan after our Tues run Killian, Red imported from Ireland. It tasted very familiar...it was good.
