only six of our award winners were able to attend,
Adam Kalab was on the scene and took some photos.

So You Wanna Be A Yogi
a new illustrated book by Krystel Houle (yogi,
runner and mom)
|
Krystel Houle
|
This illustrated and
informative guide to all things yoga is sure to amuse
you. Developing a personal yoga practice can be overwhelming.
Let the Cartoon Yogi show you the way in her casual
and playful manner. So You Wanna Be a Yogi contains
valuable information that yogis of all levels can
benefit from and impress their yogi friends with.
Let’s bust some common yoga myths & misconceptions!
Learn about all the different types of yoga, where
to start, why start, how to talk, how to walk, how
to breathe, how to eat...and what’s the deal
with chakras anyway? Written and illustrated by a
certified yoga teacher who draws yoga better than
she does yoga.
This is my biggest
(and most time consuming) project to date and the
one I'm most proud of, so I'm VERY excited to share
it with you! Happy World Book Day!

Running around
the World – All 40,075 Kilometres
by Martin Parnell
| |
Sometimes you
take a leap of faith and you have no idea
where it’s going to lead. You make a
decision that takes you out of your comfort
zone and things are never the same again.
This happened
to me on Friday, December 20th 2002. It was
a snowy day in Sudbury, Ontario and in the
late afternoon I got a call from my brother
Peter. After some small talk he came to the
reason he called……… he wanted
to challenge me to a marathon. Without hesitation
I accepted and hung up.
Now, the problem
was I was 47 years old, over-weight and had
never run. However, you never back-down from
a challenge from a younger brother. That night
I put on my tennis shoes, cotton pants, fleece
top, toque and mitts and headed out. I ran
one kilometer out and one kilometer back.
It was terrible.
The next day
I ran 2 kms out and 2 kms back and it was
twice as bad. I realised I needed help so
I joined the Sudbury Rocks Running club. Under
the guidance of Vince Perdue and other members
of the club, they taught me about what to
wear, hydration, nutrition, electrolytes and
pacing. My running journey had begun.
Fast forward
to 6.00 pm Monday February 17th 2020 and I
had just finished 15 km on the treadmill as
part of my Boston 2020 training. Now, that
was 17 years 59 days (6,298 days) ago and
over that time I’ve covered 40,075 kms
which happens to be the circumference of the
earth.
So what happened
between that snowy day in Sudbury and the
treadmill run? Well, here are some of the
adventures running took me on with RUNNING
THE WORLD BY THE NUMBERS:
|
2.0 km First run on
December 20th 2002
3.0 km The Secret 3k, Global
5.0 km Footstock 5 km, Cochrane, Alberta
10.0 km Terry Fox, all over Canada
12.0 km Grim Challenge, UK
16.0 km Gorilla run, Calgary
21.1 km Ottawa Half Marathon
42.2 km Calgary Marathon
42.2 km London Marathon
42.2 km Marathon of Afghanistan

80.0 km Fernie Ultra
82.1 km Golden Ultra
90.0 km Comrades Marathon, South Africa
100.0 km Rarotonga Quest, Cook Islands
106.0 km Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
126.6 km Boston (2004, 2008, 2010)
125.00 km Canadian Death Race
146.00 km Sinister Seven Ultra
160.00 km Lost Souls Ultra
193.00 km TransRockies Stage Race
1014.0 km South West Coast of England
10,550 km Running 250 marathons in one year
40,075 km Complete Running the World on February 17th
2020
So the first spin around the earth
is done and it’s been a blast. Time to turn
around and head back the other way. Who know what
challenges and adventures there will be on the return
journey.
