How did you discover Vega?
When I was training for my first Ironman in Penticton in 2009.I also used Vega during my www.runtoremember.com my marathon a day across Canada. As a an official blogger for the Vancouver marathon I continue to use Vega
Tell us a little more about yourself
I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2005. My family was advised I might never walk or talk again. Well I walk and I talk, and I swim, and I bike, and I run. I ran the Chicago Marathon in 2007 my first. Then in 2008 I did my first Triathlon in Vancouver (olympic distance) I have taught 2 10kl running clinics. In 2009 I completed my dream. I became an Ironman in Penticton. Finishing my first ever Ironman distance event. I would not be stopped there. Next I ran the Goofy Challenge (1/2 marathon on Sat, followed by a full marathon on Sun) I have gone from couch potato, to marathoner, to Ironman I watch what I eat for the pure reason that I am a vehicle, and I need the right fuel to finish. Running a marathon a day across Canada was a challenge. I needed Vega help all the way.

Work or Run

So the Vancouver Marathon is a day away. As a result of a mistake in my scheduling at work, it appears I am working that day. I have thought long and hard about taking the day off, however that is not going to work. If I take the day off, that means that one of the other three By-law enforcement officers have to take my shift. We all work full time shifts so this means they will be working an extra shift.

 

I am also still in my first month of the job and I will be taken…

Quick Update

WOW was life ever easier when I all I had to was run and talk. Now I have to work!! I like my job. It's something that comes easy to me, I am outdoors, I get to deal with people and there is just enough excitement in it to make interesting without to demanding. My co workers are good and the location is good. The only issue is the pay is not great. 

I will keep my eyes open for something a little more financialy secure but for now I am not just trying to budget the new work…

Never Give Up

Short little run by temporallobe at Garmin Connect - Details

Nice and sunny out today. The air was a little windy with a nice smell of salt in it.

It felt so good to be out and moving again. I hit the gym after a short warm up. Feeling good I then decided to go for a brief little run.

I have had a sever chest cold the past 5 days or so on top of some other…

You have my full support here in a small BC town! I'm inspired by your courage and commitment. I will try to stop thinking of reasons why I can't train harder in the future. Best wishes on your marathon a day!

Hi David,
I am so proud of you and inspired by you. I was wondering if you would do me the favor of running a few miles for me? I have had an ongoing back injury for 15 years and haven't figured out a way to get back to running yet. Running is the most amazing sport ever and I miss it so much. I won't ever stop trying to be well and I love that you have that same kind of tenacity in you. In the mean time, if you would think of me while you are running one of your days, that would be swell.
Be Well Be Happy Be Strong
