Running Updates

Vancouver Bound It seems like quite some time ago since we have logged on and updated the faithful followers – so I thought this is well due. To everyone who is still checking back once in a while on the website, we thank you. Keep your heads up for a new total on our donations (some still are coming in slowly), and the anticipated video from... [Read more of this review]

A huge thank you to everyone that came out on Saturday to run the last 10km with us.  We were absolutly amazed at how many of you came to support us and lifewater through signing up for the last 10km run.  Another $3000 was raised by your efforts getting the desert run even closer to achieving the lofty goal of $50,000.  Within the next few weeks... [Read more of this review]

Day 12 WOW! We were literally left speechless for a few seconds (Johnny kept his mouth shut for a record amount of time) at the welcome we received this afternoon. Since those few silent seconds we haven’t been able to stop talking about it! I guess we should tell you what actually happened. As we ran past our old stomping grounds (Richmond Christian... [Read more of this review]

This picture is not from today but still a classic Day 11 Although this run has been exhilarating and at times fun, we are all ready for it to be over. Each day we come back thinking we couldn’t be any sorer but sure enough, the next day we arrive “home” walking a little slower and a little more gimpy. I think we all turned the volume... [Read more of this review]

Day 10 The most notable natural disaster in Abbotsford’s history was a flood in 1948. The second occurred today. We flooded the town with our stunning good looks and fine running form. After a bit of a late night encouraging Johnny on as he powered through the 35km that he missed because of work in a record breaking time of 3 hours, we got off... [Read more of this review]

Day 9 So this is what it feels like to get old. We’ve started to browse craigslist for canes and walkers – we’ve found some great deals! 7am – We set out under the snow-capped mountains of Chilliwack and headed out into the fog. Today’s run was much quieter as chit chat Johnny was absent due to work. He should be arriving... [Read more of this review]

Day 6 – 8 Hold on. We have a good reason why there have been no updates the past couple days. It’s a long story involving bears, amputations and an angry park ranger so to save time let’s just say it was because we had no internet connection. It’s quite simple to sum up the past 3 days: rain. Hence we give you the pros and cons... [Read more of this review]

Day 5 Failure made a move last night. We found him waiting for us outside the motorhome when we got up this morning. No problem, we kicked open the door and squashed him (or her) against the side of the vehicle. We decided that each of us should write our experience so far in our own words. So that is what we will do. First of all, a huge thank you... [Read more of this review]
