If at first you don’t succeed…try…try…and try again By Sheila Dawe In 2010 I completed my first 100 km event in Lethbridge, Alberta at a race called Lost Souls Ultra.

Every Mile Matters – Know Why It Matters to YOU

Every Mile Matters – Know Why It Matters to YOU By Melissa Oltman I didn’t start running until I was 53 years old – in fact, I made it a point to tell people that I didn’t run, and I had no interest in running. Ever. The truth was, I had been interested a few […]

Every Mile Matters: April Fools Day Edition

Every Mile Matters – Tina Bond I have come to a difficult decision.  I think I am going to give up running.  The thrill is gone.  Pretty, big, shiny medals have lost their lure.  Training has become a chore.  I don’t enjoy eating all the food.  I especially don’t like that my pants don’t fit […]
