Hello friends. Do you love shameless self-promotion? I do.
Starting today, I'll have a daily (Monday-Friday) online column at irun.ca. Fridays are Video Day. Each day of the week will have something a little different, so go ahead and check it out everyday. I spoke to each of your bosses, and he/she said it was okay. Tell your friends, tell your enemies.

Re: Up To Speed
very cool, dave! (the column AND today's video)
Re: Up To Speed
I hate shameless self promotion. That's why I won't tell you about the re-naming of my blog from 2009 Blog Idol Winner to "Endorphin Junkie" and how excited I am about it and how you can just click my www button below to see it 
Hey, maybe that's what I should change my name to, now that I'm not so "gnu" around here anymore...but Turd Ferguson appreciates the implausibility of gnu...or would if there were more than one. Wait...what?
I loved the video today too, dgrant! Very cool. Looking forward to your daily column!

Re: Up To Speed
So, what am I missing? I can't find the video. Do I have parental guide turned on or something?

Re: Up To Speed
You want video? Check out AirForceRunner and I in the 5 Peaks Horseshoe 
race, we're the last runners shown. 
No world records were harmed in the making of this video.

Re: Up To Speed
Great video Dave!
Thanks for that.
Thanks for that.
Re: Up To Speed
Besides the great race, I also loved hearing Don Whitman's call of the race. He called some of the best races on Canadian TV: Ben Johnson's WR, Donovan Bailey's WR, the 4x100m gold medal in Athens, and Simon Whitfield's gold in Sydney. I miss hearing Don Whitman.

Hmm, not sure. I was just adding something new (Alanis Morissette's first marathon yesterday) and it seems to be okay. Maybe try refreshing / deleting cookies?

Re: Up To Speed
Twice now in the past week I've come across new article links from letsrun.com that you'd already beat to the punch in your column (Iowa Marathon and Adidas vs. Puma). Very cool!

I haven't been able to go back and read previous articles either. Weird...I'm technically challenged, but not that badly.
