Thanks guys
When your legs get tired, run with your heart.
Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary.

Re: The lamest reindeer of all
I can't believe I only noticed this now! Very cute. What do we get to be next? Can we go back to famous runners to get us fired up for the new year?

The lamest reindeer of all
I know we can include Olympic runners from this year, but here are some Canadians who have actually won stuff, set records, etc. I had heard of a few, but Pat gave me many of these, and I was inspired to find out more about them. I think it's good to know our history!
Sylvia Ruegger
Percy Williams
Johnny Miles
Tom Longboat
Bruce Kidd
Bill Crothers
Jerome Drayton
