Unbreakable - at least so far!


So the #BeastStreak and the December Challenge (#DFDC) are but a week old and even though I logged just over 57kms in that time I nearly broke on the second day. The aim of the two challenges is simple, motivation to cull that complacent tendency most of us have which takes over during inclement weather or stressful, busy days. A kick in the pants to give yourself 30 minutes of much needed fresh air and exercise. A chance to clear your head and appreciate a surge of rejuvenating energy whether you are at the beginning or end of your day.

On the second day I sequenced from work to dinner meet-up, to babysit for a friend. The daylight hours long gone my only hope was to now zip my coat up and take the long walk home, over shooting my residence by many blocks and eventually working back in the right direction. I wasn't going down on day two, no way.

So one week is, as they say, in the books. My craft beer advent calendar is lighter too! So cheers & good luck to all the other December streakers out there.

Another Running of the Kamloops Hash House Harriers:

The Dragon Our Assets Thru Kenna Run

Aka. Night before Icebox turns 40 - let the 4 day long weekend begin!

This past May long weekend was the busiest, funnest, liquefied series of events starting with the KH3 running Kenna.  8km of switchback hills and Dixie cup halts on a beautiful sunny evening!

The kennel even presented me with a yummy cupcake and tiara (which I had to wear for the entire run).
If you are ever in Kamloops look up the KH3 for a fun group run.

Timber

Shiver Me Timbers! Was that a horde of pirates you saw down on the beach Sunday?  Or perhaps winding their way through your neighbourhood hollering out mighty "Arrrrrgh"s as they went.  Surely you must be mistaken.
A Sunday afternoon spent with the Kamloops Hash House Harriers brought out the dramatic of all in attendance this running.
The treacherous 8 kilometer route took us up hills, through gullies, over storm drains and along the beach in search of booty, know to ye'land lubbers as BEER!
What a great group of hooligans to run with!
