... running a 33:49 10K race!

I am mentioned here
http://www.edmontonjournal.com/sports/Kenyan+shatters+record/5287669/story.html

It was awfully hot, but this is still my fastest 10K race in over 10 years.

I have another 10K race in 2 weeks in Calgary. If I do well there, I will probably win the whole road race series, in which case I will earn $1,000 for being first. That money will then be used for a trip to Toronto, where I will run the Canadian 10K Road Race Championships. That's on September 24.

If we have any people in Toronto wanting to hook up then, let me know!

Awesome! Closest I ever came to that mark was about 35 min. And I was in either my late 20s or early 30s. That's a dang good mark for a 40 something! And the overall results are even more impressive. I hope you bring home the series win!!

Great to hear Master and Commander. I just have a hard time fathoming doing any sort of distance without a bicycle. My hat is off to you sir. Godspeed and good luck.
