Shades of Game

..works best on small screens!

Scenes from the trails and races where I spend a lot of my free time. I’m perpetually in some kind of training mode. Races. Fitness. Distance. Streaks. Or just good old fashioned peer pressure. This site is nothing of not stuffed full of running posts and pics.

8r4d Trifecta of #running opposition this morning: strong cold winds, sooooo much ice, and losing an hour for daylight savings spring ahead. We did it, but it hurt.

8r4d After a three week #running hiatus I was back on the icy #winter trails and logging a #parkrun … probably one of my slowest on record, but better than being stuck on the couch with a sore back.

8r4d Technically not my first run of the year but definitely the first time i’ve been #running outside in 2026. Between the deep cold and the icy sidewalks we’ve stuck to the track for the last couple weeks. But 9k on the snowy paths was a great and welcome change of pace.

8r4d Oh so did I mention that #winter #running season was waiting for me when I got back to Canada. It wasn’t my first time out but Sunday’s run was -16C plus a chill, so we logged… trudged… six klicks thru the snow and called it a cold success.
