Hypothermic Half Marathon

Great day yesterday in Dieppe for the 2007 Hypothermic Half Marathon. Contrary to the name...it was actually close to zero by the time we finished (Unlike the last month!) Thanks again to the volunteers who make a road race like this possible. Congrats to my group who crossed the finish line in just over 1:59 with me...Great job Hypo Huffers! Terrific brunch at Fisherman's Paradise too. Proceeds from the race went to The YMCA.

Maybe you remember me talking about our clinic member Warrant Officer Les Connolly who was deployed to Afganistan and couldn't run with us. Les completed his event in Kandahar on Friday and I got this e-mail and the above picture shortly after we got off the air Friday:

On this morning's 104FM morning show (with Tony and Shelli), Tony made mention of "Les" running a half-marathon in Kandahar, Afghanistan. I wanted to pass on to Tony that Warrant Officer Les Connolly finished his run in 1 hour 56 minutes and 12 seconds. Les also wanted passed on that he will be thinking of his training-buddies during their run on Sunday. Les is deployed on a six-month tour with eleven other members of 2 Specialist Engineering Team of 1 Engineer Support Unit based out of Moncton. Captain Renald Nelson

Way to go Les!

As always...if you wanna join the craziest people in the South-East...Run Club is free every Wednesday at 6pm and Sundays at 8:30am. It's at The Running Room on Main Street and there's usually a distance and a pace for everybody. They have great clinics there that help you Learn To Run & Walk.

Thanks for Listening!
