This Week – Sept. 18th

Wow, the summer weather continues. Love it. Well done, all the Ottawa Army Run participants. We had a great time. Such a nice city to visit. The race day temperatures were very hot, and made for tough running, but we did it. There was also a handful of Benders out on the trails this weekend. Specifically 5 Peaks at Heart Lake Conservation Area. Entering both the Sport (6K) and Enduro (11K) distances. Well done all. Quick shout out to Lorraine who had a bit of a run in with some?

This Week – June 5th

As usual, our Bender generated positive energy, pushed away all the rain clouds Sunday morning up in Inglewood.

Podiums for several runners!!? Read more
