I failed as a runner for decades. But in the last 8 years I’ve run 9,000+ miles and 7 ultramarathons by making a few simple changes (that you can do too). Here are 10 tips to bulletproof your running:

I’ve been a hospital chaplain now for eight years at hundreds of deathbeds. I want to tell you something I’ve witnessed. Most people, at the end, realize they’ve spent a lot of their life hiding. Sometimes by choice, or because they could not safely choose to be themselves. ➡️

@laurapj88 It's a hike around Killarney Lake - 9km round trip and pretty easy. The best part is that you can start as soon as you get off the ferry, so you can go as a walk on!

@cloudraker1 What hike is this? Looks awesome

It was a beautiful day for a hike on Bowen Island! #sd36learn

@KevinTheStocker Ha! Barely! There might have been some running involved near the end of our hike😬

NSLC students collected almost 20 kgs of garbage out of Green Timbers Forest yesterday! @sd36learn @CityofSurrey

@MrRileyDueck @TeachersOnFire Seriously?! That’s awesome!

It's FRIDAY, educators. What are the wins from the week that you're celebrating?

Every now and then I like to show my students some of the interesting, funny, informative, educational, or current things I find on the internet. Today I showed them something beautiful. youtube.com/watch?v=5SvdRH… #sd36learn

Last year one of my goals was to bike to school an average of one day a week. In total, I biked to school 46 times equaling 1610km. I'm hoping to break 2000km this year!
