The Changes

I'm about to find out, because we're both racing in this year's Earth Run!

Actually, it's almost certain that he's gonna shame me. The man is FIT (and at 73 no-less).

But you can lessen my shame by helping me raise money for the David Suzuki Foundation. I have to keep in David's good books (he's the boss, after all!)

Athletes run for environmental cause

STAFFORD, VA – Actor Matt Hill and national speaker Stephanie Tait will jog through Stafford on Saturday, continuing on an 11,000-mile journey that has served to encourage people to take steps to improve the environment.

Hill, a seven-time Ironman, and Tait, hail from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Stephanie Tait and Matt Hill are taking their quest for environmental awareness one step at a time on the Run for One Planet tour.

Tait and Hill, environmental enthusiasts from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, are bringing their journey to Washington and Chocowinity next week.

So I went for a run last night. Just a little one - once around the mulch track at China Creek park - but it didn't go as well as I had hoped. I had been feeling better and, planning this little test days in advance, I pictured myself falling right back into stride as if nothing had ever happened, going on to complete the 6 K at tempo that was on my running schedule for yesterday.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and a journey of 26.2 miles begins with having your hair in order. OK, maybe not really. That might be a little extreme, but it is no joke that I would become completely undone around mile # 24 if I had to keep dealing with hair flapping in my face.
