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.
