Been there, ran that, got the shirt · 8 July 08
Well I did it. I ran the Alberta Jeep Dealers Half Marathon in Calgary on Sunday, and man was it fun! I placed exactly in the middle of my division (77th out of 144) with a time of 1:55:02.
I was really hoping to shave off more time from my Dashin’ for Compassion race (1:55:36) but, although it was a flat and “fast” course, us middle-of-the-packers got very bottlenecked a couple times (once on the way through the Stampede Grounds and one more time through the Calgary Zoo). I figure I lost about 5 minutes when my pace was forced down to 6:50-ish rather than 5:00 for a few Kilometres.
But, oh well, it was very fun and I felt really good at the end AND made it back to Kris’ house in time to catch the tie-breaks and rain-delays during the Federer and Nadal battle for the Wimbledon title. What a game! What a day!
Here’s a google map of the course, if you are interested in where we ran.
Yo, Brock!

I’m going West for a few weeks for the benefit of anyone who remembers
me. Some of you MAY recall that when I was teaching in Cranberry
Portage, MB, my Film Studies class made a video for “Mary Donnel”,
with the permission and consent of Brock, CT, and Six-Shooter Records,
but was poo-poo’d by my boss at the time and prevented from releasing
a copy to Brock and CT.
I no longer work for him :P
If anyone is interested, send me a note to
weaponof(dawt)massinstruction(at)gmail(dawt)com and I’ll try to meet up
with you when I’m in (likely the next 4 days or so).

So? Wanna get together for a couple cold beers at long last and see whatever happened with Mary? Drop me a line at my h-mail or at the G-mail I listed in the post.
Hope you’re doing well,
Cheers!
Dent
