I'm doing 15 things
Did the Around the Bay 30K race in Hamilton last year and it nearly killed me. I don’t remember ever having been so tired in my life. Everything was good for 22K (the distance I ran in training) and then at 24K I hit a wall. Now I know that I actually have to run the distance before the day, otherwise my body thinks it’s time to shut off—which runs counter to the philosophy that you should train up to a distance of 65-75% of the race distance when dealing with marathons. Oh well, live and learn.

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: Had a goal to read 50 books in one year. To stubbornly keep that goal, I had to choose reading over surfing, reading over TV. The time is usually there to do it, it's just a matter of picking reading over the other time wasters out there. To keep myself interested, I read whatever I felt like, tried to mix it up, rather than limit myself to a pre-defined list of books. And if I really felt bored of reading, I just picked up a really… Read how I did it…

The experience of being in the desert is like none other I’ve felt. Staring out in the vastness you realize how small and insignificant you are in comparison to the Earth. It really moves you. Sleeping in the desert is something else entirely. It is COLD! And when you’re cold, that’s all you’re thinking about. Be prepared, very prepared!
