Well here it is Monday again. I just got back from a weekend in Halifax for a family visit. Also, made a visit to Mountain Equipment Co-op and spoiled myself with some new kayaking gear. What a great store for the outdoor enthusiast!
Last week I started a discourse on conditioning around the theme of combo stretching/strengthening routines and began with the feet and lower leg. Before I continue I'm going to take a little diversion and comment on another theme I mentioned and that was balance. Not only should one have a balanced approach to conditioning but also a balance of activities. For a number of years, I put all my activity into the running game and it was good till I ran into an injury and then I was lost for a while. Since that awakening I have diversified and taken on a number of activities including a mix of running, biking and kayaking. This way, if my running is not going well, I can concentrate more on the others.
I put this theme into action in my KVC Marathon Founder role by creating a fun event to kick-off preparations for the Marathon. Its called a Bikaru and is a way to experience the Marathon Course with a 10k run from Bloomfield to Hampton, a 25k bike from Hampton to Rothesay and a 7k kayak along the Kennebecasis from Fairvale to Renforth. The event goes on June 6th this year with details on the marathon site. www.kvcmarathon.com
On the site you can also see some pictures from the previous year as captured and shared by Malcolm Brett. Mac has been a behind the scenes supporter of the marathon since day one, not only for pictures but technical support to the event as well. Mac has also agreed to help expound this blog with a picture gallery, so stay tuned.
