Jamaica

An hour east of Montego Bay about 4 km west of Lucea (pronounced Lucy) is where the Grand Palladium resort resides. Add this to your "bucket list". I get it now why Canadians have fallen in love with Jamaica. Beautiful people, beautiful country and amazing Blue Mountain coffee. In my opinion & without question the best coffee in the world. For one week my wife & i relax in the hot baking sun. One morning I decided to go for a light jog about 10:30am the sun was rising. For a light jog and running a total of 50 minutes I have never perspired so much in my life. I'm sure the local Jamaicans on the side of the road were looking at me like I'd had escaped from the funny farm. No problem mon.

Half M. Peterborough Feb. 28th 2010 review

Weather conditions were ideal. In fact some runners over-heated. One participant actually ran half the race without a shirt. My longest run up to the race had been 18km, not the greatest, but i believe the hill work and strength training along with the cardio from the pool assisted well. Although i was trying again for a PB, i fell short by a couple of minutes finishing 1 hr 34 min 30 sec. 14 out of 47 in my age category. I truly enjoy Peterborough for a number of reasons, mainly to see my daughter who attends Trent U. but also because it is an excellent barometer to access your current spring training. In years past and true for a huge running population it is the pre-race for Around the Bay. The YMCA facilites in Peterborough are simply perfect. To the RD, volunteers and the YMCA in Peterborough, thank you again for putting on a fun day. To Ian Toms at the first water station, what was that on your head?
