My Catholic dilemma continues.
After the board said I needed a more detailed letter, I had my Priest write one for me. No problems, he said. “Anything else you need?” he said? Nope, I assured him. See you on Sunday!
Turns out the much more detailed letter–honestly, he made me look like a Saint–wasn’t quite enough for [...]

There’s this feeling I get when I run sometimes. It’s rare, but it feels good. It’s the feeling of running faster but hurting lesser (excuse the spelling).
Today I ran 15k at 3:43/km pace (really fast for me!) and it just felt wonderful.
As I ran through the beautiful countryside with the sun shining brightly, the wind blowing [...]
not catholic enough

Today is Good Friday, and although this is the day that Jesus Christ did all he could to bring people closer to Him, something happened to me this week that seems to be symptomatic of why people struggle with the Church.
Here’s the sitch.
I got a call this week from a Catholic school board asking me [...]

I learned two important lessons today.
1. If I run with the best distance runners in Canada for more than 10k, I’ll suffer badly for the next 10k.
2. If that second 10k is straight into the wind on some wicked rolling hills, I’ll suffer even more.
In other words: I ran with the Speed River boys today and [...]
what is healthy?

I saw Bon Jovi last night. AMAZING. Really, really. Cannot describe now amazing. I’ll post pictures and sing-along videos shortly. My Dad texted me on the way—“have healthy fun.” It was loud, and wild. But it was healthy.
I’m home in Guelph for March Break. I’ve been able to put in some decent workouts. I [...]

I did my usual tempo run this morning on the treadmill (all that snow is getting to be a little annoying). I ended up going 12miles at just over 6min/mile, and I felt (and probably looked) like the kid in this video.
I went to the bike show this afternoon and lusted on all that I’ll [...]
chopping.

I added to my vocabulary this week. My grade 12’s (who are way too cool for school) have done a fantastic job at keeping me up-to-date on how the English language continues to evolve. This week’s word was “chopping.”The word came up when the really pretty young teacher visited our class to pick up some [...]
today

Today was a good day. Funny thing is, the simplicity of my days seems to make them all good.
I woke up at 5:45am (gross). 4 minutes later I was on my bike (in my apartment). About 1/2 hour later I woke up for good, realized I was still peddaling, and spent the next 60 minutes attacking [...]
what’s the dif?

I went to Catholic mass today. I’ve been going all year, in fact. I
am a Christian, but lots of different kinds of people have asked me if I’m Catholic. Sure, I tell them. I was raised by Italians…so culturally, at least, I’m covered. But what does it mean to be Catholic? Or Protestant? Or some [...]
