  • Hi all, I am Tom, though I also answer to "sparky00721" or "hey you". Thanks Katie for setting up a group. I currently live in Vancouver though I partially grew up in Abbotsford, used to sneak into the Legion in Aldergrove for beers when underage, and used to swim in the lake off the Ruskin dam up in the Maple Ridge area…

  • Excellent advice, thanks. My best chance of this working for me is waking up early and exercising before work - less chance of anything else getting in the way that early. The toughest part so far as been trying to go to bed a bit earlier to account for the earlier start!

  • Good luck and have a great time !!

It is a bit of an act of faith on my part that they will be repeating a Spartan sprint in 2014 - Vancouver ran one in…

I call it Goop and my daughter loves it. The pasta/tomato sauce provides good…

  • The training programme for the Vancouver 10 km Sun Run used to involve an even more gradual introduction to the jogging portion of a walk/jog approach than the C25K that you might find easier: after establishing a base of walking for the target length of time (I believe one would work up to 60 minutes of continuous…
    in C25K Question Comment by sparky00721 July 2013
  • Although I am pretty new here, what has been working for me so far is not only to accurately enter food and exercise daily, but to do so contemporaneously with each meal. This has resulted over the last several nights in me looking at my dinner options knowing exactly how many calories I have left for dinner and evening…
