I am Karen, I Iive near Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend and RN. I love to spend time with my family and friends, go for coffee, hike, snowshoe, travel, decorate my house, play scrabble... but just for me, I run.I started running on June 4, 1997 and since that date I have participated in 6 marathons, about 15 half marathons, and numerous 5 and 10 k's. I am always trying to challenge myself with running and on October 18, 2011 I thought that I should see how many days in a row I could run... that journey continues and so I decided to blog about it.

Came across a herd of elk today running about 200 feet in front of me on my run. Once they saw me they abruptly turned and headed the other way. A passing truck stopped to wait with me as she watched this happen. The elk were then circling their young because a coyote was in the field. Yikes… Country running can almost cause me to wet my pants!!
The Tarahumara culture believed that “racing doesn’t divide villages; it unites them” …they “saw racing as a festival of friendship.”
“A festival of friendship” - I love this!
