  • Statement: "We can come together as many nations and start to collectively make all the difference.” – Jason Loutitt, 2007

The Wales mountain running team has always been
at the World Mountain Trophy for each of my past 3
years there and it was a great joy to be able to
visit their national park where the majority of
their races occur. In seeing the peaks I couldn't
resist and had to go for an early run even before
my late night shift. Although I didn't run to the
summit I did get on the trails for awhile. The night
run was a secret joy, the moon my friend and audience.

It is nice to have such support from the BPR team
with safety, attitude and support being very very well
done.

Poem of the Day:

Mountains holding hearts true
Running through them is my site
For together as a team we run
With mountains on many sides

Sometimes the path has us
at many an incline of change
Other times our sight can fly

In returning to our places there
Where for each of us our passion
Residing tapping and sharing power
Guiding each other to the summit

Red moon which ran beside me at night
It is my hope that you have felt
The transformation of moment to moment
The ability to keep us in sight
I sang to you to honour the message
Fot which we put our feet for
I will sing to you to keep me there
On the top of the mountains
With each other

September 27, 2007... and still on the run!

When I think about all the great times and places that I visited this past summer, I am also reminded of all the great people.

September 2 - Flying team colours!

With the last few days of our run looming and the month changing, emotions are swelling like I mentioned in my previous blog.

My return to Canada sends a current of emotion flowing through my channels of hope and inspiration.

August 17 - The Wedding

In Kansas running in the 99 degree heat, I ended up getting attacked by two dogs but was able to yell at them enough to keep them at bay until our exchange point vehicle came by.

August 13 - From Camp Hale to Vail

24 Miles of altitude above 8000', mountains, fresh air, an incredible team and a run to my training grounds for the last two summers combined to make it one of the best 2007 Blue Planet Run days for m

On the 9th we started our running from Zion National Park in Utah at 3 am. I was up last and ran the last shift from 7:45 - 8:55.

August 8 -'Cali through Death Valley to the Red Sandstone Cliffs'

Poem of the day:

Water is sacred
Simple and powerful
An essence makes life
And is life itself.
Any form of life
Is a justification of a celebration

August 2 – BPR Fremont through San Jose ending at San Simeon

The California sun is screaming hello even though the temperatures are staying cool. I love it!
