Final)
Alan's Journal
Dear Fellow Runners,
It feels like it’s been a while since I last wrote. We had
a great time in Vancouver at the Scotia Half, and then back to T.O. for
a much warmer, but also successful Acura Toronto 10 Miler & 5K. Our
photo and video crews are doing SUCH great jobs at the CRS events –- really
leading-edge in North America -- that we have great visual records of
our events this year. The video interviews are just super, and I know
you’ll love the new format for the photo galleries that make viewing-as-a-slideshow
much easier and more user-friendly. If you haven’t checked them out yet,
I strongly encourage you to do so.
I’m getting ready to get “up in the air” again tomorrow,
to go down to Moncton for the IAAF World Junior Championships. Our own
CRS’ Mihira Lakshman is already down there covering the Championships
for CBC with daily coverage, a blog, and there’s LIVE streaming of everything.
Again, something WELL worth a look, as our sport becomes more and more
accessible with the “new” media. It’s a chance to see some of the best
Juniors in the world. There will be a few familiar Canadian faces to cheer
for, and you can see Merima Mohammed who won the Ottawa Marathon here
in May at only 19 years old, running the Women’s 5,000m for Ethiopia TONIGHT.
Catch it all at http://www.cbc.ca/sports/amateur/moncton2010/
AND, follow me on TWITTER, as I continue to tweet regular
updates from Moncton and on CRS and STWM news and inside info as it breaks!

For example, Ian Ladbrooke and I have now COMPLETED the
Elite Start List for STWM 29010, and I can say without doubt, it’s the
best field we’ve ever had – by far. Watch out as we begin to release the
names!!
As well, Bonnie and I have been meeting with the various
neighbourhoods and groups to line up the best-ever on-course entertainment
for us all on September 26th. It is going to be a blast!
Gotta run. More from Moncton, via Twitter,
Alan
PS. For those of you in the GTA, please consider joining us, and coming
out to see Canada’s best “Seniors” athletes at the Canadian National Track
& Field Championships. You’ll recognize many of them from TV [like
Priscilla Lopes-Schliep & Perdita Felicien], and the distance folks
from CRS races – people like Eric Gillis, Reid Coolsaet, Leslie Sexton
and Kip Kangogo who won the Vancouver Half. It’s at Varsity Centre, July
28th-31st, and a great BUZZ to see it “live”. Details and tickets http://www.athletics.ca/toronto2010
