The 2011 Bluenose experience...

Excellent running everyone; the Bluenose for 2011 is in the bag; wrapped up tight and crossed off the bucket list...so what’s next?  For all of your hard work you managed to do what very few others succeed at; run, yes but that’s only part of it...you challenged yourselves, stuck with it and ran a race on your terms...then, you wore your medal, put up your feet and took pride in all of your newfound aches and pains.  Isn’t running fun?  Who knew you could be so sore, laugh about it, take pride in your black-toe and feel so fit all at the same time...?  You are a runner:  plain and simple.  You take the good and the bad in stride while pushing your limits and challenging yourself on a very personal level and understand that the lessons learned on the run will help you negotiate the obstacles encountered on the road of life... so sit back and enjoy your Bluenose success and know that when you laced up for the race you were already a WINNER!

Run Strong!
