Week 17 and 18…Mush!
So with the latest period starting, it means that a new charity is brought in to the fold and we bid adieu to Risky Genes who walked away with a little over $450.00 to continue their fight against hereditary cancer. I’m glad Chris Skrenek chose Second Chance Animal Rescue Society because I’ve always had a […] More

Week 14 & 15…Nobody likes you, Cold, go away….
Say what you want about Canada being a great country, (despite the usual problems, it really is) does anyone actually get amped up when the weather is as cold as it’s been lately? I might have even said it on here before but I do think cold weather running is really underrated. As opposed to […] More

Brrr, it was a cold week this week…
A couple more weeks in the books as the project continues woot woot! It was a bitterly cold week last week especially in light of how mild the winter has been so far. I’m approaching the 250 km mark and the GPS map is slowly filling up with lines showing my completed sections. I worked […] More

Week 10 & 11…Brain growth in Larkspur!
Prior to starting my street running project I was the type of runner that usually stuck to the same 10 or so routes. I could always gauge how well I was doing based on how fast I was running those usual routes. I have a 10k route here in Fort Saskatchewan that I haven’t done […] More

What that also means is that the very first donation period of The Streets Initiative is officially over! Carla Duttenhoffer was the first featured runner on the site and had […] More

The Featured Runner for January and February is Michael Markowski
The ball continues to roll with the introduction of my second featured runner, Michael Markowski. Michael is a great example of a guy that has had a pretty amazing evolution as a runner over the years and also someone I’d sum up as an outstanding person. I’ve known Michael my whole life and remember when […] More

Week 6 & 7… Shilo MB wasn’t thaaat bad…
In late June, 1996, myself and a few other guys stepped off a Greyhound bus in Brandon, Manitoba to what would have been a fabulous morning any other time. This time, however, our thoughts weren’t on how there wasn’t a cloud in the sky or how nice the sunny morning breeze felt on our faces, […] More

Week 4 & 5…Finally we have a launch!
Not gonna lie, I was getting antsy about putting the launch of the website off again but luckily I’m ok with the way it is at the moment and therefore it is finally launched! It needs a bunch of work and there are a few glitches here and there but I’ll work ’em out as […] More

Week 2 and 3. Hopefully this works…
Ok, I’m on the verge of launching the site here and I’m not exactly a savant when it comes to anything computer related so I just hope that this post ends up where I want it to when I publish this. The site is basically done but only because luckily I’ve got a good buddy […] More

The Featured Runner for November & December 2020 is Carla Duttenhoffer
The featured runner for the period beginning November 1st 2020 is none other than my awesome wife, Carla Duttenhoffer. I figured I’d give her the honor of being the first featured runner for The Streets Initiative since she’s always so supportive of the things that I do. In the photo, she is the one standing […] More
