The start of the 2013 season felt like the continuity of the last 2012 clinic. Lots of familiar faces, mixed with several new runners, will bring again a fun and challenging clinic. It was hard holding runners back on the first night even if most of them were getting ready to run the Richmond Road Race the following Sunday. Lots of nice results in Richmond... Some PBs and several placing in age group; setting the bar high for 2013.

Mother Nature’s frigid weather didn’t slow...

Well it’s certainly been a very busy fall. With everything from races under a full moon to huge international races being brought to a sudden halt by a rather rude lady called Sandy. Well at least I got to shop at B&H Photo and we got to join close to 20,000 runners Sunday morning in Central Park.

We have results from every race we could find and a great story of the Wineglass Marathon from Guy. And according to Judy we are VERY close to hitting 500 race participations for the...

Seems like the Army Run is about to take over as Ottawa’s favorite race, with over 18,000 runners between the 5k and the half. The race wouldn't be the same without the runners from K2J Fitness putting all those nights of hard work into action. The hard work did indeed pay off. Lots of PBs, with several placing in respective Age Groups. Congratulations to all.

Lots of signs that the fall race season is most surely on the way. A couple of our runners made their way to Allentown for...

After a couple months of nice summer weather, I started listing a few of the races that our runners had participated in, but the list was getting way too long. It's been a busy summer. So instead Jim has prepared a newsletter for us with many the summer race results and a few pictures.

Congratulations to you all. We've seen quite a few PBs, and many happy runners. However, there are two races I would like to mention where some of our runners went far out of their comfort zone: The...

This issue of the newsletter features a great guy and a fellow with a great sense of humour, which is always accompanied by that little twinkle in his eye. I think you will thoroughly enjoy Ian Govan’s responses to a few questions I sent off to him - so here it is and yes it is word for word !!

Welcome to the Boston edition of the K2jFitness newsletter. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all K2J Fitness Boston marathon finishers. It was one of the hottest Boston Marathons ever. You all ran a very smart race. The Boston marathon weekend is always a lot of fun. Nice to see our runners coming home with profound memories. I'm already looking forward to next year.

Congratulations to everyone who competed in the NCM weekend. From the 5k to the marathon, you were part of a record number of participants. over 42,000 runners in all events. That can be translated to 42k. Also, there was several small races around; duathlons, the early bird triathlon and the Spartan race. The most impressive is the PBs just keep coming. Many have placed in their AG. Your hard work paying off.

Welcome to the second edition of the K2J newsletter and I guess welcome back to a new season of training and unfortunately as it seems every year, the cold and blowing snow of winter - oh well that too will pass and before you know it we will be into the warmth of spring and a new season of races. But first a little one of one with Jeff Slavin a K2J stalwart.
