PUMA Faas 500 in my running future?

I will get over this nasty foot injury!

I will get over this nasty foot injury!

I will get over this nasty foot injury!

There, I've said it. Three times for good measure. And once I get over this nagging injury and get back to running I'm thinking of a radical change in running shoes: Puma.

Puma is not only a sponsor of my favourite race the Reggae Marathon but they have these cool new running shoes that have been getting great reviews.

The specific model I'm thinking about is the Puma Faas 500. Here is a review Puma Faas 500. I hope to add my own experience soon.

Until next time...

I had this experience at my first Reggae Marathon

I had tears after reading this story.

You see, I ran this race with her in Negril in 2009.  It was my first marathon ever and I too predicted finish times that turned out to be pure fantasy.  I was glad to just finish.

But she did it and so did I.  I hope you enjoy the article as much as I did:  Tara's Reggae Marathon Race Report.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Until next time...

Jamaican/Canadian or Canadian/Jamaican?

I got to end 2010 with a bang!  Through the Reggae Marathon and Linkedin, I connected with Loretta Green-Williams in San Francisco.  She runs a successful consulting business and hosts a weekly podcast called Sumatra the Bold, Strong and Smooth.  Through our shared Jamaican heritage, interest in social media and the Reggae Marathon, she invited me to share my story on her final show of 2010.

I've never said no to a microphone or an opportunity to share my story and this was no exception.  I had a blast of course and got the opportunity to dive more deeply into the issue that I get asked a lot:  "am I Jamaican/Canadian or Canadian/Jamaican?"  For the answer, you'll just have to tune in: Podcast with Loretta, Dec 31, 2010 

Until next time...
