Great story. I love how you’re featuring inspirational stories from around the globe. Isn’t the internet grand?

PS: Happy guest-blogging!

Actually, his blog’s name is just “Runman” (“One Step Ahead” comes from that Guardian newspaper article). And while you’re reading that article, do read the comments I posted…

Thanx for the shout out Terry, seems we’re having quite a day – this blog is running a story on Alex’s dad & I today (and Alex).

Alex’s next run will be the Freeze your Gizzard Half-Marathon in February, the PEI RoadRunner’s schedule doesn’t get going full steam until April then he’ll be racing pretty much every weekend. Sadly, Team PEI (and Alex) won’t be in the Cabot Trail Relay this year but he hopes to get at least one race on the mainland in, knock off a PB or 2, get closer to his Boston qualifying time, and more than anything, he wants to be a torchbearer in the Olympic Torch Run when it crosses Prince Edward Island next November.

Maybe someday you two will line up together at a start line somewhere…..

Happy Trails!
