Back in Yellowknife!


Hi Everyone, today, as you can see from the photo, I flew out to Vancouver and then North and East again to Yellowknife. Tonight I managed an 8.4 km run in -15C weather and it was lovely. My good friend Duff pointed out a great trail to me and I followed it around really enjoying the beautiful scenary here on the Great Canadian Shield.

I am here until Wednesday when I head up to Inuvik, and weather permitting will go for at least a short run there so that I can claim to have run above the artic circle. Stay tuned.

As to our song of the day, let me use this occasion to launch a new contest for all our Prague 1/2 Marathon readers. Once a week between now and run day, I will ask a trivia question related to the song of the day. Answers sent to pmackin1959@gmail.com will be reviewed every Sunday and one correct answer picked for a prize which the winners will receive by post after I return from Prague. You have to include the answer, your full name and mailing address and what colour underwear you prefer wearing. Well, the last part is a joke... maybe.

OK so, here we go. Today's song of the day is Come and Get it by Badfinger. The question, what movie was this song featured heavily in and who were the two main stars of that film?

I will announce next week's winner along with the music trivia question of the week next Sunday. Have fun!

Paul
