Origins

I was guilted into running and joining the Running Room. One summer, three years ago, I would walk home from work via English Bay, cross Burrard Street bridge and walk past Kits beach to my apartment. All along the seawall there were hordes of people running as I walked. It seemed to me an epidemic. I was surrounded by people being fit. I started to feel that my walks were not enough – I decided to join a soccer team. For that I needed to run and so I found myself at the Running Room; a choice that changed my life.
