From planes to running

We found out this morning that a co-worker and friend of ours was involved in a small plane (Beaver) crash on Saturday near James Bay. He's lucky - he survived. The pilot and another passenger were killed. Four of them were headed out at the start of a 3 week fishing trip in Northern Quebec. It's a bit of a shock for us all, but we have to take the positive outlook - he survived. I can't even imagine how traumatic it will be for him - to survive a crash where a friend of his was killed. Just goes to show you that life is short - live it to its fullest every day that you are alive because you never know what might be around the corner.

Otherwise - half-marathon training: 7 km today, at race-pace. Felt good except the pain in the calf muscle-hamstring attachment point behind my left knee. I don't know what's going on there, but I suspect it's simply tight and needs to be worked out a bit. Time to book an appointment with my favorite torture professional!
