Today saw the 6000km mark of The Run to Live.  Pretty cool eh?  

Today was our third full marathon in Manitoba, and let me tell you, they weren't kidding.  This place is flat!  We had a couple moguls yesterday and a hill or two the day before, but today didn't have any elevation changes.  How was it you ask? It was pretty uneventful (except for the torrential downpour at about 30km, followed by small ice pellets that felt awful). 

Today we also passed the longitudinal centre of Canada.  How is it that we are a day and a half shy of the 2/3rd mark in our journey, but only halfway across the landmass that is Canada?  Well, lets just say that we took the long way... Check out the picture of our route (located under the "route" tab) and you will see our roundabout pathway.

We are pretty excited about hitting another capital city on our journey.  There are many benchmarks for us, and they each carry significance, but capitals are exciting because they offer facilities to restock supplies AND typically boast a decent population (which in turn, could represent many people to give a little to our cause)!!

Long story short, we are moving along in a Westerly direction and feeling great about our progress.

Keep posted on our progress through facebook and twitter and don't ever stop believing!!
