The day started off cold and Foggy. 

Bright and Early. Cold and Foggy 

We had a long drive back to Calgary to be at the Stampeders Vs. Bombers (Calgary won 11-7) To toss the coin for the kick off. 


We got there nice and early so we go and pick up the appropriate passes and get escorted to the field. 

Tweeting that I am at the game. 

We were advised to be at the game an hour early. It was a little cold as it's an outdoor field. However we were happy to be able to speak at such a big event. 

Some last minute instructions for when to run out on the field. 

After the starting fireworks and the game starts.

And I'm off. 

It's hard to see but that is me out on the field. 

There was some confusion at the coin toss. While they did announce, on the jumbo screen, the Run To Remember. There was no coin toss. I am not quite sure what I was doing there. No one said anything to me before I new it I was running back to the side of the field. 

We then had a long drive back to Golden. It was getting on 5:30 or 6:00 when I started my run. 

I managed to get in a few kilometers 

Only 346 km to Kamloops!! 

As the sun went down and it started to get dark. I started to have an anxiety attack. I had been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder after my head injury. The road also narrowed and there are no streetlights. I started to have a sever worry. My breath increase, I started to shake and I could hear my heartbeat pounding. I started to shake and new I was having a panic attack. 

The first time I had a panic attack it freaked me out. However now I am able to recognize the symptoms and take the steps to just wait it out. 

They don't usually last very long maybe about 5 to 10 minutes. At about the 7km mark I decided to call it a day. It was late, dark, and I was freaking out. It's time to call it a day. 

So I am back at the motorhome and updating the blog.
