@steadyathlete Enough time to think if 100km is worth the work...

[Alex Wellstead @AlexWellstead]

Finished the 80 km Sulphur Springs trail race this weekend. Physically and mentally the hardest thing I’ve done.

Still processing it, but grateful. For now, happy to sit still for a bit.

[Alex Wellstead @AlexWellstead]

@Runner1187 I was mostly frustrated that I couldn't hit 100k steps that day! Got home around 98.5k and ... well the couch made more sense.

“I’ll never be as great of a runner as him, but knowing who he is and who I am adds fuel to the fire and keeps the dream alive.”

Residential school survivor Tom Longboat won the Boston Marathon in 1907. His great-great-grandson is now racing to honour him

Someone just caught Artemis from their flight. Cool view of little piece of history!

[Alex Wellstead @AlexWellstead]

Pure awe. Pure wonder.

The Artemis launch leaves you speechless.

[Montreal Expos @Montreal_Expos]

Our 9-9-9 challenge is nine poutines and nine Labatt 50s in nine innings.

Why do these figure skaters always use lame orchestral music, have none of them heard Santeria by Sublime

[Alex Wellstead @AlexWellstead]

Let’s call it a tradition.

Since we moved back to Milton, my daughter made it her mission to leave her poppy at the cenotaph “for the veterans.”

Dance ran late tonight, but she still wanted to stop.

Proud Canadian, prouder dad. 🇨🇦

[Toronto Blue Jays @BlueJays]

It was a magical ride with all of you.

Our city, our home, our fans showed up on the grand stage...and we couldn't be prouder.

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

This Blue Jays playoff run has caused me to reflect so much on the things I love about this city. Sportsbetting apps, the Ring of Fire, Roger’s telecom services of various kinds, the Toronto Dominion Bank, Skip the Dishes. The things that make a great team, a great city, possible

A quick recap of Trey Yesavage's night vs the Dodgers

@BlueJays

[Alex Wellstead @AlexWellstead]

@calgarygrit And for a guy who still counts his age in halves, he’s got a few more Trey Yesavage records to break.

Addison Barger slept on Davis Schneider's pull-out couch last night, then went on to hit a grand slam in Game 1 of the #WorldSeries 🤣

[Alex Wellstead @AlexWellstead]

Barger! My god, yes! #WANTITALL

[Montreal Expos @Montreal_Expos]

You deserve to hear that Springer Dinger en français

[Alex Wellstead @AlexWellstead]

Some good October ball @BlueJays

[Alex Wellstead @AlexWellstead]

In 2023 I told @ziannlum in @politicoottawa’s Playbook I was leaving politics “for family.”

It’s a line you hear a lot. This time, it was actually true.

First-day school drop-offs. Both kids, same elementary school I went to. Full circle.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’

You don’t ‘run the gambit.’

gamut = entire range or series

gauntlet = severe trial

Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy
