To the average person it was just another day in St. John’s‚ Newfoundland‚ however‚ to me it was much more. It marked the day I would run across Canada‚ from the Atlantic to the Pacific- from St. John’s to Victoria. As I stood upon a small inlet by the coast of St. John’s‚ I prepared myself for a journey of a lifetime.
