“PRs can look cool. Some people can have really cool PRs but have never won anything. I want to be remembered for what I won. My times are going to be my times but winning is way cooler than running fast.” – Abdihamid Nur https://t.co/Eesnr85GJh

Still buzzing! So awesome to be here and watch this today. Such a spectacular performance. Thrilled for @CamLevins
What went into Cam Levins' 2:07:10 Canadian record today? A lot of miles. He says he's been running 170-180 per week. https://t.co/k0RmLuohv7

@grahamhood & I were fortunate to meet James on the chairlift @BigWhite (of all places!). We heard his story and were so captivated. He loves to run and will join @UBCOHeat this fall to train with us. So inspiring!
