Al Howie still has plenty in the tank
Al Howie is thinking about hitting the road again,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Deutschland[/b][/url].
The man known as the Greatest Ultramarathoner on Earth has been away from the sport for a few years, but lately he's been considering tying up his sneakers and doing more of the long-distance runs that made him famous.
Howie's feats as a runner are legion, most involving ultramarathons -- any runs longer than the traditional 26-mile marathon. In 1987, in an effort to draw attention to Greater Victoria's bid to host the 1994 Commonwealth Games,[url=http://duveticavestesfr.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Duvetica Femme online shop[/b][/url], he broke the record for the longest continual run, completing 1,422 laps at the University of Victoria's Centennial Stadium, a distance of 580 km, in 104 hours. In 1989, Howie became the first person to finish the Sri Chinmoy 1,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Parka Woolrich Online Shop Woolrich Damen Parka Woolrich Deutschland Outlet[/b][/url],300-mile race in New York City,[url=http://duveticavestesfr.halod.com/][b]duvetica vestes paris[/b][/url], beating the 18-day time limit. Howie has also run the entire length of Britain -- 1,400 km -- in just 11 days.
It all began when Howie,[url=http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/[/b][/url], then in his mid-20s, decided to break a bad habit.
"I quit smoking," he recalled. "And I felt really aggressive, so I went and pounded the pavement. I found I did well."
The day after he quit, he ran 10 miles for the first time. His love for the sport blossomed when he moved to the West Coast. He ran the length of Vancouver Island, from Victoria to Port Hardy, to raise money for the United Way, then repeated the feat for the Times Colonist 1000 Fund. Within a year of moving to the Island, he had set Canadian and North American ultramarathon records.
"It wasn't until after entering his first international race in Ottawa in 1981 that he first realized he was good," said Duncan Coun. Paul Fletcher when he announced Howie's award. "Al said that he knew that he had a lot of stamina,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessales.blogspot.com/][b]Cheap Roger Vivier Shoes Sale Outlet Store[/b][/url], but he ended up several miles ahead of the guy who finished second."
With his long red hair bushy beard,[url=http://duveticashoponline.blogspot.com/][b]duvetica shop online[/b][/url], Howie became a familiar face in the racing community, and developed the trademark of drinking a beer before each race.
"It drove people crazy, seeing him knocking back a beer while they were stretching,[url=http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti wedding shoes Shop[/b][/url], and then seeing him on the podium at the end of the race,[url=http://duveticavestesfr.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Duvetica Femme online[/b][/url]," said Fletcher.
Howie would also train by running to the cities where he was racing,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Deutschland Outlet[/b][/url], putting his bags on a bus,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessales.blogspot.com/][b]http://2013rogerviviershoessales.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], then catching up to them at a stop to change clothes,[url=http://parajumpersjacketwiki.blogspot.com/][b]parajumpers jacket wiki[/b][/url], and sending them on their way again.
"Al is a fascinating man who is a genius in the world of human endurance,[url=http://discountparajumperssaleonlinestore.webmium.com/][b]http://discountparajumperssaleonlinestore.webmium.com/[/b][/url], a man who has demonstrated what can happen when sinew and willpower are powerfully fused,[url=http://monclerjackedeutschland.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerjackedeutschland.albirank.net/[/b][/url]," said Fletcher.
Born in Scotland,[url=http://rogervivieroutlet.webmium.com/][b]roger vivier australia store[/b][/url], Howie moved to Toronto in 1974 and to Vancouver Island in 1978. He has made Duncan his home on and off for the past 12 years. He picked Duncan because it reminded him of home.
