Running
I love running. I run 4 or 5 times a week, usually covering
distances from 25km to 40 km weekly. I love running cross-country,
for I have done that ever since grade 3. I also love running track
and road races. I favorite distances include the 800m, 1500m, and
10 km. I am not affiliated with any club. I run on my own,
but I enjoy running with some guys from Lisgar.
Karate
I was born into karate. My father is now 6th degree black belt
in Shotokan karate. He is the chief instructor of the Ottawa JKA,
where I am a member. I have been training off and on for 9 years,
but only since September of 1997 have I trained with any seriousness.
I intend on testing for my black belt in December of 1998 in New York.

Bowling
I started bowling in an organized league in grade 6. I was involved
in three years before trying other things. I loved 5-pin bowling
at Queensway Bowling Lanes. There, I made the 4 Steps to Stardom
team, and also won the in-house Buddy Tournament. I go bowling now
much less frequently than I would like, but I have a great time when I
do go.
Drums
I drum with a passion. Since March of 1998 I have been the source
for the neighborhood noise from my basement. My Pearl drum set might
have cost a good chunk of money, but it’s worth every penny. After
being in Lisgar’s senior concert band since grade 10, I am currently in
the midst of starting a duo with a friend from Lisgar.
