Each year I try to support the BANQUE SCOTIA 21K DE MONTREAL by participating in the 5K media challenge. This year I did it in 33 minutes and 32 seconds! Proceeds from the run go to various charities and this year I chose to run for the Fondation du Centre jeunesse de Montréal. Dapper came along ...
(English) Reebok ZPump Fusion
When Reebok teamed up with Joys of Living, a new juice bar in Saint-Henri, I was happy to take them up on testing a pair of their new ZPump Fusion running shoes during a group 4k run. Remember the Reebok pump shoes of the late 80s? If you're an 80s child, these should take you ...
