    Vicky and Grant: A Running Dream In High Definition!

    SHARE

    GRANT:
    Ok so this is me thinking out loud.  Have you ever thought of a business where you could travel and run around the world?

    VICKY:
    You’re thinking about the “running tours” we talked about in one of our previous blogs?

    GRANT:
    Kind of.  I was watching some reality shows the other day and I got to thinking about how cool it would be to have a job where a television crew would follow us literally “running” around the world.  It’s like a combination of running, travel and adventure.

    VICKY:
    In High Definition!  What a great idea!  It would be like going back to my old tour guiding days except all over the world and more comfortable shoes.  We could discover all sorts of paths, trails and running routes on every continent.  Wait a minute though.  Why us?

    GRANT:
    Good question.  I guess because we’re energetic, curious and in the top 5 of Canada’s best running magazine’s blogging contest.  Don’t you think people would like to follow us around as we travel around the world in our running shoes?

    VICKY:
    I don’t know Grant, I think your trademark optimism may be clouding your judgment.  However, look at how fun and charming we are.

    GRANT:
    And so photogenic!   We were born to be on T.V.

    VICKY:
    I guess…I’ve always wanted to visit the UK and run in one of those quirky high heel races in Europe!

    GRANT:
    And I’d love to go back to Nepal!

    VICKY:
    How about down in Florida in the Everglades?  Actually, never mind that idea because with my luck we would encounter crocodiles and you’re no Dave Salmoni.

    GRANT:
    Well, I’m sure we would not run out of running destination ideas.

    VICKY:
    Oh how wonderful to have such running dreams!  Stay tuned for more running dreams from other runners throughout the week!

    Self-described “running nerds,” Vicky and Grant are co-workers who “spend their lunch hours at the nearest bookstore and will often be seen around the office getting excited about a new energy bar or running gadget.” The duo captured our attention with their unique (double) take on Running Blog Idol, pledging to address a host of different topics including Canadian running heroes. Their submission to our contest even included a sample vlog (available at youtube.com/watch?v=oy4oDokN1Qo), which they promise is “but only a mere example of the lengths we are willing to go in order to share our experience, knowledge, research and general ramblings.” Holy multimedia, Batman!
