Mizuno Racing Team’s Daniel Tapia To Tackle World Champs Marathon on August 17th

When Daniel Tapia stands on the starting line of the World Championships Marathon on August 17th, he’ll have a brief moment to reflect on how far he’s come.

A year ago, he was just another runner, struggling to get in his training while working days at his family’s restaurant and going to law school at night. Tapia had won a couple of marathons in California—Big Sur and Cal International—but had never quite made the breakthrough on a national stage.

Since I live in Golden and most of my running buddies are east of me in Canmore, I have been trying to set up some runs in the Field and Lake Louise area. It FINALLY came together this weekend, and I experienced my first run in Yoho National Park.

While inflammation is caused by a number of things including poor dietary choices and environmental toxins, it also happens when we exercise. Sounds strange right? We know exercise is good for us, yet it still does us harm?
