stoneagescientists asked: Hey, thanks for the reply. I was playing with a new synthesizer I got, but my blinds were closed and I didn't realize what time it was until I thought about my run. I was just being dramatic. I needed rest anyway.

How did I get there?
I still recall the days when at school they had us write an essay on the pros and cons of NTIC (yeah back then we still had the “N” #gettingold). Already did I tend to believe it was a step forward to human relationships.
Those past two days, I have landed in San Francisco and been staying at a friend’s place.
I caught up with few friends for a run, and planed on meeting a friend.
How did I...

In 2012, just like the years before and the ones to come,
most will watch while a few will act,
some will judge while others will listen,
believers will pray and non believers will have faith in themselves
dreamers will hope for good while doers will make it happen,
some people will lie to protect and other will tell the truth to hurt
Bottom line is people are people, haters will hate and...

PUSHING THE LIMITS
The year 2011 comes to an end and so do my strengths…
It’s been another very intense year, paced with discoveries, new contacts, supportive people, talented professionals who have turned into trustworthy partners, but also paced with its fair amount of slaps in the face - some I even gave to myself - deceptions, and mistakes.
In an entrepreneur’s world,...

Oh no!
We are currently facing an issue with the database, no big issue but might take a while.
As you might have noticed, your personal profile is currently unavailable. We’re working on it, no run for us today :-(
Sorry for the inconvenience, in the meantime, YOU can go out and play!

Esctasy on the trails
August 27th, back on the road after what has been, once again, the highlight of my summer.
Wake up, eat, run, eat, rest, sleep, repeat. The same scenario unfolds and every year the road back to Denver is tainted a bit more with nostalgic feelings. The kind that leaves us quiet, thinking about all the Good People we are leaving behind. For most of them, it means not see each other for another...

Dear Runners, Friends, Dear GoodPeople,
Long time ago, I ran my first XC race. It was a cold rainy day of winter, I was scared. At the first turn after the starting line another kid stepped on my shoe. I lost it, fell on the rocky muddy ground and cut my knee open. I managed to finish the race with one shoe undone and a bleeding knee, I was 7 years old.
Against all expectations, this still...

La Silicon Valley, ou le Rêve Américain 2.0
Je reviens de 3 mois en Silicon Valley. Le but premier de ce trip était de comprendre et m’imprégner de cet éco-système où les limites de l’entrepeneuriat n’existent pas, vraiment pas.
Au gré de mes rencontres j’ai pu échanger avec des personnes brillantes et terriblement travailleuses. Tom, 19 ans, venait de lever 3 millions de dollars pour financer sa 9ème société. Les...

Pushing through the pain
I usually bust my ass off everytime I’m out there, to take the best out of each workout, you never know when the next one will be.
As mentioned in “Beautiful Spring, welcome back !” I had decided to run easy. So I did. I was trying to reproduce the economical stride of the ultra running champions who I would watch way too many times on youtube, through their accomplishments during the most...

Beautiful Spring, welcome back !
Last night, Friday night, was ending another rough week, working overnights to finalize a project and overall pretty intense. Nothing but the usual after all! But that time I made an important decision that sounded a bit like that “screw it, I am not doing ANYTHING this week end but chillax and rest ! I need it and totally deserve it.”
After a late morning in bed watching the movie “127...

Chairman, CEO... and Maria.
Sure it can look good to have written Chairman or CEO (or even “I am CEO, bitch!”) on your business card but don’t be fooled, this comes with a price.
The price of constant focus on stress about all things in the company, and the closer to the launch we get, the more intense it becomes. Don’t get me wrong, this is thrilling, it really is.
Sure there will be some...

Light at the end of the tunnel
When there is nothing you can do about a bad situation, don’t let it bother you. Breath, step back and look at it from a distance. You will find opportunities out of it.
If you focus on the right things, you will always have the ability to make good things happen.
Friday night, 11.30pm another week is ending and I can’t help but having this bitter feeling coming back up to...

New partnership for GPR
Great news !
Last week, after I met with the founder of a very well known running specialty store in France, we found mutual benefits in working together.
Great way to get the word out about GPR and get runners involved at a grassroots level.
Sparing partners who will support us along the ride, check !

Comme mentionné dans un précédent post, j’ai récemment eut l’opportunité de pitcher le projet GPR devant la caméra de Xavier Vespa pour RWW France.
Voilà le résultat !
Maintenant il n’y a plus qu’à ! Le test de la version beta 1.1 (et oui on en est déjà à la deuxième version!) est en cours en interne et on ouvrira la 1.2 début novembre aux beta testeurs....
