“I'm pushing myself to my extreme, and I want to live in this life — I don't want to just exist,' says the ultramarathoner
An ultramarathoner from Alberta is just days away from completing his attempt to be the fastest person to run across the country.
Speaking over the phone as he ran near Inks Lake on Monday, Proctor told Castanet Kamloops he feels “a mixed bag of emotions” with three days to go before the finish line. Proctor, who is from Okotoks, Alta., started his journey on May 16 in St. John’s, N.B., and plans to finish on Thursday, July 21 in Victoria, at the Terry Fox monument.
“I can’t even get out of bed,” Proctor said, adding that once he starts moving, his legs start to improve. Proctor, an accomplished runner with several Canadian records under his belt, said he has been tackling ultramarathons — races longer than a standard 42 kilometre marathon — for 17 years, with years of preparation completing long and shorter distance events.
