WARM MILES — WINTER 2025

Because movement should warm more than just the body.
Edmonton winters are different.
 They don’t tap on the shoulder — they hit the bones.
 They test the edges of resolve, routine, and resilience. And while I’m out training in that cold — running, skiing, rowing, moving — I’m always aware that there are people out there who don’t get to choose their miles.
This winter, I’m turning my own miles into something that gives back.
Every mile I train = $1 donated to the Boyle Street Emergency Response Fund.
 No conditions. No caps. Just movement turning into warmth.

WHY THIS MATTERS

For people living rough in Edmonton, winter isn’t an inconvenience — it’s a threat.
 Boyle Street’s Emergency Response Fund supports the outreach teams who are out there in the cold every day, delivering gloves, blankets, hand-warmers, warm drinks, medical care, and emergency shelter access when temperatures fall to dangerous levels.
It’s help in the moment — the kind that keeps people alive.
Turning my miles into support for that work felt like the most honest way I could contribute:
 movement becoming warmth, discipline becoming compassion, the Mileage Game meeting the city where it hurts most.

HOW WARM MILES WORKS

The premise is simple:
Every mile I train this winter = $1 donated.
 Running miles. Ski miles. Erg miles. Indoor training miles.
 If I move, I count it — because warmth shouldn’t depend on perfect conditions.
Each month, I’ll:
  • Track the total miles
  • Calculate the donation
  • Share the donation for transparency
  • Reset the counter and start again
If others want to join in by matching miles, donating directly, or creating their own Warm Miles routine, they’re welcome — but this initiative begins with me, and with the miles I put in.

WHY WARM MILES BELONGS HERE

Mileage Game has always been about the unseen hours — the quiet work, the long breath, the repetition that shapes who we become.
 Warm Miles is an extension of that belief.
The idea that training isn’t just personal.
 That miles can create something bigger than pace or heart rate.
 That the warmth we build in ourselves can be shared — quietly, directly, without fanfare.
This winter, the miles matter.
 Not just to my engine, but to my community.

Because the Mileage Game isn’t just about going farther.
It’s about who we become along the way — and who we can warm with us.
