cott McGillivray is a carpenter, contractor, real-
estate investor, TV host and producer, educator,
and more recently, a Dad! Meet this very savvy
young entrepreneur who turned a school project into a
successful business model and career.
Total Fit Magazine: You were very successful at a
young age. What would you say is the secret to
having a healthy, happy life, at any age?
Scott McGillivray: It has been my motto for a long time, but I
think being able to balance a healthy home, healthy finances
and a healthy body is the key to success. Achieving each
holds its challenges, but as with anything, you have to work
at it and maintain it there is no such thing as instant results!
You have to be a problem solver, plan ahead and keep a
positive attitude.
TF: How did you get started on this real-estate
investment path?
SM: I bought my first house when I was 21, lived in the base-
ment apartment for 8 years and rented the rest of the house
to pay for all the expenses, while saving money towards the
purchase of another property. The model worked, so I just
kept going. The key is to start small, and slowly build up your
portfolio.

f you ever have mornings where you feel a little
sluggish or lazy and have trouble getting to your
workout, think of this inspiring runner to get a
swift motivational kick in the pants.
81 year old Ed Whitlock is originally from England, but settled
in Canada after completing his engineering studies. As a
teenager, he liked running, but life kept him away from it for
years. In his 40s, Mr. Whitlock rediscovered the joy of run-
ning. And he has been running ever since. Not just long
distances, but pretty quickly too! He is the only man in his
70s to have run a marathon in under 3 hours. As if that wasn't
enough, he has accomplished this feat more than once! Here
are a few training insights from a gentleman-marathoner that
are sure to fire you up.
Total Fit Magazine: You were recently injured but are back
in training and racing. Have you changed anything in your
routine since the injury?
Ed Whitlock: My planned routine is unchanged. However,
whenever I return from injury it is always a matter of progres-
sion to get back to the level I was before the injury. The longer
the time off from injury, the longer and more difficult it is to get
back to full training.
TFM: In September, you added another record to your impres-
sive list, by setting the unofficial world half-marathon record.
How do you reward yourself after breaking yet another re-
cord?
EW: Quiet satisfaction.
TFM: You returned to running in your 40s. What brought you
back to the sport, and kept you going for the past 40 years?
EW: To some extent it was an accident. I went to a local track
club to help out. Not being given anything specific to do, I
started jogging around the track and gradually got involved.
TFM: Are there any secrets you can share on training, nutri-
tion or life, to help us become as fit as you are, and remain
so, for as long as you have?
EW: I just eat a normal every day diet, somewhat low on meat
and high on carbohydrates. I do not take any supplements,
except for vitamin C for cold prevention, and glucosamine
with the hope that it will help with some arthritis in my knees.
I think the main advantage I have is genetic. Being judicious
about when to pay attention to aches and pains is also im-
portant; it's always a delicate balance between caution and
over-caution.
TFM: You mentioned arthritis. Running can put quite a strain
on joints. Have you had any joint surgery or do you have any
tips on maintaining healthy joints?
EW: I have had no surgery, but as I said, I do take glucos-
amine, although I'm sceptical about its efficacy. I try to train
in a low impact way of running, by minimising the bouncing.
This is also helped by my low weight. My gait is different
when racing.
TFM: You train for slow 2-3 hour sessions in your routine.
What other complimentary activities do you have in your
routine other than running?
EW: All I do is run. If I can't run I veg out.
TFM: Surely you must enjoy something other than running?
EW: I do some vegetable gardening and waste a lot of time
on the computer.
TFM: Do you have a funny running anecdote?
EW: I really can't think of one. Running is deadly serious!
TFM: What is your most cherished moment in your running
career?
EW: I suppose that would be my marathon at age 73, in just
under 3 hours (2:54:49). There are quite a number of races
I look back on that still give me satisfaction, including some
from my teens.
TFM: Are there any other goals you have yet to accomplish?
EW: One of the advantages of age-group competitions is that
every 5 years a new set of objectives comes about. So roll on
85! I wonder if my knees will hold together that long.
We certainly hope the knees stay fit for many years, so you
can continue to run like the wind and motivate us.

raditionally, Izakayas in Japan are what pubs are
to Europe; a place to sit and drink after work,
where you can also have a bite to eat, allow-
ing you to stay longer. Downtown Ottawa now has
its very own spin on tradition in Izakaya; a modern
Asian Kitchen and Bar, complete with a wink to the
customary lanterns.
The space is an open concept, with some separation
provided by beautiful red drapes, providing an area
for larger groups, as well as more quiet sections for a
dining room setup. The bar section is generous, pro-
viding lots of room and comfortable seating. A cozy
lounge area, complete with couches, makes it very
easy to extend your visit. The urban feel is accentu-
ated by the outdoor lighting.
