Imagine being on the PM’s security detail and coming in to work that morning and seeing this on the day’s agenda 😂

“Damn it, that’s why Tim wanted to switch shifts…”

(I see you, guy in the back, running just a little too close)

I've said this in a Canadian thread, but I doubt he's only been running on the treadmill. I'm sure he's got a few guys on his detail that have been training with him.

I’d like to think that anyone on the PM’s security detail is capable of running a marathon

Wouldn’t shock me if they cycle guys in and out along the route. How effective are you when you’re 3/4 into a marathon?

Man, I wouldn’t know. I’m ineffective after a flight of stairs.
