Plain Can Be Lovely

May was an incredibly busy month. First, due to timing I had about a week to wrap things up at my old job. It was bittersweet given that I had been there for 4.5 years but I was also excited for the challenge of my new job. After finishing up at work I then spent two weeks in Peru, a trip that we’ve been planning since January. Dan and I had an amazing time in Peru where we conquered the classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. I’ll be posting more about that later.

 
I jumped for joy after summiting Dead Woman’s Pass (over 4,200 metres above sea level) on Day Two of our Inca Trail trek. Being a long distance runner definitely helped, but not in the ways that I expected. I’ll do a blog post on that soon.

While I was in Peru I also found out that I would be joining the Digital Champion community for the Scotia Toronto Waterfront Marathon (#STWM). I am thrilled to be part of this inspirational community and looking forward to connecting with other runners online and in person. This also means that I am committed to running my second full marathon. I’ll be sure to post updates on my marathon training from now until the race.

It’s been busy but that’s just the way I like it. I’m looking forward to this summer and will have more updates soon (such as a recap of my 10th half marathon, which I ran less than a week before flying off to Peru). Stay tuned!
