The Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas half marathon was my twelfth half and also the craziest one that I’ve ever run. It rained, we were hit by 20-30 mile per hour winds and we took a 35 minute break to renew our vows on the course. It was crazy, challenging and awesome all at the … Continue reading
I’ve been pretty delinquent about writing my race recaps this year, so I’ll try to catch up. A few weeks ago I ran the Yorkville 5k. I haven’t run this race for two years but I think it may become one of my annual races. At $100, registration for the race is pricey for a 5k, … Continue reading
For the fourth year in a row, Nicola and I conquered Warrior Dash. You can read about our previous Warrior Dash races here: 2012, 2013, 2014. This year our friend Jay joined us as well. Steph (who I ran the Race for Health with) was going to join us too but had to back out … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading

I don’t write enough about Toronto even though I love to do touristy things here. I will try to capture more of that because I love Toronto and it really is a fun, vibrant city to live in (and to visit). Dan and I weren’t planning on doing anything for New Year’s Eve in 2011 … Continue reading
Not only did I spend Christmas 2006 in Sydney, Australia but I spent New Year’s Eve there as well. Sydney is known for their spectacular fireworks, so my friends and I decided to picnic by the observatory near the botanical gardens where we had a good view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We arrived as … Continue reading
I love New Year’s Eve. Whether I celebrate with a small group of friends, with just Dan or with a large crowd of strangers, there’s something about marking the end of one year and the beginning of another that appeals to me. I guess I love the symbolism and any excuse to wear party hats, … Continue reading
Happy Boxing Day! Dan and I are hoping to hit the shops today to see if there are any good deals. It’ll be a good way to work off the turkey from yesterday’s dinner. Since I’ve been sharing some of my favourite travel Christmas memories, I thought I’d share one more to round out the … Continue reading
Wow where did the summer go? I’ve been meaning to post this for a while and in the meantime I’ve continued to run and have some fun travel stories to share. I’ll try to get back to posting more regularly, so stay tuned! Back in July, Nicola and I tackled Warrior Dash for the third … Continue reading
