Several months ago, Kristen let me know that Anna, Eddie and Paul were planning on running the Perth Kilt Run. As you can guess by the name, it’s mandatory to wear a kilt!

Back in April, I ran my first trail race! I first heard about the 5 Peaks race series from Jaime (who is a 2017 ambassador) and Hanoki.

As I mentioned in my Ottawa Marathon Race Recap post, I ran the race with my GoPro in my hand. After wading through a few hours of footage (some of it painful, most of it entertaining), I’m happy to present a recap of my weekend. Since I carried my GoPro in my hand, a lot … Continue reading
