I already know that this will be a really long post, so I’m splitting it into multiple posts. The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon (STWM) is one of my favourite races. The 2013 STWM was my first full marathon. Since then, I’ve run the half in 2014 and the full two more times in 2015 (my PB) … Continue reading
Back in August, my friends and I ran The Color Run in Toronto (I keep writing “colour” since I’m Canadian). I’m still working on the blog post about it, but in the meantime, here’s a video that I put together.

Previously Canada Running Series … Continue reading

My last race in 2015 was the Tannenbaum 10k, which is organized by the Toronto Beaches Running Club (BRC). This year marked its 10th anniversary and it was the biggest one yet with over 1,000 participants signed up and the introduction of a kid’s race. Although the race is growing, it still retains its small … Continue reading
