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
Merry Christmas! I’ve been trying to finish my race recaps before the end of the year. In honour of Christmas, I wanted to recap my second last race of 2015. A few weeks ago, Dan, Jen and I ran the Santa Shuffle 5k in Sunnybrook Park. The last time we ran this 5k, Jen and … Continue reading
I reached a very important running milestone in May when I ran my tenth half marathon! As I was getting ready to run the Goodlife Fitness Toronto Half Marathon, I reflected on my first nine halfs. Even though my training hadn’t been as diligent in the weeks leading up to Goodlife, I still had high … Continue reading
I have been beaming since running the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon (#STWM) on Sunday. It was my second full marathon. I’ve run #STWM for the past two years. It was my first full in 2013 and last year I did the half. What a difference two years make. Caution: This post is very long…just like … Continue reading
With three weeks to go until marathon day, I’ve been feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. When I decided to train for this marathon I thought I would feel more confident, since I’ve run one before and know that I can finish. As of a few weeks ago I was still feeling nervous, but … 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
I was originally going to try to blog about my training every two weeks, but as you can see that fell apart quickly. I’m now a little over halfway through my training plan for the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon (aka #STWM), so I decided to recap some highlights. I also have a blog post with race … 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
One of the things that I’m going to try to do during this training cycle is blog more about how my marathon training is coming along. I started training for my second full marathon, the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon (STWM) during the week of June 14. Here’s a breakdown on how my first two weeks … Continue reading
Last year, I had my heart set on running the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in D.C. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in getting a spot through their lottery system and they cancelled the race this year. I was thrilled when they announced that they were replacing it with a 15k race in Toronto! I picked up … Continue reading
