Since Nicola and I are running our third Warrior Dash together tomorrow I thought it would be a good time to recap last year’s race. After running Warrior Dash in 2012, Nicola and I returned for more mud, fire and hills. This time Dan decided to run it too while Connie returned to cheer us … Continue reading

Return to the Berger Pit – Berger Pit Fun Run 5k, 2013
The Berger Pit Fun Run at Kristen’s family’s camp was the first 5k I ever ran. In July 2013 I was excited to return and bring Dan with me. It was a blazing hot day and very different from the last time I had run it. It was a smaller group, but still fun. Dan … Continue reading
Rainbow Brutes – The Color Run Montreal, 2012
Three weeks after running the Rock n’ Roll Montreal Half Marathon, I returned to Montreal for The Color Run! Or as I like to call it, The Colour Run! (I am Canadian after all.) Shannon, Leena, Isabel and I formed a team for The Color Run called The Rainbow Brutes! We had a lot of … Continue reading
Crush it (again)! – Montreal Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon 2012
I decided to wear a tutu for my third half marathon. It was one of the best decisions of my life. More on that in a bit. I had a quick breakfast (a bagel) at Second Cup on the morning of the Montreal Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon. We made our way to the metro, … Continue reading
Regular cappuccino – Rock n’ Roll Montreal Half Marathon Expo (2012)
Three weeks after running the Disneyland Half Marathon I set out to run the Rock n’ Roll Montreal Half Marathon. It was my third half and I felt a little crazy running it so soon after the Disneyland half. Almost everybody who we had run the Disney World Half with (Kristen, Paul, Anna, Eddie) was … Continue reading
At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say it’s alright – St John’s 2013
Since I recently posted about how we spent Labour Day weekend in 2012, I thought I’d write about how we spent Labour Day weekend in 2013 too (this will also help distract me from all of the snow we’ve been getting lately). Once again we found ourselves travelling. This time we were headed to St. … Continue reading
Holla holla duck! – Newfoundland trip (St. John’s)
After leaving Nova Scotia, we were off to Newfoundland! The flight was pretty uneventful and Amy and Sophie met us at the airport. Sophie was only five-months-old at the time and it was our first time meeting her. Amy was nice enough to be our tour guide for the day in St. John’s. Since it … Continue reading
The hunt for McLobster – Nova Scotia trip, Part 4 (Minas Basin, Hall’s Harbour, Grand Pre)
Dan and I started day 4 in Nova Scotia with a nice breakfast at the Olde Lantern Inn. Not only does Al own the b&b, he also makes a mean breakfast. We met a few of the other guests staying at the b&b including a couple from Fort McMurray (who were originally from France). They … Continue reading
On the vineyard – Nova Scotia trip, Part 3 (Lunenburg and Grand Pre)
On our last morning in Halifax we decided to go for a run (we were training for the Disneyland Half Marathon and tried to keep up with running on our trip). We were staying at the Westin Nova Scotian hotel and I was really intrigued by the messaging they used. They seem to want to … Continue reading
Those who like it, like it a lot – Nova Scotia trip, Part 2 (Peggy’s Cove and more Halifax)
On our second day in Nova Scotia we hopped into the car and headed out to Peggy’s Cove. We also had beautiful weather and thankfully, it wasn’t as hot as it was on Canada Day. As we started to walk to the lighthouse, we stopped at William E. deGarthe’s gallery. He was a painter and … Continue reading
