I woke up feeling pretty good about how I did at the KPMG Front Street Mile Race the night before. It was a solid first race of the year and vastly different from the first race I ran in 2014. Let’s just say that race didn’t go according to plan. The second part of the Bermuda … Continue reading

Bermuda Triangle Challenge – KPMG Front Street Mile, 2015 Race Recap
I’ve been meaning to finish my posts about The Bermuda Triangle Challenge, which I ran back in January, for a while now. If you missed part 1 about our arrival and first impressions of Bermuda you can read it here. As I mentioned in part 1, it was our first full day in Bermuda and after … Continue reading
How long distance running prepared me for the Inca Trail
“You’re a marathon runner so you should be fine.” That was always the first reaction that I got whenever I told people that I was going to hike the Inca Trail. To be honest, I wasn’t as convinced that being a runner would help. The conditions were just so different from my regular running conditions. … Continue reading
May Madness
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
Escaping winter – Bermuda trip 2015, part 1

I will be with you again – New Year’s Eve in Toronto, 2011
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
May we all have our hopes, our will to try – New Year’s Eve in Sydney, 2006
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
Watching the ball drop – New Year’s Eve in New York City, 2004
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
Christmas in July – Killarney, Ireland
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
