I know I live in Canada and should be used to the cold weather, but it’s definitely been one of the colder winters in recent memory. Sometimes when I go outside and it’s -30 I have a slight flashback to when I lived in Sault Ste. Marie in northern Ontario. I thought one of the … Continue reading
Merry Christmas! – Fairytale of New York
Merry Christmas everyone! When I was in Ireland this past summer, we did a Christmas in July theme at a bar. One of the songs that they kept playing was The Pogues Fairytale of New York. I can’t seem to get that song out of my head so here is Sarah and Gianni (from Walk … Continue reading
Reindeer Games – Santa Shuffle 5k, 2012
Happy Christmas Eve! According to the Santa Tracker, Santa is making his way around the world right now so I thought I’d take this time to recap the Santa Shuffle 5k that we ran last year. It was on Dec. 1 and Dan and I, along with our friend Jen, formed a team called Reindeer … 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
Just let the elf pass you – Tannenbaum 10k
On Dec. 1, I ran my last race in 2013. Dan, who hadn’t run a race since Warrior Dash in July, ran it with me. We chose the Tannenbaum 10k because all proceeds go to the Centre 55 Share a Christmas Program. The race is also held in The Beach, which is pretty close to … Continue reading
The happiest place on earth! – Disneyland Half Marathon Trip, Part 4
After running the half marathon we were starving so we went back to the hotel and showered and changed. The first thing we did after that was walk over to IHOP for food. I’d never been to an IHOP before so I was excited. I couldn’t decide if I wanted breakfast or lunch, so I … Continue reading
A prayer to Lego Buzz Lightyear – Disneyland Half Marathon trip, Part 3 (Race Recap)
We were up bright and early for the Disneyland Half Marathon. It was September 2012 and my second half marathon ever. I’m used to eating oatmeal every morning, so I had packed some instant oatmeal as part of my half marathon breakfast. What I forgot to bring was a spoon, so I ended up having … Continue reading
Get your beard on! – Santa 5k (Hamilton)
Before I continue with my Disneyland half recap (which is coming up!) I wanted to take a moment to talk about a race I ran on Nov. 24. Arlene and I ran the Santa 5k in Hamilton! A Santa suit is included in your registration and you get to run with hundreds of other people … Continue reading
California love – Disneyland Half Marathon trip, Part 2
We got up bright and early for our first full day in Disneyland. One thing that I really like about Disneyland versus Disney World is that it’s very walkable. California Adventure Park and Disneyland are right across from each other, so it’s really easy to jump from park to park. There aren’t any shuttle buses … Continue reading
California here we come – Disneyland Half Marathon trip, Part 1 (Denver Airport, Disneyland half race expo)
I’m finally getting around to posting my recap of our trip to Disneyland and the Disneyland Half marathon, which was the second half of completing the Coast to Coast Challenge. Our trip and the Disneyland Half Marathon took place over the Labour Day weekend in September 2012. This worked out really well for us because … Continue reading
