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
Screw calm and run! – Zombie Race, 2012
Three weeks after running The Color Run in Montreal, Kristen, Nicola and I ran The Zombie Race in Milton.

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
Revenge of the Yellow Jacket – Yorkville 5k 2012

A week after running the Disneyland Half, Dan and I ran the Yorkville 5k in Toronto. We both raised money for a local … 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
Thanks for the motivation – Run, Walk & Roll 5k
Six days after running our first marathon, Arlene and I headed out to run a 5k race with the goal of finishing in under 30 minutes. The weather was terrible, cold, wet and pouring rain. We were both glad that we didn’t have to deal with these miserable conditions during the marathon. I know I … Continue reading
If you leave hungry from the Berger Pit, it’s your own fault – Berger Pit Fun Run recap (my first 5k!)
Kristen’s family has a camp (in southern Ontario we call them “cottages.” My friend tells me in Newfoundland they call them “cabins.” Who knew?) in Echo Bay called the Berger Pit. I love the Berger Pit. I think it’s one of the most peaceful and relaxing places to go. Every year, her family organizes a … Continue reading
