Wow! Where did May go? The last month has been pretty busy and it looks like I have a summer full of adventures with good friends and good food ahead of me. The biggest news that I have from the month of May is that I took the plunge and signed up for my first … Continue reading

Mud, fire and Charlie Brown – Warrior Dash
My friend Nicola ran the first Warrior Dash that was ever held in Ontario (back in July 2011). I was out of town that weekend so I didn’t get to see her in action, but it seemed like fun. For those who don’t know, Warrior Dash is a 5k mud run with obstacles. In Ontario, … 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
Cow on fire – Nova Scotia trip, Part 1 (Canada Day in Halifax)
In July 2012, Dan and I went to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Our good friends Aaron and Amy (or A squared as I like to call them) live in Newfoundland and there was a seat sale so we decided to go and stop in Nova Scotia on the way. I’d always wanted to go to … Continue reading
Sorry about the hill! – Around the Bay 30k
The Around the Bay 30k road race in Hamilton on March 24 was our first race in 2013. I had heard many amazing things about this race, which is also the oldest road race in North America (older than the Boston Marathon by three years). Dan and I had also never run more than 21.1 … Continue reading
Crush it! – Disney World Half Marathon trip, Part 4
I don’t even remember what time we woke up for the Disney World Half Marathon. It was so horribly early that I’ve blocked it from my mind. We were on the shuttle bus to Epcot for the start by 3 a.m. I was really nervous and it was also really cold out. Because I tend … Continue reading
Let the memories begin! – Disney World Half Marathon trip, part 3
It was time for the Disney World Marathon Weekend Health and Fitness Expo. I had never been to a health and fitness expo before and didn’t know what to expect. I also wasn’t feeling well on this day and felt really nervous about the half. Dan had been fighting a bad cold for months and … Continue reading
Taller wizards in the back – Disney World Half Marathon trip, Part 2
Dan and I met up with everybody at Hogwarts in Harry Potter World in Islands of Adventure. I had heard that it was going to be cold that day, but I wasn’t prepared for how cold. It was about 8 Celsius, which would usually be ok (we’re from Canada) only we weren’t dressed for 8 degree … Continue reading
Let the adventure begin! – Disney World Half Marathon trip, Part 1
2012 started off with a bang as Dan and I arrived in Orlando. We were exhausted because we had spent New Year’s Eve with our friends, having dinner in the 360 degree restaurant on the CN Tower and then at their place where we played Bohnanza all night. Because it was New Year’s day, we … Continue reading
I fell in love again, all things go, all things go – Chicago
Dan and I were at a wedding with our friends Justin and Cassandra when we started talking about Chicago. Dan and Justin had both been, but Cassandra and I hadn’t, so we talked about how that summer we should all go together. Fast forward to the spring and Justin and Cassandra started sending us potential … Continue reading
