Our second day in San Francisco was devoted to more touristy things. I love touristy things! I love taking pictures with iconic statues (or ridiculously big things like the Wawa Goose, the Love statue in New York etc.) and I love to buy cheesy t-shirts. So this day of our trip was devoted to all … Continue reading

I left my heart in San Francisco – Bay to Breakers 12k, Part 1
I’d always wanted to go to San Francisco, so when I heard about the Bay to Breakers 12k foot race, I filed it away as something to do one day. I happened to check the website one day and found out that 2011 would be the 100th running of the Bay to Breakers and that … 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
A year of running, food and travel
So it’s been a year since I last blogged. I know the two people who read this blog have probably missed me. 😉 I’ve been looking back on the last year and I have so many stories to share. There was lots of running (3 half marathons, 1 10k, 2 5ks, 2 obstacle runs (Warrior … Continue reading
We did it!
On Saturday I ran my first ever half marathon (and so did Dan), in the “happiest place on earth,” Walt Disney World! I’m so proud of us and everybody who ran with us (a lot of people from the Soo). Kristen and I ran the first 10 miles together. At around mile 10 my legs … Continue reading
What are you doing New Years Eve?
I can’t believe 2011 is coming to a close already. New Years Eve is one of my favourite occasions, and as we prepare to celebrate, I just had to share this video by Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Brings a smile to my face. Enjoy!
Why we run
As I’ve mentioned before, I started running in the summer of 2010 and am currently training for my first half marathon. Â In the last year, I’ve run (chipped-time) a 12 k, a 10 k, and a 5 k race/fun run, in that order. Â Obviously I did things a little backward. Â Running has been hard and … Continue reading
Project management, team building & April Fools’
April Fools’ Day is an excellent chance to participate in some fun team building activities. When I worked in Sault Ste. Marie we took this opportunity on more than one occasion (and not always on April 1). Here’s why it’s such a great team building activity: Each person must be able to work effectively as … Continue reading
Learning to Run
The other day Kristen asked me if I have updated my blog lately. “No…” I replied sheepishly. “You know I do check sometimes,” she said. The last time I posted we were in the midst of Canada Reads. Unfortunately, I still haven’t had a chance to listen to the rest of the Canada Reads debates … Continue reading
Not on Ticket to Ride but still fabulous
So the destination for my bachelorette ended up not being anywhere on the Ticket to Ride board. My friends took me to (drum roll please) Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! It was amazing and I feel so lucky to have such great friends! I will update more on it soon.
