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
Crush it (again)! – Montreal Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon 2012
I decided to wear a tutu for my third half marathon. It was one of the best decisions of my life. More on that in a bit. I had a quick breakfast (a bagel) at Second Cup on the morning of the Montreal Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon. We made our way to the metro, … Continue reading
Regular cappuccino – Rock n’ Roll Montreal Half Marathon Expo (2012)
Three weeks after running the Disneyland Half Marathon I set out to run the Rock n’ Roll Montreal Half Marathon. It was my third half and I felt a little crazy running it so soon after the Disneyland half. Almost everybody who we had run the Disney World Half with (Kristen, Paul, Anna, Eddie) was … Continue reading
Everybody looked like Papa Smurf – Hypothermic Half Marathon
On Sunday we ran the Hypothermic Half Marathon in Sarnia. People have asked me why we chose to do a run in Sarnia. It was partly for the fun snowflake medal, but mostly so we could visit our friends Stephanie and Jamie and their daughter Madison. We hadn’t seen them in about a year, so … Continue reading
Revenge of the Yellow Jacket – Yorkville 5k 2012
Since I don’t have too many updates while training for my next half marathon (and no travel plans until June), I thought I’d go back to trying to recap my older races. 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
Running through the polar vortex
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
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
