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
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
Still travelling, eating and running
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged (much longer than what I would have liked). I’m happy to say that I’ve been busy doing the usual; eating, travelling and running. I recently went to Ireland and it was everything I imagined it would be and more! So eventually I’ll have an update on my trip. … Continue reading
There’s no stopping us right now – Las Vegas trip
I’ve been meaning to recap my trip to Vegas for a while now. There was no running involved with this trip (though we were training for the Disneyland Half at the time and brought our running stuff just in case). Who were we kidding though? We were in Vegas! So instead, this post has a … Continue reading
May Madness
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
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
The hunt for McLobster – Nova Scotia trip, Part 4 (Minas Basin, Hall’s Harbour, Grand Pre)
Dan and I started day 4 in Nova Scotia with a nice breakfast at the Olde Lantern Inn. Not only does Al own the b&b, he also makes a mean breakfast. We met a few of the other guests staying at the b&b including a couple from Fort McMurray (who were originally from France). They … Continue reading
On the vineyard – Nova Scotia trip, Part 3 (Lunenburg and Grand Pre)
On our last morning in Halifax we decided to go for a run (we were training for the Disneyland Half Marathon and tried to keep up with running on our trip). We were staying at the Westin Nova Scotian hotel and I was really intrigued by the messaging they used. They seem to want to … Continue reading
