On our second day in Nova Scotia we hopped into the car and headed out to Peggy’s Cove. We also had beautiful weather and thankfully, it wasn’t as hot as it was on Canada Day. As we started to walk to the lighthouse, we stopped at William E. deGarthe’s gallery. He was a painter and … 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
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
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
Trust the Luger – New York
In June 2011, Dan and I went to New York City to visit Alia. We had both been to New York before but never together. Alia was living in Williamsburg in Brooklyn and even though it’s hipster central, we still had trouble getting a cab to take us there. We tried to take a cab … Continue reading
I left my heart in San Francisco – Bay to Breakers 12k, Part 2
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
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
