This race has been on my radar for a few years now but I’ve been busy with other things. Honestly I love a good campy experience no matter how it happens. I also love a good costume and a reason to dress up as a grown up. Check and check. Truthfully it’s far from home,... Continue Reading →
I talked just a little bit about this race in my last half training update but that was just a little teaser to get you to read this post. And it worked! See I’m really smart. I signed up for this one way, way back when I was feeling all itchy to race. I was... Continue Reading →
If I’m left unsupervised and without clear instruction for any length of time I will find and sign up for a race. That’s exactly what happened this past Thursday. I was left unattended with no clear plan and so I was scrolling the social medias, and shampooing the very light upholstery in my grown-up-lady car.... Continue Reading →
I actually really thought about not doing a race recap for this one and just running the race, but where’s the fun in that? I’ve been ‘racing’ with the older folks the last couple of weekends. But also running lots of hills a bit faster than in previous years in between to try to break... Continue Reading →
This year I did the Bluenose 10k, my regular Bluenose race with my stepdad. It looked like this was going to be my volunteer year but next year, I mean it. For a while it looked like I might not participate at all and that made me unexpectedly sad. I think I can say now... Continue Reading →
I did my first 1/2 marathon with Sole Sisters the inaugural year in 2016 and it was pretty great. But I wasn’t in a big rush to go back there and run it again at least by myself. Don’t think for a second it’s not a great place to run alone because you won’t feel... Continue Reading →
I’m not a member of one of those super serious or even semi-serious invite only running clubs in the city. I’d like to think I have my own where we focus on finishing over pace, love over agony and fun over everything else and anyone can join! The reason I put that out there is... Continue Reading →
This was the second year I participated in this run and the second year it was held, but weirdly the first time I did it alone. That wasn’t for lack of trying though. It’s funny last year this was the first run I had ever done with someone else and this year I was (sort... Continue Reading →
Want to know a secret honey and I haven’t been away for two nights or more for fun since the year we met 15 years ago. Sure we have gone away for fun once this summer for one night for my triathlon at Melmerby Beach but we brought my mom and step dad, buzz kill!... Continue Reading →
