Another half marathon, another PB! We did this race as a progression run starting at 5:40/km and ending at sub-5:15/km pace. I woke up at 5:15am, had my PB&J at 5:30, and headed out the door at 5:45am. Tracey picked us (Lisa, Brandon, me) up at 6am from People's Church. We arrived at the Beaches …
So. Much. Fun. That pretty much sums up my first triathlon. Background I signed up for a triathlon relay 2 years ago without knowing anything about the sport. I wasn't even a runner yet back then but I was really drawn to the idea of participating in a triathlon and thought a relay was a …

Wow...Marathon #3 was tough. I didn't get my "A Goal" (sub-4) but at least I got my "B Goal" (PB). It was only 44 seconds faster than my @towaterfront42k time, but a PB is a PB! 😂 We met up with Sean, Jon, Vanessa, Denuja, Suba, Ravi, and Luis at the start. It was great …
When my husband and I decided to do a couples weekend trip to NYC, I decided to make it into a runcation. Of course I did! So, this is both a race report and a vacation report. 😂FridayWe flew into Newark on a Friday night, checked into our hotel in Newport, had poboys and crab …
My 2nd race of the year was also my 2nd race in 2 weeks so my plan was to treat it as part of a LSD run and not to race it. This was the first time I did the Spring Run-Off in High Park. It's apparently the oldest race in Toronto and kicks off …
Warning: Super long post. Sorry not sorry. The short version My first race of the year is now in the books! I am super happy with my time of 2:47:26 (5:35/km). I didn't think I'd be able to sustain a 5:40/km average given the hilly course but we were able to bank enough time in …
My second marathon is in the books! Lisa and I ran it in 4:10:37, a 14 minute PB for me! WOOHOO!!! Read on for all the mind-numbing details, aka my stream of consciousness. About 5 weeks before... I had this idea of getting matching t-shirts made for Lisa and I to run her first marathon. …

On Saturday, my whole family did the ZooRun 5k together. It was great to share this race experience with my husband and kids. It was a double run day for me because in the morning, the Ninjas did a sunrise run at 6:30am to celebrate the first day of Autumn. Jim also organized a breakfast …
Originally, I wasn't planning on doing this race but our #STWM training plan had us doing 27km this weekend and since Lisa had already signed up eons ago, she told me to sign up because it's "free". Except that it's not really free because there's a minimum $100 donation. I didn't want to put that …
Woohoo! I'm a marathoner! My first marathon experience was perfect! The weather was cold but great for running, the scenery was beautiful, the course was hilly (but awesome), I was rocking my RunNinja shirt, I saw Domingo at the beginning, I didn't have any bladder or GI issues or injuries, and my family was there …
