Hi Everyone! First up, huge congrats to Cindy who raced the Gatineau Loppet 50K skate ski race and came third in her age group in 3:38! I only mention the time to appreciate how long she was racing for. It was fast too. I am traveling this week, so I won’t see you […]
Hi Gang! Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you all get to spend some time doing something you love with someone you love. If you really can’t manage that today, try to do it tomorrow or the next day. It’s a good habit to get into. I’ve been thinking a lot about tech and how […]
Hi Everyone! Huge congrats to Amanda Bugatto who ran the Donna Half Marathon in Florida over the weekend in a “training through” time of 1:40 for first in her age group! Way to represent and help put a spotlight on breast cancer and celebrate its survivorship. Wohoo! I have teenagers living in my […]
Hey Gang! Ooh, it’s cold again. I guess we knew it would finally come back. It is basically February. There’s just one month of this. We can do it. I’m training for a longer race, so have been doing longer runs, and so have had more time with my wandering thoughts. The thought […]

Hi Gang! This week marks getting back into the regular swing of things. If you’re looking for an early season race to kick things off, the Robbie Burns 10K is back. A bit earlier this year – Jan 22nd. If racing more was on your list of goals this year, here’s a great way […]
Hi Everyone! Happy New Year!!!! I’ve seen many of your goals coming in, and I’m really not just saying this – I smile so wide when I read them. I just love seeing the energy and enthusiasm and passion come through. I also see a lot of self-reflection in them, which I love, and this […]
Hi Everyone! This will be a short one. Hope you’re all having a recharging holiday – whatever that means for you. That’s what I’ve been thinking about – how do I recharge? For me, it doesn’t really matter where I am. I can bring a mindset with me wherever I go. It’s the […]
Hi Everyone! Hey, guess what? Tomorrow is the shortest day of the year – the Winter Solstice. Pretty soon we will start noticing days getting longer and a little more sunlight hitting our eyes. And some people even love the dark! It brings about changes of energy which sometimes we need in our lives. […]
