Hi Everyone! No races this past weekend that I know of. Don’t forget to let me know when you’ve raced so we can all acknowledge you! I might have to give this newsletter a new heading called “Wise words from my friends”. Last week as I met my friend Amanda for an early morning run, […]
Hey Everyone! Huge congrats to Jason who ran the Ottawa marathon and got a BQ! And to Laura, Erin and myself who ran the TO Women’s 5K and came 2nd,1st, and 1st in our age groups respectively. Yay all of us. Well, sort of yay me. If it was not then it was close to […]
Hi Everyone! Huge congrats to Cheryl who ran the Denver half marathon, and paced her friend to a giant PB! I love that. Way to share your energy. In fact, that brings me to what I’ve been thinking about this week: competitiveness vs generosity of spirit. I’ve been watching high school track meets recently, because […]
Hey All! Huge congrats to all the mamas who ran the Sporting Life10K! Madalyn, Steph, Lyndsay, Michelle S and Michelle P (who runs w us virtually). Wohoo!!! Super speedy times out there!

Hey Gang! Huge congrats to those who raced this weekend! Chris Fortin just missed the sub-19 min mark by seconds at the Spring Run Off. When there are no massive hills and no gale force winds, he’ll sail right under it. Monica ran the 8K there and came 4th in her age group. In the […]
Hi Gang! Huge congrats to those who ran ATB! Which turned out to be Kerry who came 4th in her AG in the 15K, and Jeff and Jason who did the 30K! Colette was taken out by a virus before the race, and Jordan was too, but gamely tried until I think about 20K. This […]
