Hey Gang! Congrats to Jason and Mike G who did the Muskoka Half IM in what sounds like very tough, hot conditions! Might take you guys a little longer to recover from this one given the heat effect. And I just wanted to say, there is a lot of exciting stuff going on in […]
Hey Gang! Happy Canada Day! Hope everyone is taking a little breather somewhere at some point to just sit back and relax, enjoy, and celebrate – in whatever way works for you. It’s just good sometimes to pause and move away from your routine – even if your routine is great and works for […]
Hey Gang! Congrats to all Ekiden racers!!!! I was so sad to miss it this year but was so proud of everyone who ran and cheered. Way to go team! That’s what I’ve been thinking about this week. The concept of having and being part of a team. I’ve mentioned this before, but when I’m […]
Hi Gang! Congrats to Jeff and Miguel who ran the UnderArmour 10K, and to Chris who ran the Buttertart Half Marathon! All very solid races and I think the conditions were a little rough with the wind. Way to go All! Tonight we have the Ekiden! 7 pm start at the spit. If you’re not […]

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!
