Hey All! First of all, huge congrats to Steph who ran the Georgina Marathon, crushed her PB, came 2nd in her age group and got a BQ! And Congrats to Carol and Zoe who ran the half, and Chris R, Gillian, Dave K and Eleanor who ran the Scotiabank 10K! What an amazing weekend […]
Hi Everyone! Wow – huge congratulations go out to all of our Boston Marathon runners from yesterday. I’m still tired from following all of you on the app! But seriously – a huge day run with so much heart. Most of you overcame some significant obstacles just to get there, (physical injuries and setbacks, […]
Hi Everyone! I’m typing this with wet feet from a run – a feeling I think we all will have to get used to this season! What I’ve been thinking about recently is how much our mindset can affect our performances. I know we’ve discussed this before, but I specifically wanted to call out […]
Hi Everyone! I’ve been thinking a lot about patience recently. I think a lot of my pondering has been prompted by having a teenager! But I’ve been thinking about what makes us impatient. A lot of it, I think, stems from not having faith. In ourselves, in the process, in others. We don’t trust […]

Hi Everyone!!!! First up, congrats to all our triathletes this past weekend! Shauna, Adam, Carolyn and I went to Montreal for the Esprit de Montreal ½ Ironman, and Jon McCrea did the C3 ½ Ironman and Zoe and Carol did the relay. Wohooo!!! As nervous as I was leading up to it, it was […]
Hey Gang! How great are these temps for running right now? Ah the sweet pay-off from all those hot runs – enjoy!!! Most of us are in various stages of training and running. We are quite a diverse, big group, and as is natural, we are not all doing the same things. That […]
Hi Everyone! Hope you’re all finding ways to beat the heat. Way to go everyone who’s getting in their long runs and rides despite it. What I’ve been thinking about lately is how we all seem to cycle through what we ask of running. Sometimes we just want it to be there for […]
Hi Everyone! Hope you’re all soaking in August and running in the sun (with sunscreen!) when you can. We are getting some beautiful days so let’s soak them all in so we have them deep inside come February! One thing I was thinking about and wanted to share was to make sure our […]
Hi All! Hope you’re all doing well and staying cool, hydrated and replenished. All three of those things take a lot more work in these conditions, so don’t take it for granted. Your body’s usual cues for thirst, nutrition and electrolytes/nutrients may be slightly off as you adapt to the heat, so make sure […]
