Hi Everyone! I think I’m not alone in feeling a renewed sense of hope and optimism for the world after the weekend’s US new president and vice-president announcement. Hope and optimism are very strong forces and motivators. Let’s use them. On that note, I was listening to a podcast on motivation and habits. […]
Hey Gang! I guess yesterday we had a little reminder of what running in the winter is like. And we managed! We’ll be able to do this. Here’s something that I was thinking about and inspired me this week. I was chatting with a friend who is a very accomplished runner. She has […]
Hi Everyone! Apologies for the late email today. I’ve been away from my computer all morning – yay! On that note, my thoughts this week revolve around getting ourselves set up with what we’ll need to keep us going for the winter ahead. I don’t want to be pessimistic, but I think I’m […]
Hey Gang! First up huge congrats to Amy Hayes, Zoë Webster and Samantha Farrell who ran half marathon and 30K virtual races respectively this past weekend! Amy and Zoë both ran their “A” goals solo on a windy day. And Sam just decided to “jump in” to a 30K (virtual Around the Bay) race […]
I heard somewhere that older people tend to be more drawn to and appreciative of flowers than younger people are, because they have experienced and witnessed more of the world’s ugliness.

Hi Gang! Hope everyone is enjoying the awesome Fall weather we’re getting – whether you’re running, walking or sitting on a bench, now is the perfect time to enjoy being outside! My thoughts this week have been centered around recharging. Many of our schedules have shifted dramatically over the past few weeks to […]
Hi Everyone! First up congrats to our long course triathletes who competed (and medaled!) on the weekend – some after having run virtual Boston the weekend before! What the heck – I think there’s something different in the water we’re drinking. Very inspiring y’all. I don’t have official results but I believe Carolyn Steele-Gray […]
Hey Gang! I’m still basking in the glow of the weekend where we had a crew running the Virtual Boston Marathon and a huge turnout of supporters, volunteers, pacers, to help them out. I’ve gushed about this a lot already, so I don’t want to over-gush, but I am just feeling so grateful […]
Hi Everyone! Am I the only one who’s feeling the buzz of energy in the air? It suddenly really feels like Fall and fresh starts. My son expressed his feeling of anxiety to me about going back to school this week as a bad feeling in his chest. I said “Actually, that’s a […]
