Traditions

Hi Everyone!   Happy Holidays to all! Hope you’re all enjoying some time with the people you love and, let’s be honest, a different type of hectic-ness. And also hopefully you’re finding some downtime.   Over the past few days I’ve been thinking about traditions. Why we have them, what they mean, whether they’re important. […]

Dreaming

Hi Everyone! First up I want to say a huge Thank-You to everyone for my beautiful and thoughtful Christmas gifts! I will Blitz my body thoroughly (it is in need of a good blitzing) and the CAMH donation is right up my alley. And I absolutely love the Epic Runs of the World book. It’s […]

Complaining and microdosing

Hey Gang!   As usual, I left out a couple of results from last week’s Holiday 10K: Chris Fortin in what I think is a PB of sub-40 (wohoo!), and Ian Gray – honourary LES-er! I do believe races are done for a while – there is a Boxing Day 10 miler in Hamilton and […]

Hanging tough

Hi Everyone!   First an update from an oversight last week: Zoë came in third in her category at nationals xc, not fourth as I had erroneously stated. Podium! Way to go. And this past weekend we had a bunch of stealthy fast racers in the Holiday10K! Adam (PB!), Cindy (PB!), Eleanor (1st in age […]

Running community

Hey Gang!   Huge congrats this weekend to Zoë who raced in Nationals x-country and came 4th in her age group, and Jen Drynan (who’s always finishing her workouts as we start at 6 a.m.) who ran the Holly Jolly 5K and came 1st in her age group and ran sub-20! Way to go you […]

Training our way

Hi All! Congrats to Andrew McKay and Nir who ran the Philadelphia Marathon on the weekend! I haven’t heard their stories yet, but I know there were some battles and demons fought out there. Way to go guys.   Last weekend cross country fans saw the NCAA x-country championships take place. The women’s race was […]

For the love of base

Hi Gang!   Congrats to Zoë who ran the club provincial x-country championships on the weekend and came 4th in her age group! Ooh x-country … so hard – way to go. I believe for most of us the racing season is wrapped up. There are some winter races which are fun to jump into […]

Cats and dogs

Hi Everyone!   Wow, what a weekend in New York! We had a such a great crew down there running AND cheering! I love so much how this team goes and supports each other in these huge accomplishments. Racing and doing SO well on such a tough course we had: Elizabeth Gladney (BQ and 2nd […]

Growth mindset

Hi Everyone!   As far as I know only one person raced this past weekend –Shauna C and her daughter Tegan raced the Day of the Dead 9K! (and I only found out bc of a random conversation – you guys need to tell me when you race so we can all celebrate you!!!) Racing […]

Experience!

Hey Gang!   Huge congrats to Mike Greenberg who ran the Niagara Marathon in a PB of 2:55! It was a windy day and not perfect conditions, so all the more impressive. Coming up, we have the Hamilton Half and the NYC Marathon in two weekends! This week is the last little push with some […]
