Hi All! I feel like I just said “Happy Fall” and now it’s “Happy Winter”! As always it seems to have come on suddenly. Three weeks ago we were over-heating in the TCS Waterfront marathon, and now we’re bundling up. Seriously though, this does take some adaptation for our bodies, so just be patient with […]
Hi All! One week after our teammates ran a marathon in way too hot conditions, it is now objectively cold out. Life isn’t fair! Can we please always just train hot, race cold. Also, don’t forget to wear your lights out there. Cars do not expect pedestrians to be moving at the speeds we move. […]
Hey Gang! Congrats to all who ran the TCS Waterfront Marathon this weekend! Michelle S, Sam F (BQ!), Sam R (PB!), Jeff S (BQ!) and in the half, Cindy, Madalyn, Carol and Zoe look like they all had solid days. And thanks to our cheer squads out there! I heard from athletes that you were […]
Hi Everyone! What a weekend of running! Huge congrats to our Chicago marathoners! Amanda (BQ!), Meagan (BQ!), Jordan (PB! BQ!), Chris (2 seconds off PB! BQ!), Cheryl (First ever marathon!!), Carolyn (PB and BQ!) And in Thornbury Steph came 4th overall in the very hilly half marathon and in Nova Scotia Amy H ran the […]
Hi Gang! Huge congrats to Miguel who ran the Wineglass marathon on the weekend! I think there is a story there – we’ll have to hear it next time you’re out. And in Toronto a bunch of us ran the Toronto Women’s 5K: Erin (1st in AG), Brianna (2nd overall, 1st in AG), Monica (1st […]
Hi Everyone! The great fall weather continues! Hope the tapering marathoners are really enjoying it. I will say, it’s perfect for runners at all stages – even those coming back from injury. Run/walk in minus 20 degrees is just too complicated to dress for (If you know you know). Below is a guest post by […]
Hi Gang! Happy actual official Fall now that we’ve passed the equinox. This is the best time for running with cooler temps, beautiful colours, and still enough daylight to admire them! Let’s enjoy this while it lasts. This week I’ve been thinking about the stories we tell ourselves and how we process our performances. I’ve […]
Hi Everyone! No races that I know of this past weekend – lots of people are right in the thick of training and doing so well! This is the crescendo of hard work for many – it’s ok if you’re feeling tired and looking forward to the end at this stage – that is […]
Hi Everyone! What a weekend of racing! In the Georgina Full we had Rob Dunne who nailed his goal time and BQ and is going to Boston Baby!!! Jason also ran a BQ but tbd if it will get him in – these Boston standards are for serious! Michelle S ran the half, and […]
Hi Everyone! Huge congrats to Graeme who ran his 7th Major with the Sydney Marathon and finished in 3:31 which is a BQ! Great job Graeme! And happy back-to-school and back to the office for many. Fresh starts are the best – there have been quite a few people who have written about “the […]
