Hey Everyone! I was so impressed with how many people showed up last Wednesday with the temps in the negative teens. It will be a bit warmer tomorrow (not warm!), but now we know we can do it! Way to go all. This past week I’ve been feeling tired. I’m not sure why. […]
Hi Everyone! Ah, hope everyone is getting settled and back into their routines. I know, it’s flippin’ freezing out, BUT the days are getting longer and sunnier every day! Small wins. Many people are taking this time to dig in to new plans and start working towards exciting running goals. I love that. I […]
Hi Everyone! Belated Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone, and Happy New Year!!!! Hope you are all finding the right balance of time spent with loved ones and runs to escape them! Ha. Seriously though it is weird being thrown off your routine, and hopefully you’re all finding some recharging or fresh perspectives […]
Hi Everyone! No races that I know of this past weekend. Coming up there is the Boxing Day 10 miler in Hamilton, and the Hair of the Dog 9K in the beach which I know some in this group have done before. The former actually gets some competitive runners out. The latter is more […]
Hi Everyone! Wow – what a weekend of running! In the Holiday 10K we had: Cindy (sub-40 and PB!), Chris (sub-39 and PB!), Eleanor (first in age group!), Cheryl, Laura, Erin, Carolyn and Ian! And out in California at CIM a bunch of us ran the marathon – Brianna (PB, BQ!), Steph (PB, BQ!), […]
Hi Everyone! I believe the only racer last weekend was Pearce at Nationals Cross Country! Pearce came 17th overall as a masters runner in the country. Outstanding. Coming up this weekend we have the Holiday 10K and CIM races! Wohoo! And today we have a guest post from Tanis (THANK YOU Tanis!!!) Guest posts […]
Hi Everyone! Huge congrats to those who ran the Holly Jolly 5K! Colette and fam, Michelle Pitman (trains w us virtually) and son, Monica and Jeff! Some fast times and such a fun, festive, feel good event. Put it in your calendars for next year – I am! I’m now in taper mode […]
Hi Everyone! Huge congrats to Pearce who ran AO’s cross country on the weekend and came in 6th overall masters (over 30) and 2nd TRUE master (over 40)! Cross country is so gritty with the hills, mud, grass, weather, … so impressive. I think this is the time of year, whether training for something big […]
Hi Everyone! Pretty sure there were no races last weekend. Lots of good training and more beautiful weather though! It’s getting cool and dark, so don’t forget to wear your lights!! (and your gloves – brrrr…) As my personal training ramps up and becomes more focused, I’ve been thinking about what it takes […]
Hi Everyone! Happy Daylight Savings. This really works in the favour of morning runners. I for one really appreciate the earlier sunlight! Congrats to Meagan who came 3rd in a 25K trail run! Way to take advantage of the season. Speaking of which, I’m putting on my “mom” hat now and telling you all to […]
