Running Nova Scotia
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
I just got back from travelling to the East coast for the first time to celebrate a friend’s wedding. It was a gorgeous place and the scenery was off the hook. I am finally starting to feel recovered to do more frequent workouts in my off season and I took full advantage while we were travelling. I did 3 runs including a workout and a couple hikes.
One of my favourite parts of travelling is that you can do new routes with fresh scenery. I thought I would share a couple of my favourite workout views from Nova Scotia with the files if you ever find yourself in the area and want to go check it out:
15 KM run the morning of the wedding. We took a little side road and it lead us to a little gem of a fishing dock.
After checking into our hotel in Dartmouth, we headed on a hike in a near by park. The leaves were BREATHTAKING.
The day after the wedding, we checked out Bluff Trail for a run/hike. It ended up being just a hike – the terrain was extremely technical.
I absolutely loved the East coast and fall was an amazing time to visit. This was my last big trip planned for 2016 and although it was awesome running Nova Scotia, I am ready to be home for a while. I have been away almost every weekend this summer and it is time to regroup and take a breather. I have some huge travel plans for 2017 and so I am looking forward to a period of resting up, sticking around locally for a while and getting ready to GO again next year.
The focus for the remainder of my 2016 year will be on prepping my house for some serious winter training, MAYBE doing one more half marathon to close out the season and maintaining the fitness I have built over the year.
I always love running somewhere new! Great post and loving the photos. Enjoy the winter training.
Thanks Sophie. You better believe I will! 🙂
Last awesome place was Paris and London….my husband and I were just talking about how we wish we should have taken our running stuff…can you imagine running by the Eiffel Tower in he morning?! Next time we will for sure.

Oh my goodness, that would have been a gorgeous run! I did the Paris half marathon and it was absolutely amazing.
Your photos are great Jess! The last place I travelled to and ran was Salt Spring Island, which isn’t that far from home here in Vancouver but it still felt like an amazing getaway with epic scenery. Thinking about it is making me miss summer a LOT!
