2017 Race Schedule

I think I very well get the worst friend of the year award. Recently, one of my closest university friends let me know she was engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid. My response was: “As long as it isn’t on one of my race weekends.” What I really meant was as long as it… Read More…

SeaWheeze Race Report

SeaWheeze Race Report

Happy Friday everyone! Blogland has been bustling with SeaWheeze race recaps this week and I thought I would add my two cents as well. This was my very first time in Vancouver and I fell in love with it (to the surprise of no one). Because this race is more about the experience than the race, I… Read More…

Race Report: Gatineau Half Marathon

This past weekend, I headed to Gatineau to run the MEC half marathon and to have a biomechanics appointment with one of my friends, Annie Jean, who I met at the Transrockies 120 miler in Colorado this summer.
