A Blister. A Runners Problem.

This weekend is a busy one but one I am looking forward to. I have brunch with my besties and their little ones Saturday morning and then on Sunday I am volunteering at the Oak Bay Half Marathon working at the bag check starting at 6:15am. Since I am not a fan of running in the afternoon or evening that …

Simple Saturday

Yesterday I spent the day in Vancouver at the Fairmont Pacific Rim meeting new people who work in the Tourism and Hospitality industry as well as students looking to further their future. It was a good day and I got to see a new part of Vancouver that I had never been to. On my …

Misty Monday

This morning I woke up to the sound of one of our cats crying for food. I scooted her out of the room and closed the door so I could go back to sleep for another hour. I was then woke by an alarm going off in our neighbourhood from a car or in someone's …

Easy run

In search of newspapers

Last night before I went to bed I planned on getting up and going for a run before work because I have a girls night planned after work. I typically go to run club on Wednesday nights but I wouldn't be able to go. I had also decided earlier in the week that this week …

Seeing things solo

Typically when I go for a walk on my lunch break at Royal Roads University I make plans to go with different friends on campus so we can get caught up on each others lives and who doesn't like to walk with someone rather than solo...if the opportunity is there. Well, today I ventured to …
