So, the boys had stomach flu last weekend and the rest of us thought we dodged it. Then, Jonathan felt a bit off Monday so he stayed home from work. My stomach still felt fine but I knew I was close to the limit w/ my running. I was not over-training or ignoring an injury or anything like that, but …

I’m doing a bit of blog updating and thought I would remove my past results so stuck them here just in case I want to refer to them later. It’s kinda neat to look at. Consistency is key, that’s for sure! You can tell when I had my babies too (2006, 2008, 2011)!Past Results (archive)2010May 30 – Canadian Marathon Champion …

Not the most flattering picture of Leah but sometimes we all feel like this! Life has been crazy busy and I am running more than ever (and loving it!). All is well and I know I say it many times, and will say it again, that I am so blessed to have a great husband, 3 wonderful kids, and a …

This picture was taken after we returned home from Micah’s 6th birthday party (we had it at our church, which was great because the 9 boys could run around in the gym!). Can’t believe I have a 6 year old! So, the week after my new 8 km PR of 27:43 was a solid one. I must say that physical …

Today was a day of favourites:1) Waking to the sound of my baby girl in her crib next door and feeding her before getting ready to leave for my race. What a quiet house!2) Running a personal best and capturing first female at the Burlington Robbie Burns 8 km in 27:43.3) Enjoying emend, porridge, and a hot shower right after …

This week I ran another highest-mileage-yet week, of 145 km. It ended w/ a solid 35 km long run this morning. Roads were quite snowy so there was much more effort required but it was great to run with James, Henry and Clayton. It had been quite a while. Seems like when I make my return from another baby, one …

The fact that I turned 35 last week is no biggie. My husband was kind enough to notify me that I’m half-way to 70. Gotta love that! Many marathon moms peak in their mid-late 30’s and I sure hope I am one of them. Constantina Tomescu won the gold at the Olympic games at the age of 38. And of …

It’s been a week since my new speedy 10 km PR of 35:29 and I finally took a well-deserved day off. I hadn’t taken a whole day off since CHRISTmas day, 2 weeks ago and sure needed to. The last few weeks have been crazy! We had an offer accepted on a house (in town) so had to get our …

New Year’s Eve was quiet. We returned from the Lehrbass family Christmas and got the kids to bed for a much needed sleep. Jonathan and I watched a movie and stayed up until midnight to bring in the new year together.We went out on a date the next morning…to the New Year’s race! Congrats Jonathan, on finishing your first 5 …
