How I’m feeling one month out from the BMO Vancouver half-marathon!
Today marks one month away from my half-marathon! I am super excited but also nervous. It has been a bumpy road to get to this point. Training started strong in December and was unfortunately put on pause when I fractured my foot in February. This was originally supposed to be a 4 week break which…

Why I chose running!
Running is a passion of mine and has been for quite some time. In the past, I have gone through phases where I get really serious and then I get busy, lose progress and have to start over. It’s a vicious cycle. Last year, sort of in a last minute decision, I decided I wanted…
