This blog is MOVING! :)

So it's almost time for my website to launch! Whoohoo! It's almost ready (and it's live so you can get a sneak peek) and my blog will be done from there going forward:

Pride Run

Reasons I love the Pride Run:

10. It's a small, intimate sized run, yet still a chipped 5km in the City.
9. There's a beer garden at the end.
8. People dress up in hilarious and semi-inappropriate wear. Entertaining, ballsy, and hilarious. (Though I did miss the hot guys who always dress up in the best costumes - Babewatch, There's no place like homo, etc.)
7. The food at the finish line includes Whole Foods, Dufflet pastries and other decadent recovery items.
6. It raises money for a good cause.
5. It's inclusive, accessible, and has an awesome community feel to it.
4. The volunteers. They're EVERYWHERE. And while they may not know all the answers to people's questions, they're enthusiastic and supportive.
3. Free massage/chiro on site.
2. You can chew the air it's so hot, and there's the burn of the 5km, but you still finish smiling.
1. It was my first ever race and the reason I got into running. It was after years of being unhealthy and it was my first race accomplishment and what gave me the passion for running, being fit, and accomplishing goals. (Now I just have to break my PB from that first attempt!).

Pride 2012:
So fun to run with friends from Moksha, Lulu, York, Running Room, and combine all those worlds together.
My first time running a race with an oozing wound (creating a nice visual, aren't I) and a fractured rib.
Came in under 25, and I'll take it. Proud of all who finished with amazing times and kicked arse!

July schedule repost

Happy Canada Day (late!) I always have to recognize that day, as it means a lot to me! I had a great June with so much fun at City Chase and at the Pride Run (review on Pride Run coming shortly!).

What are you doing to get active and shweaty in July?
