A couple of years ago, I was feeling unfulfilled at work, unhappy with my body, frustrated with the lack of excitement in my life, and disappointed with my nutrition choices. I knew I needed a change, but wasn’t sure how to go about it until I stumbled across and old pair of running shoes and hit the pavement that very same day. And the rest; as they say, is history!

1 year of preparation, 1 torn patella, 56+ hours of physical therapy, 190 mile drive, multiple bowls of rice pasta, sprinkled with a couple moments of fear… and I’m officially a half marathon finisher. Yes, you read that right – I finished it. I was majorly doubting my ability to complete this race. I’d tried…
We have just 2 months until my half marathon in Edmonton. Everything I’ve done in the past year has been leading up to this moment. My patella recovery, trying out spin for the first time, and enrolling in a 3 month masters swim class, were all scary moments. But none have made me as anxious…
