Marine Corps Marathon 2022
On October 30, 2022, I completed my eighth Marathon; Marine Corps. The Marine Corps Marathon takes place on the ancestral homelands of the Piscataway and the Nacotchtank. This one was on my mind since 2016. I wanted to do it in honour/memory of my best friend Clint Phillips, who served from 2000 to 2004 (and…

Boston Marathon 2022
On April 18, 2022, I completed my seventh marathon; Boston. The Boston Marathon takes place on the ancestral homelands of the Massachusett, the Mashpee Wampanoag, and the Pawtucket people.

Blue Nose Marathon 2021
On November 8, I completed my sixth marathon; the Blue Nose. I won’t recap the race route in too much detail (as I already wrote about it in Mary 2017).

Nova Scotia Marathon 2021
It was over 800 days since my last marathon. While I did run 42.2 kilometres a few times since the pandemic began, it obviously wasn’t a competitive race, and I’ve only done three 5Ks since March 2020. I’ve also done a ton of regular running, mainly around the block. But I missed racing. Once I…

Gorilla Mat – Review
While we moved into our new house on January 2018, I didn’t start utilizing our large basement room (the exercise room) until July 2019. It has laminate flooring, which isn’t safe nor great to work-out on. But I was able to practice BODYATTACK™ and BODYPUMP™ on it with either modifications and or lower intensity. Then…

Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Summer Games 2019
My home community of We’koqma’q First Nation hosted the 2019 Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Summer Games (NSMSG). In addition to the usual 5K race that I do, I decided to also try Track and Field. The last time that I did a Track and Field event was the 5000 metre (5000M) in high school (May 2000).…

Fredericton Marathon 2019 – Third Marathon
On May 12, I completed my third marathon. I was scheduled to do this one last year, but I developed sciatica just days beforehand. So I had to withdraw from the race. While I was back to my regular running near the end of Summer 2018, I avoided full marathons for the rest of the…
