Winter Blues 2023
For the first time since the 1990s (or pretty much, as far back as I can remember), I can say that I haven’t really had to deal with “Winter Blues.” I was relatively happy this past winter. Like some folks, usually every winter, I go through some sad periods and or bouts with depression. But…

Marine Corps Marathon 2022 – Eighth Marathon
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 – Seventh Marathon
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.

There was an event on campus to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. I saw on the poster “Mi’kmaw Lawyer,” and…

Blue Nose Marathon 2021 – Sixth Marathon
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). But rather; will focus on preparation, a few in-race moments, and afterwards. One day after the Fredericton Marathon, I reached out to Erin Poirier of…

Nova Scotia Marathon 2021 – Fourth Marathon
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).…
