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. After qualifying with Blue Nose, I honestly felt like it took all of November to emotionally and mentally recover from the marathon (physically I was good […]

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). 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
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 […]

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 […]

LesMills LIVE Amsterdam 2017 and BODYATTACK™ 100
On October 2, Kerri, Erica, and I took a trip to Amsterdam for LesMills LIVE (we met up with Erica’s sister Erin in Iceland). Similar to Stockholm in 2015, this was (to my knowledge) the third time that class filmings were taking place outside of New Zealand. What made the trip extra special was that […]

Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Summer Games 2017
On August 24, I did the Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Summer Games (NSMSG) 5K. This was the same race that I did last year in Membertou First Nation, but this time, it was in Wagmatcook First Nation, the host community. I was determined to defend my gold medal win from 2016. The day before, I left […]

Maritime Race Weekend 2016 – First Marathon
On September 17 (which is also the seventeenth anniversary of R. v. Marshall), I finally did my first marathon at the Maritime Race Weekend in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. I signed up for this one back in June once I learned more on how to find and register for races. It was also the only […]
