POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I was driving to the cottage with my nieces/son tonight when I saw an older gentleman pushing a walker with a Dollarama bag strapped to the front and a cane on top. He had a noticeable limp and I did the calculation on how far the dollar store was from us… probably 2 kms.

I couldn’t stop thinking about him. And as we’re pulling down the road to the cottage, Soph looked at me and said “… are you crying?”

“Yeah, im gunna go help that old man. Tell grandpa a lie. I’ll be back in 20.”

Best decision I’ve made all month. Without going into too much detail, Roy’s had a really tough go over the last month and has an upcoming hip surgery. He said he’d been walking for hours.

We chatted for 10 minutes and we exchanged numbers because Roy’s been doing body work on cars for over 4 decades and my SUV is in desperate need of some TLC. Funny thing is that I’ve low key been thinking I should probably see about getting someone to work on it (because it’s become laughably bad lol), but I was overwhelmed at the mental load.

And look at that… one good deed returns another. I’m really hoping people don’t take this post the wrong way. I know it’s kind of a “look at me” post, but I genuinely don’t mean it that way. I just want people to pause for a second and think how big of an impact a a little gesture has.

This was selfish giving. I’ve been so depressed since I broke my foot that I saw the opportunity to help someone and thought “this will make me feel better.” And you know what? It did.

Let’s fucking gooooo! Three years ago, I ran my first ever staged ultra. It was a 100 km race over 3 days up and down the mountains in Revelstoke BC. I was hooked.

When I finished, I thought… I wonder what 100 kms all at once is like? Yesterday I found out. Would you be surprised to hear it was hard?

I’ll do an actual post on the race with details, but tonight - with my muscles still burning - I’m revelling in what I achieved yesterday. A three year goal in the bag, babyyyyy. #ultramarathon #trailrunning #lfg #salomontrailrunning taken in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador by @grummlinds

I had so much fun at @macgregorpointpp today solo celebrating Canada Day. I did 10 kms broken up with a little swim & float at one of my favourite hidden gem beaches.

Got home just before the heat broke and the thunderstorms started. Hope everyone else had a fun day too!

Letssss gooooo. I have built this life brick by brick, baby.

I was at work a few months back and ran into a guy I haven’t seen in years. We hugged and then he said: “I follow you on social media and I gotta tell you - it’s so good to see you doing so well. I was worried about you after your brother died, I think a lot of us were, and you’ve just done so well for yourself and you seem so happy.”

And OOOO BOY, I cried right there in the guardhouse. Because he said all the things I’ve been thinking about myself over the last few years. Im just doing so well and none of it’s for show. I’m truly happy. I’m living with purpose. And if that’s not a reason to celebrate this holiday season, I don’t know what is.

This is family ❤️

Who knew when I hired 18-year-old @maya.bellamyy to be Mac’s nanny that she’d quickly become an important part of our family.

Even though she’s out east at school, she still had a bedroom in our house and a space for her car in my driveway.

How lucky am I to have family that extends beyond blood. We love you, Maya! Happy 22nd birthday and we can’t wait to see you back here next weekend! by @grummlinds

I may be bias but I swear I’ve gotten cooler with age. My 30’s have been the best yet. I understand myself better, I’m secure in who I am, I love myself, and I’m ready for every new adventure life throws at me.

Speaking of new adventures… I’m excited to head on another solo trip in a few months - this time to Mexico for @puertovallartabyutmb! I’m starting the season with a 50 km and still have to pick a 100 km race for the year. Any suggestions?

At 34, I had my son.
At 35, I had a 6-pack for the first time in my life.
At 36, I ran my first marathon.
At 37, I ran my first 50 km ultramarathon.
At 38 (this year), I ran my first 100 km race.

I am SO much stronger- mentally and physically - now that I’m a mom. Can’t WAIT for 39. 🫶

It’s 2018.

I just found out my boyfriend has cancer. My brother is also sick from a disease that will take his life two years later.

I am stressed. Coping in unhealthy ways, but I also start running. I wasn’t a “runner.” But I started running until I felt like my lungs would collapse. I would run as fast as I could to feel the pain … maybe to take away the pain of everything in my real life.

It became a consistent part of my life that gave me peace - even just for a moment.

Then my brother died… and Covid hit and everything felt wrong. But I kept running. Through the grief and the pain. Through pregnancy and motherhood. Through my eventual breakup to the man with cancer who I now have a beautiful son with.

Through it all I found consistency, peace, solitude, motivation, community - all from running.

So when you see me post a story at 6 am, im not just running. I’m out there healing. Growing. Learning to be a more self assured and resilient version of myself.

How do you get your long runs in, Lindsay? People ask me that all the time. Because like… how do you feasibly train for ultramarathons with a 4-year-old?

Honestly, it’s not easy. It takes a lot of coordinating, plenty of early mornings, and a whole lot of support from my parents.

When we’re not at the cottage, I strap my 55-pound son into a stroller packed with snacks and games and will go as long as he’ll let me… normally 20-25 kms before he starts getting bored. But on really lucky weekends, we head to the cottage where I get some extra help from my parents.

The tough part is enthusiastically participating in the rest of the day’s events when your body is tired and you want to just loaf on the couch.

Being a mom runner is not for the tired or weak, that’s for sure. #womenwhorun #ultramarathon #ultratraining #running #singlemom taken in Wasaga Beach, Ontario by @grummlinds

I’ve been delaying posting a summer roundup but the leaves are falling so it’s probably time.

Summer ‘25 was all about beaches, trails and hanging with the people i love most! I did a lot of running and a ton of exploring. I saw massassauga rattlesnakes for the first time ever up near Lion’s Head and had a pretty cool time hanging with swat teams from across the province who were in the neighborhood for some friendly competition.

I’d like to thank myself for putting together an epic list of adventures this summer. Can’t wait to see what autumn will bring 🍂 by @grummlinds
