The 9th annual @summiting700 trail race, presented by @columbiasportswear_ca at @bluemtnresort was this past Saturday.

What an amazing day! I love race day announcing because it’s truly the most special day to be a part of; so full of emotion, people trying hard things, challenging themselves and supporting each other.

This year all of my kids participated in the event, many of the @collingwoodrunners athletes I coach, and lots of my friends! Congrats all!

Thanks @outrunthedarkness for being my co-host for the day, to all the volunteers, runners, sponsors, and Bob Miller and friends for making an incredible event.

Can’t wait for year 10!!

Couch to marathon in 16 weeks?!?

After suffering another setback with my knee this Spring, and with a fall marathon around the corner, I’m taking a very conservative approach to training this marathon cycle.

Low mileage. 3-4 runs a week. Running slow (for REAL) with walking breaks.

It’s humbling to re-start, especially when you know where you were at previously, and also when you’re surrounded by superstar friends! But I’m trusting in the process… and will see how it goes

I am proud to be Canadian. I also acknowledge that being Canadian means reckoning with a troubled history of colonization, oppression and harm.

I am so grateful to live in a country with “free” healthcare, where I can choose to work, have the freedom to exercise, learn, and be me.

I am thankful for our beautiful spaces, and realize that there is still so much work to do to protect our land and lakes and natural resources.

To me, being Canadian means celebrating the outdoors, supporting one another, being curious, and sometimes a little humble. It is standing up for what we believe in, and doing what we can to make the world a better place.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 by @runhardmomhard

I just wanna ride! 🚴🏼‍♀️

Thanks so much to all the staff, volunteers, sponsors, family members, and riders that made the 2026 #soldiersride possible!

Weather was perfect for riding, vibes were great, post ride food and beers were 👌🏼

Thanks to everyone that donated and supported my ride. It was a special day to be able to bike100km with my dad, and see my mom out volunteering on course! AND we were able to raise over $235,000 for @soldiersfoundation !

See you next year for year 5️⃣

Never did I ever think I would win a medal at Speedo Canada Masters Swimming Nationals 🥉🎉

As a self proclaimed “runner” who swam for cross training, I can now officially say I am also a SWIMMER! 🏊‍♀️

I am so proud of the progress I have made this year. I have gained confidence and improved my technique in the water, competed in masters swim meets for the first time this year, and improved my race times every meet.

Thank you so much to our coaches, the volunteers, my teammates, and our families for your support!

A big thank you and congrats to Kevin, Courtney and Patrick for having me as your teammate and HECK YES on our 3rd place 🥉 Mixed 200-239 age group 400m free relay across Canada (official time of 5:32:78 🔥)

Excited for what’s to come! 🏊‍♀️

What did I do with myself for two weeks of NO RUNNING?! The answer is- ALL THE THINGS!!

After I stopped sulking, I booked physio, chiro and massage. I dove full in to the kids spring sports schedule. Coaching @collingwoodrunners started, still volunteering at @hospice.gt , and dove into biking and swimming. Spent time birding with the kids. Went on back to back date nights! Read and cleaned. Drank a tumeric smoothie 🤢. Checked out @litwineandbooks . Looked for jobs (hiring? Lmk 😉). So… yeah…. This is your (and my) reminder that your life doesn’t end when you have an injury. Focus on what you can control, and enjoy the time to do “other” things. And do your physio!!!! 🤪

But also I’m very excited to be back running (slowly) again!

I thought I was doing everything right…. Slowly building up my training, adding in strength, cross training…. But it still wasn’t enough to prevent me from getting injured 🤕

If I’m being honest there were things I could have done to prevent this, but of course you don’t realize that at the time. And it doesn’t make it hurt any less. I was REALLY looking forward to running @mississaugamarathon tomorrow, and now I won’t get that chance.

Injuries SUCK.

Good luck to everyone racing tomorrow! I will be cheering you on from the couch while eating a bowl of ice cream 🫠

THIS is masters swimming!!! 🏊

What started as cross training through injury has turned into a full on love affair! @georgianbaysquall is truly a one of a kind team. Everyone is so supportive, passionate, and genuine. They are there to support you in your good days and bad. They raise you up when you need a hand and encourage you to reach higher, try scary things, and keep swimming!

I didn’t have “swim at provincials” on my bingo card last year, and decided it would be a goal of mine to do this year.

Did I come last in my age group in many of my events? Yes. But did I still have HUGE PRs and learn so much about myself? Hell yes! I am so proud of everything I accomplished.🥹

Wouldn’t have traded this experience for the world. This weekend meant everything.

We can do hard things!!!!!
