@towaterfront42k was an absolute vibe.

While I am disappointed in my race time, I am not sad about the lovely girls weekend with friends.

Now it’s time to let my body recover, and my hip heal up.

Thanks again for a fun weekend @thediaryofafitmom @danielle.hansma @daniellen_jones

Best team @runnerschoicewaterloo 💕

And thank you coach @dr.sean.delanghe 🏃‍♀️

What should my next marathon be?

I don’t usually talk politics, online or in person, but I do believe in showing up to vote at every level of government, every election ✅🗳️With municipal election day coming up on October 26, I wanted to share a personal story.

I first met @jeyasforwaterloo back in 2006 when I came to Waterloo for university. He was the Residence Life Coordinator and one of the first people in a leadership role I got to know. A few years later, when he was working with the Laurier Students’ Union, he even helped me (multiple times) get on the VIP list at Turret. 😂

Nearly 20 years later, we’ve stayed connected. When I started looking for ways to grow the running community I’d been building through Runners in Motion & RCW, Jeyas was someone I could turn to.

Through his involvement with the Uptown Waterloo BIA over the past three years, he’s helped create the space and opportunities for our community to grow in ways that weren’t possible before.

Light the Night is a great example of that. What started as an idea has grown into an event that brings people together in Uptown Waterloo Square. His support has also helped us create bigger community moments, including Global Running Day, which saw over 300 people come together.

For me, Runners in Motion has always been about more than running. It’s about getting people moving, creating connections, and making our city a place where people want to show up and be part of something. Sometimes, all it takes is one opportunity or one person opening a door to get that movement started.

I’m grateful to Jeyas for the support he’s shown me and our running community, and I’m excited about what we can continue to build in Waterloo.

I don’t share political endorsements often, but when someone has personally helped you build something that gets people moving and brings a community together, I think that story is worth sharing.

If community building and creating opportunities for people to connect matter to you, take the time to learn more about Jeyas ahead of the October 26 municipal election and share this with your friends and comment below if he's helped you...

Medal Monday - party in Toronto edition

I’ve been running Detroit regularly on this weekend so I was grateful for the opportunity to try the @towaterfront42k race courtesy of the @tcsnorthamerica #teamtcsteachers.

This race did not disappoint. The city brought the energy.

With my knee not being 100% since July, I made the turn at the 20km to switch to the half marathon. Since my longest run was 12k and the rest of my training on bike, I actually felt really good. I pulled off a decent time with stopping and slowing down to enjoy the many cheer squads on the course.

Goals for race day
✅run 10 min walk 1 min intervals
✅ don’t worry about time
✅ acknowledge any friends scene on course
✅✅✅ have tons of fun and enjoy all of the cheer squads

Mission accomplished!!!

2026 @towaterfront42k half : 1:47:49

I love the half mary distance. It's my favourite forsure. I love racing it or I love running it for fun at a race. Yesterday, the goal was to stay w @torontosrunningrealtor and drop him but the opposite happened.

The goal was 1:34-1:40. A goal going sub 1:35. B goal any PR and I genuinely believe the fitness was there. It was the perfect race morning as well but sometimes you have to do some damage limitation (one of my fav F1 sayings) and just enjoy the time on the course! 🥳

Not every race comes together perfectly, but the work is still there. Learn from the lessons, now recover, and keep moving forward in the journey.

It was awesome seeing so many of you finish in person in Toronto! Or if you raced elsewhere getting updated with your stories/posts. Huge congratulations to everyone who raced! Happy Medal Monday! Reel coming soon over @runnersinmotion highlighting YOU!

Just me here celebrating this one.

Lots more to come but after sitting out of so much this year due to my knee injection I was just happy to feel good enough to get to the start line of this one.

Thank you to @tcsnorthamerica for the #teamtcsteachers opportunity. I didn’t finish the full distance but so happy that I finished a half with my knee feeling good.

Using my run-walk intervals, I was able to enjoy my time on the course and soak up all of the energy (you know there will be more coming).

You know I needed to celebrate with a @slurpeecanada

For now - celebrating this one as I head into off season and soon starting the Tokyo training block.
