Now that the dust has settled, I have to agree with the rest of my Team Myles members…what a great weekend…and what a great experience… In addition to participating in the run, I was able to volunteer on Friday and Saturday with the Youth Run kit pick and that was truly a wonderful experience. Two […]
My Team Myles 2014 experience has been invaluable. What started out as a contest entry with a goal to add some running to my walking of the Blue Nose 5 km led me to meeting some wonderful people and learning very valuable life lessons. I learned that many years of improper breathing and posture take […]
This will be my 4th Blue Nose 5 km, but this year it’s a whole new ball game for me. When I entered the Team Myles contest back in February, one of my goals was to add some running to my 5 km walk, therefore improving my time again this year. It’s been a struggle […]
Last Friday night, I spent time with Deborah as she coached me through close to 7 km of trails encouraging me to breathe properly, look to the stars, correct posture, proper stride and the list goes on. How little did I know all these bad habits I have accumulated would be so important and require […]
What a great weekend at the Saltscapes Expo for #TeamMyles2014 members and for me personally. After our morning practice, I stayed in town and came to the show a little early before my shift and stopped at the Taste of Nova Scotia main stage to say hello to fellow team mate, Christine White who was […]
There are many benefits of losing weight…being healthier, being more energetic, better self-esteem, reducing medications and the list goes on. For me, these have all become a part of my life for the past two years. But one side effect that is not so pleasant is having an internal thermostat that doesn’t work properly. Having […]
On Monday, I had my first opportunity to attend a yoga class thanks to Team Myles and the Blue Nose Marathon. I went to the Breathing Space Yoga Studio in Windsor, close to my home and took an introductory class in Kripalu Yoga. What a great workout and relaxing experience led by a great intructor, […]
Today (Monday) started out on a down note. I woke up not feeling well. I made it through work and after school our new running club at school met for the second time. I wasn’t there on Friday but decided to slip away from my office for a few minutes to take a picture. I […]
That quote is actually a quote from a health code I live by…and now, more than ever, it’s a real goal for me. Two weeks ago I read Paige’s blog (http://teammyles.com/2014/03/well-that-wasnt-too-bad/) and was inspired by it so much so, that last Saturday, I sought her out, along with Deborah and pretty much joined their twosome […]
Last Saturday after practice, I felt discouraged because of my inability to run long enough in to keep up the pace at practice. As I read Paige’s blog (http://teammyles.com/2014/03/slow-and-steady/), I was encouraged to try something a little different. I walk/run on my treadmill at home and even when I am on that I have difficulty […]
