Well, who would have guessed that after getting off the sofa to learn to run with #TeamMyles in 2010, I’d be into my fourth year of involvement with the Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon. #TeamMyles2013 is a great team this year; a good mix of experience and newbies, fit and ready-to-be-fit, and a few recovering from […]

After a great month of social events at classroom sessions we finally had to strap on our running shoes and start moving. Saturday morning was our first training run. Relocated to the Halifax Common rather than Point Pleasant Park on account of icy conditions. I was up much earlier than I needed to be, […]
Our First Run – Saturday February 16th
It was a gorgeous, sunny, mild morning in #Halifax …….felt like Spring and that in itself put a spring into my step………..right up to the point when I slipped on a sneaky large, clear, ice patch disguised as pavement……..a gentle reminder that it’s February not April. New sneakers feel great! Thank you #NewBalance Lots of […]
Our #NewBalance sneakers – their first run
Breakfast of Blue Nosers
With all this talk about eating healthy as part of our training, I am making a concentrated effort to make wiser nutritional choices.

Considering Easter candy is […]
Ready, Set, Go Team Myles!
A perfect day for our first run on the Common with #TeamMyles. Thank you everyone for making it so much fun! Can’t wait to see you all again on Tuesday.

Team Myles Launch Dinner
It was such a pleasure to work with Chef Les Stevens of the Delta Halifax Hotel in creating the menu for the Team Myles Kick-off dinner. Our challenge was to come up with a healthy meal that was easy, nutritious and delicious with vegetarian options. And one that Chef Les could demonstrate to Team Myles […]
Just Go With It….Launch Night
This is me on event launch night in January: nervous, anxious, excited, honored thrilled – not a clue what I agreed to do. But, I trusted my colleague (and Team Myles mentor Catherine Bagnell-Styles) who had invited me and I was grateful for the opportunity. So, deep breath in, I walked into the room at Delta Halifax to meet my future teammates and was wowed by […]
Am I ready for this…
Wow….Running starts on Saturday. Am I ready for this? I have so many mixed emotions excited, nervous, scared and even enthusiastic. I’ve always wanted to run, there couldn’t be a better way to get started than with a team of awesome peeps and pretty new balance shoes. Everyone I’ve met has been so supportive and I know […]
