I am down to the final hours. I have mixed emotions. I am beyond excited to do this. I have trained and prepared for months and, though I was new to running in January, I feel comfortable in my sneakers these days. I did a practice run of the race route last week and it » Read More

I’ve now been training for 3 months. I’ve made 5 posts. The Blue Nose Marathon is in 23 days. I really need to change this. As I’ve come to learn from training with Devin, never come to a run with any expectations. As always, last night was no different. Last week we were running for » Read More

I thought long and hard about skipping last night’s run. After the summer weather we had last week, how could I possibly prepare myself for a run after a day filled with snow? That’s not to say I was going to skip running last night entirely – my plan was to use the treadmill at » Read More

I never thought this would be easy. I also never though that the area in which I would not succeed was the one that involves sitting and writing. Surprisingly enough, I’ve been really looking forward to the running part. It’s writing about it where I have been failing miserably (as you can see from my lack » Read More

I thought I had prepared myself for last night. All week, I’ve been preparing myself to revist Hill night with Team Myles. I can do this again, I told myself. No big deal. Then Tuesday night arrived – and I discovered we would not be simply jogging up Citadel Hill. No, we would be sprinting. » Read More

I could get used to this. Saturday morning, we had our first run in Point Pleasant Park – bright and early at 9am. What I failed to think about were the hills. Did you know that the Commons is much flatter than Point Pleasant? The park was bustling with dogs and their owners as we » Read More

It’s currently -9 and I just got home from my first run with Team Myles. I’d be lying if I said “What was I thinking?” didn’t cross my mind tonight. Standing in the cold in the Commons, I waited for the rest of our team to arrive. Since I’d come down with a nasty case » Read More
I am a crafter, foodie, and bibliophile. A PEI native, I now live in HRM with my husband and our two cats. I first became interested in Team Myles through my employer. Participating in the Blue Nose Marathon has always been something I hoped to achieve “someday” but wasn’t quite sure how or where to begin my training. Team Myles is a wonderful foundation on which to build my running skills. I am beyond thrilled to begin my training and to get the support and motivation I’ll need to reach the finish line. This will be my first time running! Not only am I excited to achieve my goal, I am also looking forward to encouraging others to strive for their fitness goals: if I can do it, anyone can! Sarah.
