• Why I Run (and Why You Should Give Us Some Money)!

  Results of Last Year’s Half Marathon  Last year, I ran my first half marathon.  Relatively speaking, I was pretty slow, but I finished and didn’t walk!  My goal for last year was to run a sub 2-hr half marathon, but I clocked in at 2:22 in the Scotiabank Toronto Marathon.  It was a challenging year…

• Wait!!: A Chronicle of Amelia's Birth

  Good morning!  It is 10:15 am on January 24, 2018, exactly 22 hours after Amelia was born.  Both Renee and Amelia are sleeping right now (this is usually when I write these posts).  We are actually all well rested.  If there was one word that would describe this delivery, “smooth” would be the word!  We…

• Help Me Run a Half Marathon (and Shave My Head Again)!

  Hi Everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this blog.  GDI (Ainsworth’s parent company) decided to buy another company and merge us together.  It’s been a grueling few months going through the transition and still feeling the effects.  Hence, I’ve been fairly quiet. Didn’t Know I Loved Running Too!? As some of you…
