Happy 141th Birthday Canada


Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends. How are you/did you spend your day on this special day?


I started out by going for a little run.......well it wasn't that little it was a 10km race put on to support our Canadian athletes before they head off to Beijing for the Olympics this summer. Some of the athletes competing this year came out for the run as well and even led us into some warm ups before we sang the anthem.

Most Canada Days in the past have been cold and somewhat wet, this year however it was nice and cool and full of sun, then as the race started the humidity decided to come visit us yet again. I had a hard run and got a stitch early on (within the first 2km), but somehow I was not only able to finish but also get another PB. Everyone in the race was so fun to run with encouraging people and helping them through. I have to say this is one of my favourite runs.


Enjoy your Canada Day!
