Did someone say spring is coming?! It’s a beautiful day here in Riviere-Du-Loup, but a cold day more reminiscent of winter than spring! We arrived here yesterday after a run that included being pulled over by the police! I was running along when the flashing lights of the car pulled up beside me. They started […]
The last couple of days have been significant for me for a few reasons. First, I crossed the border into Quebec yesterday, which felt great! And this afternoon, I ran past the 2000 kilometre mark since starting this journey almost 3 months ago. And to remind me of that start in Newfoundland, it snowed today! […]
Yesterday was a short 15k run into Edmundston where it was a beautiful spring day. I took Koona for a walk and was amazed to still see 3 feet of snow in people’s front yards! Sarah was able to find us a free room at the Comfort Inn so it was a chance to put […]

Koona is one of my best friends that helps me get outside! So I thought I’d share a few stories about her… and she looks way better on camera than I do!
Today, I thought I’d simply share a link to this video by Ken Robinson. It revolves around the education system and how it could use an update! Including more outdoor education fits nicely into his thoughts surrounding how we learn!
It was actually a bit tough to leave Fredericton this morning. I’ve met some warm and wonderful people over the past few days and have been drawn in by the city’s downtown core. Built around the Saint John River, there is a great mix of green spaces with some wonderful little shops that contribute to […]
