Today was a long, but beautiful day. I think rich blue skies are sort of a drug for me. I can’t help but be happy when I see the sun shining. And today, as I made my way over the bridge into Quebec, my mood was in stark contrast to what it had been 48 […]
Let me first start by saying I love winter. I really do. It’s been my favourite season for a long time and I’m sure it will continue to be in years to come. It’s one of the reasons that I was okay starting this run across the country in January. But when blizzard-like conditions hit […]
I spent a lot of time yelling at the wind yesterday (while I was enjoying the views!). But today, although there was still a headwind, it wasn’t nearly as strong or cold. It was a sunny day, but I definitely find myself scratching my head as to where spring is. I get the sense there […]
Yesterday with lights flashing at the side of the TCH, I was asked to get into the back of the police car. It seemed this particular officer didn’t see eye to eye with the officer the previous day who had told me I could run the TCH until it intersected with another highway that would […]
CORNWALL — Longue Sault Public School is working on a brand new development by doing what it can to incorporate more outdoor activities. The staff at Longue Sault Public School is looking forward to having Colin Harris, an athlete who is running across Canada, explain the importance of outdoor playtime in a child’s daily routine […]
Today was a good running day. Legs felt good. Nice temperature to run in. And I got pulled over the police for the second time in a week. Apparently you’re not allowed to run or cycle on the TCH in Quebec. Well… not entirely true. The officer told me that the RV could drive behind […]
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 […]
A wee bit exhausted on this Saturday evening… Hope everyone’s enjoying the weekend!
