Call it karma, call it good luck, call it whatever you want – we feel very fortunate right now. Yesterday morning, I ran a half marathon from Pasadena to Marble Mountain (just outside of Corner Brook) and every step hurt. But my old Sunday School teacher Rob Pollett from many moons ago worked at […]
A place can become home quicker than you realize. Over the last 3 nights, amidst running and our little adventure in the ditch, we have gotten to know the Irving gas station quite well. The restaurant is quite popular in these parts, and because the RV currently doesn’t have heat, we’ve been spending quite a […]
Our family moved around a lot growing up – the nature of my parent’s work. One of the more difficult moves was from Winnipeg to Toronto. I was going into grade 10 but had missed that first year of high school, which in Ontario starts in grade 9. That summer was a tough go […]
Yesterday, I embodied my personal 3 R’s… Rest, Recover and Refuel. A brief snapshot of today: Couldn’t find anywhere in Deer Lake to get our propane refilled. The one place that could do it had plowed all the snow over the tank so it was inaccessible. I suppose that’s indicative of how many RV’s travel […]
Well, this entry is being posted on day 30, but I thought I’d still share with you day 29…. because it was that adventurous! Valentine’s Day will take on a whole new meaning for me for wondering where the love is!! We took our generator in Monday morning to see if we could get it […]
Brrr… it’s cold. Soon, I will tuck myself away in my sleeping bag, rated -11, blankets on top. Propane is low – again. A decision will be made soon as to how cold we sleep throughout the night. Normally I sleep with my window open in the winter – I hate my head being […]
I think I’m tired… and grumpy! I woke up this morning after another mediocre sleep and could see my breath in the cold air surrounding my bed. Putting my running clothes on was not fun… it’s just one notch of comfort away from putting damp clothes on. The cold permeates my body in the RV. […]
Let me tell you a little bit about Sarah Powell… aka – SP. If you don’t feel like you’ve seen many pictures of her or know much about her, it’s because she prefers it that way! The picture above pretty much sums it up! She prefers to be in the background… anonymity suits her […]
Today, I ran my first marathon distance for the TMO Project. I don’t want to bore anyone with too much running talk, but today is significant to me for a couple of reasons. My training over the past year had been twofold – to increase my distance and to be able to run that distance […]
Today’s visit with Millcrest Academy in Grand Falls – Windsor was fun! 329 students from grades 4-6 filled the gymnasium and seemed engaged in our message of getting outside. It was interesting to hear the gasps when I told them the number of hours that most youth spend in front of screens in a […]
