Trail dog says he is officially tired of snowy runs. He wonders if it will ever be spring. Will he ever run dry trails again? #springrunning #neverendingwinter #trailrunning #yeg #trailrunner
Well done!! 🎉
I always wonder about the giant signs that decorate various intl talks and meetings? They get created seemingly overnight for “Islamabad Talks” or “Board of Peace”. There must be elves who work through the night with little or no notice of what must be put into giant lettering for the next day.
I always swore I'd never do looped races but this one is really fun and very chill. You can always do the 5k (2 loops), 10k (4 loops), or 3hr version too! Maybe I'll see you next year :-)
I got in 13 loops yesterday at #hillofarace (How many loops can one do on the ski hill in 6hrs?) Same as last year. Hoping for 14 but, oh well. Great challenge and beautiful day with #yeg ‘s awesome #trailrunning community ♥️. #trailrunner #elevationtraining
Well-written, illuminating must-read on Alberta separatists by @marcellodicintio.bsky.social Re: Representation, I appreciate the point, "This isn’t injustice. It’s math."
"The separatists envision independence not for the Alberta that currently exists, but for an Alberta of their imagination."
Thank you for this. I recently summarized my book to a friend. The summary sounded so clean and obvious, but it has taken me 6years to get to this place. 6years of thinking, writing, rearranging, workshopping, thinking again, blowing it up and re-writing. Still thinking about it. Maybe forever.

Speed work between snowflakes this morning. Spring, where are you? #trailrunning #yeg #trailrunner

I love this! What a cool idea!
Highly recommend! It was perfect opportunity to focus and finish my manuscript 😊
Still so-much-snow! Sun came out once we had finished 🤷♀️. Twice to the summit today for a sweet 1500m of gain. #trailrunning #trailrunner #elevationtraining #alberta #canadianrockies
Incredible scenery!

During what feels like the end of times, mountain trails are essential for sanity. #trailrunning #trailrunner #running #canadianrockies #alberta #mountains
What a great story! Thanks for sharing
Please, oh please, let this be the last really cold long run of the year. It is a -22 degree start today. However, I am grateful for the high-angle sun rays that beckon forth what sleeps beneath the ice and snow. #winterrunning #yegrunning #yeg #trailrunning #trailrunner #running

This is my home for the next 10 days. The #CaetaniCentre in #vernon will be (if all goes well) where I finalize my manuscript and book proposal. #writing #writinglife #writingresidency
Feeling like one doesn't mean you are one 🤗
I needed this post 🙏
Runners departing at the start line for a winter half marathon. Running Room’s iconic red blowup gate is in the background.
Today’s #yeg #hypohalf started in -17 with a wind - way warmer than previously forecast. I was just shy of sub 2hrs. For an average, middle age runner in cleats on ice, I felt strong and happy. So… winning? But geez, road running is SO different from the trails! #winterrunning #running #Canada
Albertan here. There are a small number of separatists who spout this delusional nonsense. But they have zero concept of the constitutional and treaty hoops they'd need to jump through. Bessent should stick to rumours in his own country.
such a lovely thing to think about
He’s cold because of all the sweat generated from 4 pairs of pants.
Proud to be Canadian today. Bravo @mark-carney.bsky.social . This is the message we all need. "We actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be." Worth watching.

Today was a glorious 20k long run in the river valley. I tried to soak it in considering next weekend we’ll be back to the -30’s again. The temp drop is just in time for #yeg #hypohalf. Looks like I’ll be racing in ski goggles next weekend. Sigh. #running #trailrunning #winterrunning
I actually LOVE long runs. Most of the time they are with friends, dogs, and trails. I think the best trick is to approach it with the mindset of “this is awesome” or “look what my body can do.” If you think it sucks, it will. Mindset is EVERYTHING. Success comes from loving what you do ♥️
