It’s that time of year again. Does it matter that its been brutally cold and I haven’t run outside in shorts yet? Ready to don the Canada jersey and run with pride for my home and the great job @WascanaCentre does keeping the running path clear. ! #Boston2025

Participated in Abbott World Marathon AG Championships at the Sydney Marathon; then Berlin Marathon, which broke a record for number of finishers at over 54,000. So happy to be so healthy and to have met the standard to qualify and participate in these non-peer reviewed events!

In acknowledgement of #TruthAndReconciliation, my daughter and I visited @NWMuseumArchive to see #DownstreamWhereTheWatersMix and attended the event at Queens Park, thanks to #SpiritoftheChildren. Learning the truth is so essential to moving forward.
