I’ve been waiting a long time to write this post. Let me begin with that. As you read this, Sean and I will be somewhere between Montreal and Paris. Yes folks, we have finally left for France...
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I don’t know about where you are, but we are experiencing some perfect weather in Ottawa right now. Yesterday, I made the mista...
First off, thank you everyone who left comments and emailed re: our move to Paris. Your excitement for us was so great to read. Notoriously, the process of moving to France hasn’t happened ove...
What a week! My lack of blogging is code for me having one of the busiest weeks I’ve ever had. Yes, ever. In case you were wondering what I was cryptically hinting at in my previous post, ch...
We moved into our place in December 2010.. We’ve loved spending time with others here… Holiday parties were had… We have the best rooftop in the city… …that’s a gr...
I was planning on doing other things last night. But, instead I turned on the TV and popped in a DVD that my Aunt Linda brought me this past weekend. After numerous people telling me that I must wa...
This past weekend was phenomenal. My entire family was up (including my Aunt!) and we were non-stop busy. Beyond the Canada Army Run Half-Marathon that my Mom, Dad & myself ran yesterday mornin...
Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been MIA these past few days. I hate to say it, but I think that’s going to be the norm going forward. I have loved blogging every day, but if I&#...
Bonjour mes amis! I hope everyone had a stellar weekend. Did you get a chance to check yesterday’s guest post out? If you haven’t you totally should – it’s my Mom! SheR...
Hi everyone, I am so thrilled to be hosting my second Guest Post for today! {Check out my first Guest Post (my Sister) here} When I asked my Mom earlier this week if she would write a post, I was so...
Happy weekend friends, I hope it’s off to a good start. Yesterday I got home from work and found this… Sean’s sister works for CyberDERM and has been telling me about these products...
I took last night off of running, so the evening was dedicated to taking care of a very important errand. Sean got his Chartered Accountant (CA) designation a little while ago, and we have yet to ge...
Thursday? Already? Sheesh, this week is flying by. A combination of a short work week, a new training plan and my 30 day quest to go vegetarian have given me lots of new things to occupy my time w...
The thing about the running world is that we speak our own language. From tempo runs, to fartleks, to intervals, to bunnies — these are all common words in the vocabulary of a somewhat-serious...
On Labour Day in Canada, it’s tradition that certain teams in the Canadian Football League play one another, with the games being called the Labour Day Classic. Close to home, I grew up seeing...
Update. I’ve since learned that I’m basically a vegetarian, without even thinking about it. Takes the thrill out of it, eh. The two main things I normally eat, that don’t fall un...
Yesterday, I spent the morning lounging on the couch watching TV and reading Run Less, Run Faster. It was a perfect start to the day. I’m really enjoying the book and it’s making me exc...
I’m not sure if I’m blogging about vegetariasm because I wanted something different to write about, or because I’m actually serious about going veg. Hey, I’m honest at least....
September is here. Where on earth did summer go? Don’t mistake me though, I’m not complaining, fall is my favourite season. I used the 1st of the month to kick off my Run Less, Run Fast...
With the Quebec City Half Marathon behind me, I wanted blog today about my training plan for the upcoming Canada Army Run Half Marathon. If you’ve been reading Runner-n-Spice for a bit now, you...
I ran the Quebec City Half Marathon on Sunday. To sum the race up I would say: beautiful course, but one heck of a windy day for a race. As I mentioned in this post, the Marathon had been cancelled...
Finally, race day is here (!!) As most of you know, I’m running the Quebec City Half Marathon this morning. After touring around Quebec City all day yesterday, I’ve become even more exc...
Reporting live from our hotel room…. Yesterday was spent driving from Ottawa to Quebec City. If you are just joining Runner-n-Spice, I’m in Quebec City to run the Quebec City Half Marath...
Happy TGIF my friends. Today my parents, my sister and I are heading to Quebec City (or Ville de Québec en français) for the Quebec City Half Marathon. After having recovered from a sick-bug earli...
Thank you for all the sweet messages yesterday re: my sick day on Monday. Thankfully, I’m feeling a lot better. Besides work, I took it easy yesterday and didn’t over exert myself at al...
{Note: This post has some not-so-fun moments, just wanted to warn you.} I woke up in the middle of Monday night feeling incredibly ill. I didn’t know what it was, but knew that it wasn’...
A few days ago, I mentioned that I wanted to improve my photography skills. I bought a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera a little while ago, and have used Auto mode (the easiest mode) ever si...
The problem with leaving your long run until Sunday is that it leaves you with little time to procrastinate and to push the run off until the next day (who has time for a lonnng run on Monday?) Satu...
Yesterday I said goodbye to my parents, pups and cat, and flew back to Ottawa. It’s always tough saying goodbye to a face like this! YYZ to YOW As for the evening, Sean and I went down to the d...
Yesterday, the Hamilton Spectator (the newspaper around this neck of the woods) horoscope section predicted us scorpios a four star day. It felt more like a five star day. We started the day by driv...
