Thank You, Saucony

I have yet to post a picture of my new, sweet, green Kinvaras (I have the flashy pink pair). BUT, I just had to skip ahead and show you the shoes I received today. What an honour! How cool. Thank you, Saucony! Can't wait for an amazing 2011 year!

Theresa

Some of you may remember that I ran the National Marathon Championships in Ottawa for my friend, Theresa. About 1:25 into this interview I talk about it.
Sadly, her life on earth ended Oct 21, 2010. We will miss her dearly but know she's been welcomed into Heaven!

Maternity Gear

Unfortunately Saucony doesn't have a maternity line of running apparel (yet!). Thanks to the great gals at RunningSkirts.com, I now have some great gear to support my growing belly. Thanks, Cindy!

The Joys of an Eload Delivery!

Whenever we pull into the driveway and see boxes on the front porch, the boys get quite excited. If it's an Eload or Saucony shipment, I let them open the boxes to see what's inside. It's very entertaining to watch them. This time, they made themselves, "Eload Workers" in the video! Too cute!
Here they are in 2009.

Saucony Kinvara - A Beauty!

Marathon Moms Having Baby Boys

You maybe thought I was writing to say that we are having another boy. Sorry, I did have my ultrasound last week at 19 weeks but refrained from asking the question!

But...

Marathon Moms, Paula Radcliffe and Kara Goucher have baby boys. Click here to read!

And click here to read:

1. If you thought marathons were tough, just wait.

2. If you thought marathons were rewarding… just wait.

I couldn't agree more!

Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon

Yesterday I had the opportunity to be at the Eload and Saucony booths at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
I was surprised to see my full-sized picture with Stephen Drew on display for Saucony. In May we won the National Marathon Championship, well-representing Saucony. AND, on the Eload pamphlet, there is a picture of myself and Simon Whitfield. Two great companies to represent, that is for sure.
It was great to get to know Sharon and Douglas while answering questions and giving samples to runners at the expo. I met Reid Coolsaet's mom, whom I'm sure is proud of her son today - he was Canada's first finisher AND qualified for London 2012! Eric Gillis was not far behind him, and Katherine Moore was Canada's first female. My friend Matt also had a great race - finishing with a 6 minute PR. Way to go, folks!
I'll tell you, being there really made me realize (again) how much I love running. Boy will I be excited to get back at it after this baby arrives!
