This year, I applied to be a Team Myles Mentor (Blue Nose Marathon). After my amazing experience with the Team late last year as an Ambassador, and a nudge from one of the previous mentors, I decided to share my love of Team Myles and running with others. The Ambassadors apply and can run the …

And She Did It
It’s been a few weeks since my 10km race. It’s taken me that long to process this journey, one that I needed to go on to find my running mojo again. Running with Team Myles was an amazing experience. One I will never forget. I’ve made some new running friends, and I’ve even joined a …
Fall Equals…Anxiety??
I love fall! So many great things about this season. The trees changing, the crisp air, and of course, Halloween! I am getting closer to my 10k race in November. Looking forward to running with all my peeps in Team Myles 💚 For some reason though, I am full of anxiety. Like over the top …
And I Hurt Myself
Smiling but in pain So, in true Amy fashion, I hurt myself last week on my Saturday run. Things were going great during the out and back route in Point Pleasant Park. Then we ran down a significant hill. We had a small flat area, and the started up a small incline…. That’s when I …
Team Myles Ambassador
I’m a Team Myles Ambassador for 2021! I am very excited for this opportunity, because I had fallen off of the consistency wagon when it came to running. My mental health was suffering as a result. When I saw the moment applications were open, I jumped on it, not knowing if it would be accepted. …
I’m Gonna Do It
This Tuesday, I start training for a 15km race. I am running the Scotibank Bluenose 15km route in June. It's been a staggered start in my running this year with illness and other issues. I will be glad to start a training plan. Glad, and extremely nervous. I know I can run this distance. I've …
It’s Almost Winter
Yes, I know in a lot of places there is snow and it's cold (both here right now), but the calendar says: not yet. I both love and hate this time of year. I love the coziness of winter. The sweaters and blankets, the hot chocolate (and other toasty warm beverages), and the holidays. I …
Tired – So Very Tired
At first, I thought I was fighting a cold. I was congested and just feeling yucky. But this is week three. I am no longer congested. I am tired. So very tired. I am trying to stay awake. It's 7:00 pm as I write this post, and I could have curled up in bed half …
When Overthinking Seeps Into The Run
So for those of you who have been keeping up with me on social media know, I have been plagued with cranky calves. If you aren't following me on social media: I am plagued with crank calves, lol. Ever since my knee surgery in 2015, I have been pushing with my calves to run. I …
Running and the Seesaw of Depression
See this girl here? This is a happy runner. I am not always like this when I run. Some of my solo runs are hard sloggy messes. This is where running becomes more than a physical game. Mentally a hard run is rough for any runner. For me a hard run feels like complete failure …
