Hey Reader,
I hope you are enjoying some nicer weather wherever you are!
I have officially kicked off my training for a bucket-list cycling trip to France this September. I'll be cycling through Provence for 5 days with a couple of close friends, including a ride up the legendary Mt. Ventoux!
I am also very excited about the None to Run group run + run/walk on Sunday, June 22nd. If you're in the Toronto area, I'd love to see you there!
Here are the event details:
📅 Date: Sunday, June 22, 2025
⌚ Time: 10:00 AM
📍 Location: High Park - see the map below! We'll meet just inside the Bloor St / High Park Ave entrance to the park.
🏃♂️ Help Us Make Running History (Plus Get Free Gear!)
We're partnering with Edge Hill University on groundbreaking research to study the effectiveness of None to Run for beginner runners – and we need your help!

The time commitment is minimal (less than 2 hours total over 6+ months), but you'll get a free None to Run T-shirt just for participating and a chance to win running shoes if you complete it. 🌟

Short on time and still ridiculously humid so decided to do run walk intervals. It was hard but I’m almost back to pre-February 13 when three months of challenges began and figure pushing this one a little bit will help in the long run. Happy running!

5K - week 1, intervals ✅ Created today’s workout in Garmin. I added an extra loop of today’s intervals to the workout so if I felt for it, I could keep going, without having to look at my watch all the time. Did a nice loop in the neighborhood and it took the planned 5 intervals + 2 extra 😀 (1 minute fast but controlled run, 2 minute walk). ...
