FUN FACT: I’M A HUGE WILL FERRELL FAN.

I’m also not a fast runner. In fact six years ago I couldn’t run to the end of the laneway, so the fact that I even say I run is still foreign to me. I love it running. It helped me lose that last bit of baby weight and it’s the best for my mental health. 

When I feel stressed or overwhelmed, a quick 30 minute run clears my head. Running also helps me think. Many of my creative ideas happen when I run. I actually started a weekly Monday Motivation Rant on my Facebook page (which you can watch here).

This week I changed up the format a wee bit and took part in an annual race held in my hometown of Douro, Ontario.

The annual Douro Doings happens every Labour Day. One of the events is a 10km race. It’s a measly $20 to register and the proceeds are a fundraiser for the church. I don’t normally run 10km, in fact I have only ever done it twice. I didn’t train, but on a last minute whim I decided to do it this year. I wasn’t sure if I would finish, so I just took my time and ran slow and steady. I also managed to record it 😉 Here’s my Douro Doings 10km VLOG (watch time 5:08). As with all my MF’s Post Run Rants, there is a message. I hope you enjoy!

Another take home message: I’m much more of a 5km girl;)

Doing This Will Make Life Easier

Running is hard. Really hard and it is not for everyone. BUT You don’t have to be a runner, to understand why it is important to make your body move and sweat as often as possible.  Watch this weeks Monday Motivation video about why one tiny hill is the best metaphor on how to manage
