Big Steps

Labour Day weekend...unbelievable that the summer is drawing to an end...hardly feels like summer was here!  The triathlon season is almost over (here in Muskoka, anyways) and although I didn't get to do as many races as I would have liked, I think I may have figured out what was causing the issues in my quad muscle and I am excited to build my strength back up on the bike and even more excited that I am back to running and running pain free, Woo Hoo!
This month marks a big step for UltraPossible... We have found and are opening our new home for our athletes. A space to call ours!  So freaking scary and exciting all at once!  Looking forward to expanding our class schedule and being based out of one location...although we will continue our Yoga in the Park next June...can't leave our Yoga tree behind!!
I just want to take a quick second to thank everyone who made this big step possible...SV, you are the  reason all of this is happening...you're encouragement/kicks in the butt/patience/faith in me have gotten me to where I am!  XOXO
Brent...such a great partner and friend...you have helped make UltraPossible such a complete company and I love taking on this adventure with you... It's going to be busy, it's going to be challenging, but I know we will do this with smile on our faces and have a tonne of laughs along the way!
All the UltraPossible athletes, families and friends. It's been a fun ride and its about to get more interesting!  I thank you for your support, your strength and your commitment to us and our goals. I love the passion and friendship that IS this group!

4 years...Really?!

It's hard to believe how fast time can pass....4 years ago I began one of the most challenging athletic events of my life, Ultraman Canada (10km open water swim, 420km bike, 84.4km run).  As the athletes prepare to step into Skaha Lake tomorrow... I can't help but think back to all the fun and crazy times we had making our way around Penticton, Princeton and Summerland...We had laughs and tears and a few shots of tequila!   I want to thank the best crew UMC has ever seen; Peggy, Susan and Steve...you got me to every start line and finish line and made the event entertaining for me and other athletes out there...while I have no plans to do UMC again, it holds a very special place in my heart!
