This past week, I committed to running a total of 1200 miles in 2016, working together with my partner Brooke, so between the two of us we will put in 2016 miles for the year. As we discussed our team name, we tried to think about what this challenge meant to each of us, and…
It’s not how you run. It’s how you run your life. These words, spoken at the memorial for Meg Menzies the day before the 2015 Richmond Marathon/Half Marathon by Meg’s father, resonated with me and many others as we stood together honouring a woman most of us never met. You see, while so much of…
This is pretty cool. I started this blog as a way to write about my experiences in training for a marathon – kind of like a journal. I hope that for those who have read any/all of my posts, you have found something informative, interesting and perhaps inspirational in my experiences. Thank you for sharing…
Yesterday, I received an email saying that I had won a free entry into the Dusseldorf Marathon in Germany in April. And based on my race calendar, it would work perfectly for me to do this marathon. When I posted on Facebook page about this free entry, someone replied ‘Robyn Runs The World is overdue…
I did not always enjoy running. In fact, when I was in school, I absolutely DREADED the one-mile fitness run. I’ve never been an unfit person thanks to softball, dance and gymnastics, but running has never been ‘my thing.’ Until now. In the last two years since I have been running on a regular…
Sorry it has taken so long to get this together…it has been almost two weeks since I ran the Williams Route 66 Marathon (and Centre of the Universe 0.3 mi detour!), and it is well past time to get thoughts down. But with being on the road and enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday with family, well,…
When I was much younger, the song ‘All God’s Critters Have a Place in the Choir’ was one that our Sunday School group would sing during morning worship. It was a fun song, perfect for kids to understand that there was a place for all of us no matter our talents, skills and interests. God…
I had an incredible weekend in Richmond, most of which had nothing to do with my personal race. There are so many things I want to blog about from the weekend, so I figured that I should break it into a few blogs. The easiest to write is a race recap, so I’ll begin with…
With less than two weeks until I run my second marathon, I find myself only starting to think about the race itself. This puzzled me, as my first marathon, only three weeks ago, consumed my every waking thought and action. So on my 6-mi run today, I mulled over the differences between the lead up…
It has been a few days since I posted last, and while I may not have been writing, it doesn’t mean that I haven’t been running.I did rest my legs and body for a few days after the marathon, but jumped back in last Thursday with a nice and easy 4-miler, followed by 10 miles…
