Step Into Action

Again I get new people to run with!We woke up early in the hotel and I used the shower for the last time. I got up at 5:15am but Lauren got up at 4:45 and walked to Tim Horton’s to pick up some breakfast for all of us. She’s awesome!I taped my fe…

We spent Wednesday and Thursday in Montreal. Both mornings we had a huge buffet at the Delta Hotel. Well Lauren and I did. Mike missed out on the first morning as he took the RV in to get serviced while Lauren and I stuffed our faces.Our RV needed to g…

My sister arrives today!Once again, Paul was up before anyone and had breakfast sausages, eggs and bagels made before we woke up. Before leaving Mike and I tried to dump our septic tank, but the connection wasn’t completely flush with the tube and …

Happy Birthday Sarah!So last night I woke up at 1:30am and Paul was asleep. Shocking. Maybe he’s not really a robot. Of course he was up before us and had made breakfast sandwiches!I again have a lot of new blisters on my feet and I’m not sure wh…

New friends to run with!We had no food for breakfast when we woke up so we had to drive to the local grocery store to pick up some food.  Today is June 15th, the chocolate milk we bought expired on June 4th. We wouldn’t discover this until later…
