A great honour to attend the Athletics Alberta annual awards banquet (with my date, Anika!). Supporting high performers in our sport of track and field in all age groups, able bodied and para athletes. .. It was a pleasure to hear fellow Olympian @jessmoconnell speak on stage. Always something to learn from each other’s stories, thank you Jess. .. I was reminded of the silent courage we all have within us; that doesn’t have to be especially bold or loud, but has the strength to shine through challenging stretches when each day can count as a small win. .. Congrats to all of the athletes who received recognition tonight! .. .. .. #TNT #todaynottomorrow #athletics @athleticsalberta #trackandfield #highperformance #olympic #inspiration
An opportunity to relive Track & Field Day, The Old-School Way! Surprise yourself with exciting new feats (like throwing a spear!) and discover “untapped”muscles you never knew you had (until you step out of bed the next morning 😳). For those who are super hard core (you know who you are), see this as an opportunity to measure up to the true test of “all-around athlete”. Yes, you have been challenged. By special request, the 3 events will be: hurdles (modified), long jump and javelin. Refer to poster for details! ... ... ... #trackisback #trackandfield #fitnesschallenge #allaroundathlete #multisports #yycliving #yycevents #weekendwarrior #activeliving #calgary #alberta

What a spectacle! I was able to be in London Ontario for the opening night of the North American Premiere of the Chariots of Fire at the Grand Theatre. An all-time favourite, and a strange (but true) fact… growing up, on competition mornings, my dad would wake me and my sisters up with the theme song of Chariots of Fire blaring 😳 Lol Good friend (and previous coach of mine), @vickiecroley UWO head track coach, trained the actors to look the part and I must say I cringed not once at any running techniques- most impressive 🙌 I wonderful group of talented individuals behind the scenes created a truly historical and inspirational performance!Congratulations @thegrandlondon ... ... ... # ldnont #performance #theatre #chariotsoffire @3mcanada #inspirational
How great has it been to cheer on our Olympics Athletes in Pyeongchang? Feeling Inspired?!! Here are 3 Questions; I’m reaching out to get YOUR opinion to better understand how we can bring this inspiration closer to our communities to keep it alive well past the Olympic Games! Q1: If there was an opportunity to engage with Olympic Athlete(s) in your community, would this be of interest? ...if so, Q2: What type of setting would appeal to you? * Examples included (but are not limited to): Skill learning workshops, corporate, private events, kids activities, promotional, speaking engagement, fundraisers/charity events, clinics for organized sport, one-on-one personal training, school appearances, themed workshops (nutrition, mental toughness, etc), birthday party appearances, multi-day travel fitness challenges… Q3: Would you be willing to pay a fee for these experiences, knowing it is a source of income for the athletes? I appreciate your feedback 🙌 #GoCanada!! #athletes #inspiration #community #events #workshops #support
