I may have jinxed myself with yesterday’s post about my awesome run because last night’s run was TERRIBLE! I did something to my lower back during the day but figured I could still run. At 2.5k in I called it and said I’d run to 3k. What a bummer, eh! The good news is that I have physio today and my long weekend started an extra day early!
Though I can’t run this weekend at the Bluenose Marathon, I’m still taking in some great events. The first big one is Lilly’s 2km youth run. She rocked it last year and can’t wait to do it again with me this year. She told me we’d be taking the run-walk-run approach since my leg still hurts. Goodness, I love that girl!

You can read about her run from last year here.
The Talk Part:
As part of the #RunATCan (Running in Atlantic Canada) group on twitter, I’ve been asked to join three others on a panel to talk about Social Media and the Running Community!
It’s kinda exciting but makes me nervous at the same time. It’s at 2pm, Saturday afternoon just before the 5k race starts at 3pm. I don’t have any expectations other than to hopefully create some good conversations about the impact of social media on running communities from my perspective. I’ll try to keep my Instagram updated – so check us out there tomorrow!
I figured since I can’t run this weekend I can at least talk during the panel and *I think* give something back to the event. I’m not a social media expert or a running expert but I’m excited for this opportunity and to be included to share my thoughts.
To those running Bluenose this weekend (or other events) – Just Giv’er 🙂
If you are running Bluenose, what distance?
Anyone doing the double race? 5k Saturday and other distance Sunday?
Bluenosers – what’s your favourite part of the weekend?
Piper's Run 
Bummer about your back! But oh my word, your little one is so stinkin cute! Love it. You must be a great role model for her to run and have such wise words on the running/walking approach. I’ve not heard of the Bluenose Marathon before. Where is it at? And have fun with the social media and running chat! Sounds fun. 🙂
Thank you. She loves to run, actually both girls do and they like to stretch with me after long runs…it’s cute 😉 The Bluenose Marathon is in Halifax, Nova Scotia – check it out! It’s a super hilly course but so much energy alon the beautiful course! http://bluenosemarathon.com/
Hope it was just a fluke about your bad run!!! We’ve all had em!! Your little one is a doll! Have a great weekend!
I don’t know what was wrong with my run but it seems to be consistent – good runs and a bad run each week. Went to physio this morning and was told no running but my hammy’s getting stronger. It just can’t handle the thumping of running at the moment.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend Michelle!
Hopefully it’s all worked out soon!! Xoxoxo
How cute is your little girl!! OMG! Can’t wait to hear about her race. Have FUN!
She’s pretty cute, eh!! 😉 I’ll be sure to write a little post it 🙂 have a great weekend!
I love that your little girl loves to run too! I hope you have fun this weekend, even if you can’t run!
She 100% loves it and WANTS to do races! Hope you have a great weekend too!
Good luck with the talk; sounds like a neat experience. Awww Lilly sounds adorable!
Thanks! I’m nervous but excited!
Have a great weekend!
Hey Sam and I are heading down to the expo tomorrow afternoon to watch the five km and to take in the scene. I hope I get to see you! Good luck to Lilly 🙂
Heather! I’d love to see you and Sam…keep an eye out for me or send me a message on FB/Twitter. I’ll be at the expo around 1ish and we’ll be speaking at 2pm !
AND… Good luck with your half!
You’ll be an awesome addition to the panel. Can’t wait to hear about it and look forward to racing with you at Bluenose next year!
Thanks! (I hope so).
Would be fun to meet you next year (or at another race this year).
Ah! That is so exciting! I can’t wait to see all your pics!!
