If at first you don’t succeed…try…try…and try again By Sheila Dawe In 2010 I completed my first 100 km event in Lethbridge, Alberta at a race called Lost Souls Ultra.

Training is Hard, But Oh So Rewarding
Training is hard, but oh so rewarding. By Sheila Dawe Isn’t it funny how when one first gets a new training program there is a wistful dream like quality to imagining conquering all those distances?

Remaining Upright
Remaining Upright by Michelle Roberts “What’s the matter, honey?” By the time my father asked me I never even knew the answer. He said when I was a teenager he used to watch as I took on more and more – bigger challenges, harder classes and more after-school activities. He waited on the sidelines for […]

Finding the Positive
Meandering thoughts from the trail: Finding the positive. I knew before I even attempted this event that it was going to be hard. I like to try to have confidence but this race would be a challenge, as it was unlike anything I had ever attempted. I would be attempting the Squamish 50/50 on the […]

As Time Goes By

A Tale of Two Races
Meandering thoughts from the trail: A tale of two races By Sheila Dawe The two races I’ve run this spring couldn’t have been more different.

The Hills Are Alive
Meandering thoughts from the trail: The Hills Are Alive By Sheila Dawe I learned a long time ago when I was the president of a walking club and hosting many different walks that one never said, “This is the last hill”.
