It’s my birthday today and I’m turning a whopping 28-years old. There’s something weird about the idea of being 28 that only really started to dawn on me this morning. Not that I’ve given much thought to the idea of myself turning 28, but the idea of being 28 in general has always seemed like read more

Operation Motherland: Part 2 – Of Desolate Highways and Many a Moose
May 16, 2013 – 11:05 am
To think, it was just over week ago now that my brother Tyler and I were waking up in a motel in Wawa, Ontario with a solid 13 hour day of driving behind us and one more 12 hour push before we made it home. It was also just over a week ago now that read more
Operation Motherland: Part 1 – Preparing for the Vehicular Pilgrimage
April 30, 2013 – 12:10 pm
Without using Google to help you, guess how far it is from Ottawa to Winnipeg. Guess. I’ll give you a second. Assuming you choose a route that stays in Canada, you’re looking at 2,174 km (1,351 miles for my American friends. That’s just to get to the next province over. Sheesh). That’s the distance I’m read more
Why I won’t be running the Walt Disney World Wine & Dine half marathon this year (even though I really, REALLY want to)
March 12, 2013 – 7:30 am
Sigh. Today is a sad day. Granted, it’s only sad for the most superficial of reasons, but still… Today is the day that registration for the Walt Disney World Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend opens up. When I came home from running the Tinkerbell Half Marathon in January, I had every intention of signing read more
Of PodCamp and iPads
February 21, 2013 – 7:09 pm
I’m going to go ahead and say that one of the main reasons that I haven’t use my iPad as often as I’d like is because I HATE the virtual keyboard. It’s fine for tweeting or writing a quick e-mail but beyond that it’s a huge pain in the posterior. I mean, have you ever read more
Reviewing my Fitness Goals and the #Distance13 After Party
February 6, 2013 – 1:27 pm
Throughout the month of January I took part in an interesting online fitness challenge called Go the Distance 2013. Blog- and Facebook-based, the challenge was organized by Morgan (Life After Bagels), Krysten (Misadventures of a Darwinian Fail), Jess (Truly Into Fitness), and Robyn (Robyn Baldwin.com)– an amazing bunch of health and fitness bloggers and all read more
HURRY HARD: Finding fun in unexpected places
February 5, 2013 – 7:30 am
When I was in the fifth grade I lived in a tiny prairie village an hour outside of Medicine Hat, Alberta. It had a population of maybe 100 and took about 10 minutes to walk from one end to the other. Our school was home to 75 students, most of which obviously came from elsewhere read more
Disneyland Adventure Part 2: My review of The Happiest Place on Earth!
January 28, 2013 – 7:30 am
Up until I actually got there, very few of my thoughts about going to Disneyland had anything to do with the actual Happiest Place on Earth. My primary focus up until the day Llisa and I left for California was the race (the day we left my focus shifted to not missing any flights or read more
Disneyland Adventure Part 1: The TinkerBell Half Marathon!
January 23, 2013 – 8:07 pm
My friends, it’s official: I, Sara Hamil, am a half marathoner. I’m still having a hard time processing what happened last weekend. I spent so much time leading up to it preparing and obsessing that it’s hard to believe it’s already over. In the days since I’ve tried my best to relive the morning of read more
OMG CALIFORNIA
January 18, 2013 – 7:30 am
At this point, Llisa and I have (hopefully) been up since some ungodly hour. We will have already made our way through a frigid Toronto morning to Pearson International Airport and, if all has gone according to plan, we’ll be boarding our flight to Chicago at the time that this post goes live. We’ll have read more
