Hi! I’m Jamie

32, northern British Columbian who LOVES running (so much), food, hiking, not drinking, softball, yoga, books, Game of Thrones, self-development and seeing new places. I’m a cat-mom, wife, daughter, sister and friend, pharmacist and yoga instructor. I also think I’m pretty funny sometimes. And I like to write.

I’m no running veteran, just obsessed. Growing up I was a soccer and volleyball player, a tap dancer and a skier. Aside from a few years of elementary school track & field, I don’t have a running background. It was only in 2013 when I was 28 years old that I participated in a clinic with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training and completed my first half marathon, the Nike Women’s 1/2 in San Francisco.

Now it’s 2017 and I have 7 half marathons, 5 full marathons, and over a year of sober living under my belt, plus a whole lot of goals and races on my to-do list! Running is for sure my number one passion and what I’m always working on. Running often goes along well with my other favourite wellbeing topics that I weave into my writing, which are alcohol-free living and self-development with a main focus on confidence.

This blog is often going to be a place for reflection, learning and inspiration plus a training log, collection of race reviews and recaps, and anything else I feel like writing about, like growth and LIFE.

Hope you can relate in one way or another, and enjoy! xo
