Sunday was my favourite 10K race of the year – the Glencoe Icebreaker 10K. The course is challenging and the post-race brunch is amazing. This year we lucked out with clear pathways and beautiful sunny skies. We’ve had such lovely spring weather lately that there was no ice to be seen! I arrived at the […]
2015 Glencoe Icebreaker 10K Race Report
This past weekend I ran my first race since the Goofy Challenge in January, the Glencoe Icebreaker 10K. Pre-Race Rambles Thanks to patellar tendonitis and not running through all of February I wasn’t sure if I’d even still be able to run this race a few weeks ago. I came back slow and smart from […]
2014 Glencoe Icebreaker 10K Race Report
This morning I raced the Glencoe Icebreaker 10K! I love this race for its unique route (not too many races in Calgary go along the Elbow River) and delicious post race brunch.

I woke up on Sunday morning and checked the […]
The Night Before the Glencoe Icebreaker 10K

My last race, the St. Paddy’s Day 5K, was through a ridiculous snowstorm and it was quite the slog out there. Will it be the same at the Glencoe Icebreaker tomorrow? Not if I have anything […]
2010 Glencoe Icebreaker 10K

2009 Glencoe Icebreaker 10K Race Report
I debated whether I should write this up this evening since I am absolutely pooped…but here goes regardless! Pre-Race Rambles April is here, and this is my most prolific racing month of the year. Three races in four weeks. Not nearly as good as my five races in four weeks from last year, but oh […]
