Run what you’re given. Sure, let’s circumnavigate the Alberta town… #running #ruralalberta #canadianrunning #prairielife

I made these last night, inspired by President Zelenskyy’s courage in the face of a bully. They’ll be for sale at the Night of Artists Art Walk (March 14-16) in #yeg, and all proceeds will go to Ukrainian relief efforts. It’s not much, but it’s something. #artheals #Ukraine

Join in for Write Night this Thursday! We are a very welcoming group of writers trying to reach finish lines (whatever that means for you!) #yegwriter #yeg #artscommunity #writing #roamcafe

Edmonton runners are a different breed. Ran the Hypo Half Marathon today with about 200 other brave souls. It was -27 Celsius with a headwind making it -30 or colder 🥶. Ski goggles ftw. Thanks to volunteers who came out in such weather! #winterrunning #yeg #yegrunner #canadianrunning
