Entered into the unknown this weekend - mixing altitude, endurance running, and POTS. While my POTS body is not new to running (running actually got me to where I am, but that’s another post); running long distance at altitude with POTS is not something I’ve yet tested. I turned off the heart rate display on my watch, and ran by feel. The views were incredible and I felt fortunate to get to even be there. Breathing felt hard. The low temps and on & off rain made this challenge extra. When I crossed the finish line with the same time I had in Edmonton in August - I was pretty thrilled. Our bodies are amazing and resilient and made to move. Feeling tired, sore, and oh so grateful 💕

Stairs in the Edmonton River Valley on a beautiful morning. Thought this would be another type 2 fun experience (which I love by the way) but actually was pretty fun during too! Leaves are slowly starting to change colors, this spot is just going to get prettier and prettier over the next few weeks!

Adding to the list of “things I never thought my POTS body would allow me to do” 🙌Yesterday I climbed Grotto Mountain with my husband. I needed extra breaks due to the elevation, high heart rate, air hunger, and anxiety. My balance and stability issues definitely made their presence known. Hiking poles and patience were critical. I had a few falls. But the awe and gratitude I had for my body (and for my partner) throughout the climb were akin to the stunning views from the top. Movement as medicine is a guiding principle in my life, and experiences like this demonstrate how true it is. I have strong legs to carry me, a good aerobic base, and supportive people in my corner.
If you need someone in your corner while you work to improve your health - let’s connect. We can do hard things 💪

Trained for this and ran it with two of my favorite humans. Nothing better than chasing dreams surrounded by others doing the same. (And of course the support from those in your corner too🙌)
The energy at Servus Edmonton Marathon will never get old. What’s your dream - are you chasing it?!

April 2020, a new cardiologist had seen some small but promising research on POTS. “Get as fit as you can, and maybe you’ll see a remission.” I wasn’t working. I wasn’t driving. I was using a cane to get around more often than not.. He was not wrong. My biennial neurologist appt was a contrasting reminder of where I came from, and the new life I’m living. It wasn’t easy. It still isn’t easy. But what in this life ever is? We are fearfully & wonderfully made and I am in awe of what our bodies can do. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and had to share. If you’re feeling stuck and needing someone in your corner, message me. You are worth fighting for 💙

Fun 10k to kick the season off 🏃🏻‍♀️ Love the energy that races bring! Thanks for another great event! Today was a good reminder that I need to believe in myself & my training (imposter syndrome is real). Farther or faster for next one? Heck Yes 🙌

Did you know? A long-term study from Sweden revealed an impressive link between fitness and women’s brain health.

Women who maintained high fitness levels in midlife were almost 90% less likely to develop dementia later in life. Only 5% of the most active participants were diagnosed, compared with up to 32% of women who were less active.

Even when dementia occurred, it appeared roughly 10 years later in the fit group, highlighting the powerful protective effect of long-term cardiovascular health.

This study reinforces an important point: staying active during midlife is not only beneficial for your body, but it’s also one of the best ways to safeguard your brain for the future.

Beautiful day to get outside and move your body. Pausing & reflecting as part of my 2026 habits. What are you thankful for today? Who’s in your corner that encourages you to keep dreaming and trying new things?

He is grit, strength, and heart. He is an overcomer and a never-quitter. He is living in the moment and for each moment. He’s my inspiration, hero, and my dad. He ran the race he wanted to, and what a privilege to get to run alongside him. I will cherish yesterday for all of my days. 💙

🌿🍂September Reset: Align with the Season
As the seasons begin to shift, nature reminds us that change doesn’t have to be sudden or harsh. It can be gentle, intentional, and rooted in growth.
September is a quiet invitation to come back to yourself 💕
To pause. Reflect. Reset.
If summer felt scattered or overwhelming, or just plain busy - that’s okay. This is your moment to realign—with your body, your mind, and your goals.
🌾 Move with purpose
🌾 Nourish yourself well
🌾 Build strength slowly
🌾 Choose consistency over intensity
This isn’t about extremes. It’s about steady progress, guided by support, and inspired by the natural rhythm of the season.
If you’re ready to create positive change for ✨you✨ - I’m here to walk with you.
