On the Road Again

What a busy girl I’m about to be, so I’ll have to beg your pardon if I don’t update in a timely manner. But I aim to. ;-)

 Today was the last day of practice in town, coach, my training partner and I are leaving Friday morning for Prefontaine.

 I had a mentally tough workout to see me off, it was twice over 12 hurdles.



Doesn’t sound like much but considering a race is only 10, and in most practices 9 is the most I do, today was not your average day at the office. I did well and feel good going into Sunday’s race.

 What's Coming Up...

 Friday June 5 @ 1:30pm Eastern I am traveling but will be on the radio during one of my layovers. Toronto’s The Fan 590 to talk about The Festival of Excellence meet on June 11.

***Listen Live***

 Sunday June 7 @ 1:30pm I’m again on the radio, this time CBC Radio One (local time all across Canada).  Sadly I will be on Inside Track for the last time, since CBC has decided to no longer have the show. I’ll give my take on this in a soon to come post. 

The show is wonderfully hosted by Robin Brown and is a candid look at an athletes’ existence beyond the field of play.



As many times as I have been on I have never found myself get this emotional during parts of an interview. But it’s me and I’m real.

***Listen Live***

Sunday June 7 @2pm Eastern Prefontaine is broadcast live on NBC, I race at approx. 2:30pm. Go ahead and watch!

Monday June 8 I arrive Toronto at 6:45am on a red eye and have the pleasure of going to Donview Middle School that same afternoon for an assembly. There will be 400+ students in grades 6 to 8 and I get to speak on one of my favorite topics: Perseverance!



Along with my ambassadorship for Right to Play and all the good that they do for underprivileged children a world away.

Tuesday & Wednesday June 9, 10 The rest of the week at home will be devoted to promoting the Festival of Excellence Meet and hanging with my family.

 Thursday June 11 Racing well in my home town in front of my friends and family. Festival of Excellence tickets can be bought at Ticketbreak, and it will be televised live on TSN.

So host a track party and watch the fun!

Be back soon!

Cheers,
