This run falls on November 15th and you can either sign up for the 5km, 10km or 21km (half marathon) if you’re feeling really confident. Personally, I wanted to attempt the 21k although I can’t think of anyone who would join me so I’m going to register for the 10k. Email me at mika@mikadoesmakeup.com if you [...]
This is the workout for the busiest of people!! I am a workaholic with 2 different jobs who is always on the go go go… so this is a perfect program for me! I’m sure it will be good for you too. Some people copy this program onto their lap tops so they can view the exercises [...]
On our recent weekend trip out to Seattle, we stayed not too far away in Bellevue at my brother’s apartment… (A really pretty, wealthy & new city.) This is where we spent most of the day outdoors enjoying the sights and sunshine. We rollerbladed around Lake Union, and took a tour of Seattle aboard the “Ride The [...]

This past weekend made me realize how strong the sun really is. Everyone who joined us on the Private Island Cottage ended up getting a burn of some kind. It was cloudy on the first day that we went kayaking, fooling us into believing that we weren’t getting any sun. We spent most of the [...]
I’ve been thinking about doing the half marathon since December ’08, but just recently compromised with the bf to sign up for the 8K… On race day we slept in 20 minutes after the alarm and woke up extra groggy, but luckily the sun was shining and gave us hope for a good run. We stopped [...]
My alarm woke us up earlier than usual on this grey Sunday morning. We made sure to eat our Wheetabix cereal with raspberries to prepare us for what was coming. The 9am start time for the 25th Annual Vancouver Sun Run made my boyfriend and I a little uneasy, but we left my apartment just in time to [...]

If you’re planning on walking or running the Vancouver Sun Run this Sunday April 19 (at 9am), then you might be a little cold during the warm up. Not to worry, you can just wear extra layers of clothing that you don’t need or want anymore and then strip down!! Simply toss your unwanted items on the pavement (ie. [...]
Another beautiful Spring day in Vancouver… Ran about 8km’s around the downtown core tonight trying to discover parts of the city that I can run through safely…One thing that scares me is the whole murder situation with Wendy Ladner-Beaudry and the fact that they haven’t found her killer. There is also a bigger question: Why [...]

We ended up getting down and dirty (literally!! on the gravel and everything!!) at a Kitsilano Park at 5:30pm and it was still hot and [...]
