☮️ Care to join me?

This year, I am more prepared. Not necessarily in fitness, but definitely in ‘fit!

In 2024 I raced the 21km. This year I’m taking the distance down a notch and the energy up to another level! Running the 14km means more time afterwards to cheer on all of you other beautiful racers as you cross the finish!

There’s still time to register, and this year, every participant will have the chance to win one of three ‘Peg City Parks books as door prizes. AND EVERY first-place finisher will receive a copy of the eBook! All other podium placers will receive a coupon for a free individual scavenger hunt of their choice.

✨Choose from 7, 14, or 21 kilometre distances (1, 2 or 3 loops) on this super fun, windy course in Lee River.

‼️Deadline is June 7th at midnight and race day is June 14th! Orientation run is tomorrow (May 31st), so if you’ve been looking for a sign from the universe, this is it!

✌🏻Put on your funkiest ‘fit with me and get ready to get groovy, baby.

🏃🏼‍♀️Last week, I set out for a run without any special route in mind…

but when I passed one of my old schools and then ran past my first house just down the street, I started to think “why not do them all?”

🏡So, on came three more schools and one more house from my past in South St. Vital. And chance would have it that I actually had a substitute teaching job at my old high school on Friday too!

🏫 It was wild to see all the things that were the same, and all the new additions that have been made over the years. There is only one teacher still there from when I graduated, and it was nice to see her again (I also saw her very recently at my 25 year high school reunion!)

❤️Of course, there are four other homes in my life (Vermette, Sage Creek, Corydon, Elmwood) not pictured here, and the U of M and the building where I spent my career in terms of schools that aren’t in this post.

❓Do you still live in the neighbourhood where you grew up? Share which area of Winnipeg shaped you in the comments!

📰 From the (Park Hunting) Archives 7

Today’s archived post comes at you from almost exactly nine years ago! Looks like maybe the spring of 2017 was a little bit warmer than the current one has been 😅

I was less than six weeks into “park hunting” and I’d already visited 331 parks!

🌳 I can’t remember for sure if this was my first time on the Towering Cottonwoods Trail, but I can say with certainty that it is now one of my faves in the city. Forest path ✅ Riverside ✅ Giant trees ✅

❓Have you been to this area and any of these parks? Make sure to put it on your list for this summer!

👋Hello!

It’s been a minute since I introduced myself, so I thought I’d make a post to share some more things about me.

When they tell stories or share memories, I often feel like other people in my life remember more their childhood than I do. Looking back at photos has always helped me recall moments, and is probably why I take so many pictures! 📸

As a kid, I remember being both outgoing and shy. I didn’t want to play organized sports because it felt like too much pressure to perform in a group of people. Yet, at one point I remember wanting to be a famous actress. Seems I couldn’t make up my mind, and not much has changed!

I grow tired and bored of doing most things for an extended period of time (there are a few exceptions like hiking or most things outdoors!) My need for new experiences and scenery change has led me to travel extensively, and acquire MANY hobbies.

I couldn’t be bothered with things like make-up or fashion, and prefer to live simply, both in attire and belongings. I prioritize experiences, community, and personal relationships over material things. This eventually led me to great my website, Successfully Sustainable.

My love for Winnipeg brought me to challenge myself to see more of it, which lead to visiting all 1300+ parks and open spaces in the city in 2017-18. Covid saw the inception of ‘Peg City Parks, and 5 years later, here we are!

✨Follow along if you enjoy content featuring Winnipeg’s green spaces, or are looking for ways to get outdoors more in the city and beyond.

Thanks for being here,

❤️Julie
