If you’re into running or want a new summer challenge, register for 5 Peaks. The trail running company hosts events across Canada for all skill levels (there’s even a kids’ category).
I signed-up for the Whistler Blackcomb Race a couple summers ago, and had a blast. It was my first trail race, so the 10k felt more like 20, but the views…They definitely helped numb the pain. As did my Salomon XT wings – these trail running shoes are hands down the most comfortable shoes in the world.
Agree/disagree? Tell us what shoe helps you numb the pain.

About Nora
I’m a Jamchirish (Jamaican-Chinese / Irish) ex-national team fencer turned writer from Calgary, Alberta. Vancouver's now home, and I’ve been stationed at MEC head office since June 2009.
When not in my cube spinning copy for wool toques or bike pumps, you’ll probably find me in Squamish or Penticton on the rock or Pacific Rim National Park in the water.
My mom is my biggest fan and my friends are my biggest inspiration. Skunk attacks, climbing epics, surf trips, and snow days… Stories flow easily and I tend to feed the best ones to the blog.
Happy reading.
