  We invited Jen Williston and Maryse Babineau on our show today to talk about the Moncton Women trail running group. We wanted an update about events that the ladies are going to compete in this year. The first thing that strikes you when you listen to this episode is how dedicated these women are to their trail running. Tuesday is the day and for these two ladies, it is non-negotiable even with the busy lives they lead. We talk about the stress relief of getting out and running with the group. How the group started and if they run trails in the Winter or even in the dark. Of course, a trail-running podcast episode isn't complete without talking about Bacon. If you are in the area and want to run with the Women's trail running group check them out. The links for the Moncton groups are below.

 Our very special guest tonight is Ian Loughead, senior conservator at an N.S. museum. Early on Ian was into team sports, Soccer, and especially Baseball. Later on in his 20s, Ian started cycling and doing road races, 70-90 km runs and he did this for 5-6 years. Of course, this led to Duathlons and finishing over 20 Triathlons. This has all led to Ian being involved in the Maritime Dog Harness Association and Harness Dog Sports. Canicross is a sport where a dog and a human run together. Your dog needs to be on their lead throughout the event and harness belts and bungee lines must be in use. A great way for people and dogs to get outdoors exercise and have some fun. We discuss Ian's charity race for Movember every year and how Ian only got serious about running in his 40s. See it's never too late. Lastly, we talk about how Ian is now into coaching runners and how much he enjoys helping others reach their goals.

  An excellent conclusion to a wonderful talk with Colin McQuade, Lindsay Laltoo, and Aaron Sellers. All three runners are from the Greater Moncton Running Club and listening to this episode you can tell these three get along so well. Running, staying in shape, and being active in the community are important to this group. It's nice seeing people helping others to achieve their goals while working on their own, it makes for a wonderful time out with your peers. Motivation is contagious and we hope this week's talks motivate someone to get out and be active. Be safe out there and see you next week.

 In this week's episode, we are thrilled to sit down with three wonderful people in the Greater Moncton Club. Colin McQuade, Lindsay Laltoo, and Aaron Sellers. We go in-depth talking about everything Greater Moncton Running Club. We go over events they have created and take part in, all at a low cost to the participants, an excellent idea for everyone these days. We have so much to discuss in this episode that we cut it into two episodes to get everything in. Such as the Boston Marathon, great job Colin and everyone from our region that went. We discussed the GMRC and the team they will be sending to the Cabot Trail Relay this year, sounds like a ton of fun. The Greater Moncton Running Club helps bring all our running communities together, no one is left behind, and a great time out with friends. Maybe you want to give them a try and see for yourself. Don't forget the conclusion next week.

  Dr. Bob Forbes is back on our show this week, what he did is so amazing and cool we couldn't wait. Dr. Bob ran a marathon in Antarctica, meaning he has run a marathon on all 7 continents. The best part is we talk all about it, so few people have thought about doing what Dr. Bob did. Bob and his wife took a boat ride to Antarctica and away he went. We hear about the weather, what it was like getting there, the terrain, and much more. We chat about Bob and his Boston marathon runs and the one coming up on April 15th. If you have ever thought about what it might be like to run in a very faraway place then this episode is for you. It has been 100 episodes since Bob was last on, you can bet we will not wait as long next time.

 What a fantastic talk we had with Carolane Pitre. Originally from Quebec and now living in Halifax, this young lady has been through a lot and will not give up. Her determination, drive, and personality will not allow her to stop. The one time she did haunted her so much that she had to duplicate the event to make amends. Running, swimming and biking keep Carolane motivated, put all three together and it's a dream come true. We asked Carolane about her cycling accident and how long it took to recover. Carolane was back on the bike as soon as she was physically able. As always on Motivate to Move, it's wonderful to see people motivated to keep on moving and not let anything get in their way. Great job Carolane, we can't wait to see what is next for you.
