I’m thrilled to be in the Top 30. But things don’t end there. Vancouver Mom hosts a DAILY online voting campaign to finalize the Top Blog each year.
For the next 3 weeks, every day you have the opportunity to vote for myself (Shannon Sawicki, Venus Fitness) as well as the other amazing #MomBoss bloggers.
It feels odd to ask you to vote for my little corner of the internet as ‘Top Vancouver Mom Blog’ for 2018.
Moms know that in order to give to others, they must first give to themselves, including the gifts of time, self-care, health, and fitness.
In other words…..When you fill your cup first you can fill other’s more.
Flight attendants provide the perfect analogy. In their pre-flight safety announcements, they show us how to apply oxygen masks if needed during the flight, with instructions to “put on your own mask first” before assisting others. Why? Because without oxygen we can’t provide care to anyone else.
So take 20 minutes for yourself this Mother’s Day, indulge in some well deserved self-care, here are some of my favorite things.
Yesterday I completed my 3rd BMO half-marathon. Voted Vancouver’s best, the BMO Vancouver Half Marathon is an extremely fast course. From start to finish this race is top rate, taking you through different neighborhoods on your journey to the Finish Line. Chinatown to Yaletown, to the beautiful West End. You experience historic landmarks, breathtaking views, vibrant communities, and my personal favorite, thousands of spectators cheering you towards the finish line!
Read on for this years race review and personal highlight.
