We want to thank everyone who listened to any of our shows and tell everyone we will be back with more episodes in the New Year. We plan on making the episodes shorter, less scripted, and on a semi-regular basis, but the hope is that they seem more like discussions and less like reading.
For our first episode in 6 months, we have our most popular guest ever and he is indeed BACK! Santa Claus himself has agreed to come back on our show for the fifth time and we couldn't be happier. A great holiday message so grab some Hot Chocolate and have a listen and just relax, you have earned it.

Amanda Mills Sirois is our special guest this week and it is exciting to have her on our show. Amanda started running indirectly because of a 5km wine run, and things took off from that point. With her running partner Allison, they ran the Ottawa marathon and came close to qualifying for Boston. Hired a coach to help with qualifying, job done. Raised money in support of Down Syndrome and ran the legendary Boston Marathon. Amanda was not done yet, not even close. Managed to run all 6 of the major marathons in 4 years, how does one top that? Well Marathon Pour Tous in France, that's how. Recreational or non-elite athletes have been invited to participate in an Olympic event for the first time. Running the same course as the marathon athletes and with an Olympic medal in 2024, amazing.

Diane lined up a fantastic guest for our episode this week, Joyce King from Lower Hainesville N.B. Many of you don't know that Joyce was a champion arm wrestler. Even crazier is the fact Joyce started at the late age of 30. Skip ahead 10 years and Joyce defeated a Russian rival super heavyweight to become the best female arm wrestler in the world. I was unaware of this, but Joyce competed with her right and left arm over her career. Joyce earned 18 national championships and 18 World Arm Wrestling Federation medals, she won 12 gold, four silver, and two bronze medals. Inducted into the Canadian Arm Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2011. Inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame, on October 15, 2021. Joyce the Catcher King was her nickname and for good reason. I don't want to spoil it here but you should listen to the episode and find out why the Catcher King is so appropriate. A wonderful episode and I am sure our audience will enjoy this one a ton.

In this episode of Motivate to Move we chat with Bob Dumouchel, Bob loves staying active, cycling, and running just to name a few things. Bob volunteers for many local events and sometimes leads runners in half marathons while on his bike clearing the way. Bob chats with us about the Thornton Bridge Parkrun in Fredericton. What is a Parkrun you might ask? Parkrun is positive, welcoming, and inclusive, there is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along. You can run, walk jog, and volunteer and it is a free event. This happens every Saturday at 9 AM all over the world. Very interesting to hear Bob tell us about everything Parkrun. You might want to get your barcode and head on up to the next free Parkrun. Hey, one never knows.

Tonight we have two very special guests with us from the Chasing Trails podcast, and we will be linking their wonderful podcast in our show notes below. Diane and I love running and both of us love to listen to podcasts so why not have the best of both worlds on our show? We welcome Brandon Thompson and Geoff Leblanc from Chasing Trails and we were very happy they agreed to come on our show and chat a little about them and about their excellent podcast. The more people we have listening the more likely someone out there may hear about running and keeping active and head on out to an activity, that is the real goal. Brandon and Geoff are easy to listen to and have a passion for running on the trails and keeping others active. When you listen to this episode you may want to get some trail running shoes and head out. A great community and a great way to keep on moving.

Our guest this evening was a heavy smoker and in 2006 started cycling. Amir had no idea how much this would change her life. Amir has done a famous ride called the Golden Triangle twice. Riding from Banff to Golden in one day, Golden to Radium the next day, and from Radium back to Banff the third day. works out to roughly 100 km daily and has incredible elevations and scenery. Now Amir focuses more on trail running and includes strength training and yoga to keep on trucking. Amir has a goal of running a 50 km trail run in every Province, awesome. Coaching kids to help them ride confidently, Amir is a busy lady with her hands on many different things. Now she is in charge of this awesome ride in PEI called the Gran Fondo, the 11th year for the big ride across PEI. This ride has been designed to show the best parts of PEI and because it is a recreational ride you can stop along the way and visit local shops and experience some of the local cuisine. Friday, August 23rd to the 25th, register through Race Roster and hurry because there are only 300 spots total and it is filling fast. Amir and her group have thought of everything for the Gran Fondo and we are sure the event will go off without a hitch, I can't wait to hear about it after the fact. At the end of this episode, Amir shares a shocking story with us and I was left speechless. Luckily, Amir overcame all this adversity and has been killing it ever since.
Here is the Gran Fondo PEI website, check it out and perhaps sign up.

Tonight we welcome two very special guests back to our show. Nathaniel Couture and Ryan O'Shea are on our podcast again and we were very excited to welcome them and they have brought three very special guests with them. With Nathaniel is his son Sam who is 14 and with Ryan is his son Liam who is 13 and his daughter Amelia who is 9. Tonight's episode will focus on the Speeding Cheetahs and what young ones think about the group. What it is like to lead some of the younger children. With 233 registered kids for the Spring, it is easy to say kids want to run, and Ryan and Nathaniel are filling this vital role. This episode is packed with great stories by the children and some jokes. Diane and I do a lot of laughing, the kids are wonderful and we now know kids just want to run. Having 13-14-year-olds helping to coach younger kids to run is an amazing idea. And the puddle jumping sounds like such fun I want to give it a go. We hope other groups will start up after hearing this episode. Sit back and munch on some popcorn with your family, get out with everyone, and go for a run.

In this episode, Diane and I chat about some real-life issues we have run into recently. How we struggle to stay motivated and what we are doing now to keep on moving. Life can be a tricky balance of family, work, and even the weather. Just because we are on the other side of the mic doesn't mean things are always rosy. We wanted to share some of the issues we face in hopes others who struggle will keep up the good fight to stay motivated. There are ups and downs for all of us and I hope people who listen will realize they are not alone.

We welcome Sebastien Godin Back to our podcast this evening, Sebastien was with us way back on episode 16, over 3 years ago. Sebastien quit drinking and smoking lost 100 pounds, got into shape, and started running all sorts of distances including marathons. Bucket list in hand Sebastien set out to break some personal goals. He qualified for Boston but had some issues on the course and wanted to redeem himself. After only 4 weeks Sebastien ran the Fredericton marathon to qualify for Boston next year. Beat the qualifying time for Boston by 5:45, it's close but we here at Motivate to Move believe Sebastien has it all under control. Working on track workouts and interval training has made Sebastien a faster runner, training and a coach made all the difference. Sebastien shares a wonderful story where he found a full pack of cigarettes while on a trail and you should hear how he handled the situation. Sebastien won the Sylvio Bourque Memorial Award (Inspirational Person of the Year) at the RunNB Awards in 2023. Sebastien has recently become a RunNB member willing to help the organization in any way he can, awesome. If you need some inspiration or maybe a little nudge to get motivated again, listen to this episode, it is worth your time.

Tonight's very special guest comes to us from Riverview NB and is part of the Riverview Running Idiots like myself and Diane, it was a pleasure to welcome Julie Stokes to our show. Julie Stokes is the Supervisor of Water & Wastewater for the City of Moncton, NB where she assists in the supervision of the Municipality’s Water & Wastewater Operations. Julie has lived in Riverview for 4 years even though the plan was to stay only 2. Started running in the Fall of 2012 on a dare and a few pops. Proved to herself that she could run and went to Ottawa in May 2013 for her first 10km race, had an amazing experience in Ottawa, and was hooked. Joined the running room clinics, first came the 10km clinic and somewhere along the way, she was told she would never finish a half-marathon race, Oh yeah, watch me now. "Gremlins in my head" is a great story you need to hear from Julie as she learns to shut down her negative thoughts. Thanks to a Covid Garmin watch gift to her daughter, Julie had a run partner through Covid. Don't forget Julie shares silly sewer stories while running and she has some good ones. Enjoys camping and now runs on the trails in Fundy Park.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful interview with all three of our guests Dan Foote his son Caleb Foote and one of their instructors Wyatt Macquarrie-milco. The charity We Believe last held in 2023 in Saint John brought over 8 thousand educators, students, and speakers together simultaneously. The message was simple, encouraging youth to be the Change. Some of the issues on the table were mental and physical health, volunteering, bullying, self-worth, and how each of us can better the world. This event was live streamed all over the world and 2025 will be even bigger and better. Tickets for the event are free and all the links will be below in the notes so check it out.
Empowered to Ride is another program, instructors Caleb Foote and his good friend Wyatt are helping kids get on donated and bought mountain bikes and go riding through the trails. Inspiring our kids to stay active and get outdoors. Now they have 10 bikes and the demand for children taking this course is high so why don't we help these guys get more bikes to help more kids? links are below. This is a great story and one that we hope others will hear and support. Invest in our kid's future.

Tonight our very special guest is Graham Black, a native of Montreal who has lived in Moncton for the past 24 years. Graduated from Concordia University, with a degree in Sports Medicine as a Certified Athletic Therapist and Strength and Conditioning Specialist with over 25 years of experience in both fields. Graham is also the athletic Therapist for our Moncton Wildcats and is currently Co-owner of Sportmed Max in Dieppe. A former guest that we enjoy having on, Michael Roy, suggested making an appointment to see Graham and I am very glad I did. We discuss the difference between a Physiotherapist and an Athletic Therapist and some of the common injuries that Graham sees. Graham surprises us with something he is seeing more often, I didn't have this on my radar at all but makes sense when you think about things today. When Graham isn't seeing people at his clinic he is hard at work with the Moncton Wildcats, Go cats go! Winning the Memorial Cup is always the goal and maybe this year that will happen. We had an amazing discussion and Graham is so good at telling stories, especially about when he needed a suit at the last minute to be hired for the Wildcats job.
I enjoyed my time at Sportmed Max Physiotherapy and I wanted to get the phone number out there for anyone who could use any of the services that they provide, links below. We hope everyone who tunes in has a wonderful day and stays safe and injury-free.
