A rainy week so far but so far it's been 1300m swim, 60min intervals on the bike, a light run and 2 strength sessions.

I'm doing a Triathlon in July, my first ever. I wanted to combine my personal challenge with doing something positive, so I am trying to raise money for CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation. Since all of my kids were born there and we had such amazing care each time, I want to try to give something back and support the incredible work they are doing. Link in my bio to the fundraising page!

This is a rather long video, and it's not really about me climbing, it's about emotion and being proud of my children. Today was just amazing. Maybe more for me than my two older kids. Being able to climb side by side and seeing them loving the experience brought back so many memories. Climbing was pretty much my life from age 14 to 20. I had tried so many sports before, and the first time my parents brought me to climb, it just clicked. I think climbing taught me so many valuable lessons: the importance of failing and trying again, over and over again until you succeed, celebrating your own and others' victories and the importance of trust and community. It probably also appealed to my very adventurous spirit. Although I only climb once in a while now, this was a truly memorable occasion and I hope that my children will find their sport or activity that they love, it might be climbing or something else. Whatever it is, I will support them and give them any advice I can. And also, they were pretty good at it, especially Juju that just kept on going, she climbed this route at least 15 times, not bad for a 5 year old on their first try.

Together with many of my colleagues @goodfoodca , I'm participating in the pushup challenge for mental health in February, starting today, doing 2000 pushups over 23 days. The physical part of doing these pushups is nothing compared to what someone struggling with mental health issues goes through everyday, but if it can help raise money and spread awareness it is something I am very happy to participate in. If you would like to donate, please use the link below, I am also proud to say that @goodfoodca will match what myself and my colleagues are able to fundraise.

Happy 6th birthday Edith! Thank you for being the sunshine(and sometimes storm...) that you are, for taking care of your little siblings,
