Day 18 - Social Miles with Toby L.: Keeping Movember Moving
When A Committed Supporter and Endurance Go the Distance for Men’s Health
On a chilly 6-degree late afternoon on Day 18, I laced up for a special social pace run with Toby Lee—a committed support for my Movember campaign.
This year, he took things a step further. In addition to his usual donation, Toby found an hour in his busy schedule to join me for some miles, making this 6.71 km extra meaningful.
What many may not know is that running isn’t Toby’s usual activity. He prefers to stay active in other ways—playing pickleball and working out with his wife on Monday and Thursday. Despite not being a runner, Toby jumped right in, embracing the challenge with his trademark good spirit.
This Movember, we decided to mix things up. We plotted a mustache-shaped route, and it turned out just as fun as it sounds! Now in the third week of running 6.71 km daily, my legs are sore, and my quads are begging for a massage. I’m not used to this much running—let alone seven days in a row! But training for endurance is all part of the journey, and sharing the miles with Toby made the tougher stretches feel a little lighter and a lot more meaningful.
Running beside a dedicated supporter like Toby reminded me why we do this—not only to chase our personal goals, but to raise awareness and support for men’s health. Here’s to ambitious challenges, great company, and the power of running for a cause.

Day 12 - Thanks for the miles, Graeme!
Running with someone always makes the miles pass more quickly. It was a pleasure catching up with Graeme today, despite the rain! During our run, I asked Graeme about his approach to decompressing, and his advice was refreshingly straightforward: “Any physical activity works!” This simple reminder highlights the importance of movement—not just for physical well-being, but for mental health as well.
Advocating for men’s health means encouraging open conversations, supporting one another, and recognizing that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether it’s through physical activity, meaningful connections, or professional support, prioritizing health—both physical and mental—is essential.
Let’s continue to promote awareness, foster supportive environments, and remind each other that taking care of our health is not only important, but necessary.
Your Mo' Sister Sarah.

Day 8 - West Dyke Trail
As Remembrance Day approaches next Tuesday, I found myself reflecting while exploring the West Dyke Trail in Richmond—a site rich in history of the former Fort Steveston army base during World War II (1939–1945). This gravel trail winds through the Steveston area, offering peaceful views of the Salish Sea.
Whether you’re up for a short walk, a jog, or a bike ride, the West Dyke Trail is an ideal spot to step away from your routine. I went for an easy run on this trail today, and the soothing scenery was a gentle reminder of the importance of taking time for yourself.
If you’re feeling busy or overwhelmed, I highly recommend finding a moment to pause—whether it’s on this trail or anywhere that brings you calm. A simple break can refresh your mind and help you reconnect with what matters most.

Day 2 – Recovery Run Day
A recovery run isn’t about pushing your limits or achieving personal bests—it’s about allowing your body to recuperate, maintain movement, and promote blood flow to your muscles at an easy pace (about 60% effort). Similarly, scheduling downtime between demanding work blocks isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. These breaks help your mind reset, reduce stress, and sustain productivity throughout the day. Just as a recovery run supports your long-term athletic progress, regular breaks—whether it’s a 30-minute weight session, a 15–20-minute walk, or simply stepping away for a moment—are vital for your overall well-being and effectiveness at work.
Question: How often do you incorporate these essential breaks into your daily routine?

Day 1 - I’m fulfilling my daily running goal of 6.71 km by completing a 5 km race and a 2 km treadmill run beforehand.
This race is dedicated to my granny, who has always reminded me of the importance of staying active.
Studies indicate that running benefits mental health. I'd be happy to share some miles, whether long or short, with anyone interested in giving it a try.

For the Month of Movember I am challenging myself for 60 for 60 challenge. The number 60 represents the global static of men who take their lives every hour. I am challenging myself every day to incorporate this number in my daily activities. These have been my last two days.

Final words.
Special thanks to those following my Mo Space this Movember; I hope you had some amusing laughs. Laughter is the best medicine, and I thought it would be a fun way to promote men's health and awareness. I'm also running my last 11 km today, which adds to the 60 km I committed to for Movember. If my Mo Bro Tom had once backed out of his 5 km daily run, I wouldn't have kept my word. So I'm grateful to you, Tom!

Tim's enthusiasm for Movember is admirable, and his mug says it all! Many thanks to my Mo Sister, Eva, who did whatever she needed to do to get that mug for me. Originally I had planned to take this photo at Tim's desk. It's too bad that yesterday's snow got in the way. I was in traffic for two hours and finally had to give up.

Your stache is too perfect, Tyler. Despite cutting, glueing, and attaching for an hour, I am still far from close. I, however, appreciate your buddy for sticking around.

Now that all the staches of my Mo Bro’s in our team are growing strong, it’s time for me to cut my hair and finalizing my Movember Champaign. I look forward to impersonate some stache tonight. A request came through from my Facebook account last night to mimic Shaun’s. Sounds great. Stay tuned -all!

Mo Sister Jennifer Keates and I co-hosted our inaugural Mo-Sista Sparkle Event, and some iconic staches were captured! Charis' Stache resembles that of General Melchett. Jenn and Jada the twinsie - Daniel & Henrik Sedin. Jackie - the classic moustache that every man desires. Shivauna chose Jason Lee's Stache style, while Sanjana chose William Shakespeare's. Terri thought David Tomlinson's classic moustache would be fun to wear. Charlie Chaplin probably has the most distinctive Stache style of all time, and I can't refuse to put it on.

It is time to call up some long-time colleagues for a catch-up dinner. Everyone is doing well in the hybrid work environment. Here is how they showed their support to their Mo Sister :-). Thanks for coming! Cheers, Sarah
