Outdoor Activities


I haven't got stuck into Muay Thai as much as I planned to. Summer in Vancouver is like a summer in Spain to an Irish person. Loving the sun and the seawall! It's easy to jog, walk, cycle, rollerblade or skateboard around Stanley park and the beaches in safety and enjoy the picture perfect scenery!

To see people out exercising here all the time is normal. There were times at home in Ireland when I was out running and people (scumbags) shout things at you from cars.

People in Vancouver don't let things like babies get in the way of their running. Mothers and fathers jog with their buggies. I even see mommy and baby bootcamp classes in the parks.  People here even jog and cycle with their dogs.

On the beaches people are playing volleyball and in the parks people are kicking balls around and playing frisbee. People are playing tennis and basketball in the courts all within Stanley park. We are even getting into the swing of things ourselves and have strolled down to knock a ball or a frisbee around. We own tennis rackets too but that's a bit harder to be able to grab a court but we try. Last week we got on the bikes and cycled around the seawall.

It's refreshing to be living somewhere like this and it can only help motivate me to get off my own arse and join the fit Vancouverites!
