Paris Run Club – Christian Confidential

One of the things I love most about travelling and blogging is being able to find cool ways to incorporate some of the brands that I work with on my journey. I got the chance to visit the Nike media showroom in Paris and discuss fashion and fitness for the upcoming Fall/Winter season. We touched on key items for both men & women, the start up of their Paris Run Club (which I also participated in) & I got to preview some of the fall collection that’s not yet in stores!

The Sportswear collection for women is pretty amazing, the Roshe’s were a definite highlight for me.

Last year’s Aeroloft 800 vest saved my life when it came to running outdoor, so I’m excited to test out this new outerwear piece for men when it’s available in Canada.

Running with the Paris Run Club was such a great experience. I think that running is such a great way to explore a new city and doing it with an enthusiastic group can make it that much better. The run group along with the run captain Jay of Black Rainbow were so welcoming and really pushed me with my pace. After our run we did a short core and muscle building circuit, followed up with some stretching. All in all; it was a great experience training with the Parisian team and amazing to see how they executed their program. Thank you to both my Canadian Nike family for making this happen & my new French Nike family for the warm welcome! Until next time Paris!

My time in Paris was one of the best experiences I’ve had in my entire life. Picking up and traveling alone across the world and making an unknown area home, even if it’s temporary is probably one of the most exhilarating things you can do. I learned so much about myself by being present in the moment and open to what this beautiful city had to offer. Whether it be figuring out how to use their transit system, feeling comfortable dining alone, exploring the city on a motor bike or just getting use to the Parisian way of doing things. Everyday I attempted to discover something new and the days that I needed something familiar I ventured back to my favourite hangouts; Ladurée & Café Charlot.Sacré Coeur – Montmartre

I decided to title this post “Photo Diary” because that’s truly what this collection of images represent to me. These were some of my favourite moments captured throughout my time in Paris and although they may not all seem personal on the surface what they signify as a whole is this pinnacle moment in my life that I decided to take a chance and trust the unknown . This is something that I’m getting more and more comfortable with embracing and this month long adventure was the starting point.
