So, how to support Toronto […]

When I went to Toronto’s flagship Nike recently store to learn about the new Nike+ GPS iPhone app ($1.99 on iTunes), I prayed that they wouldn’t ask me to run. Thankfully they didn’t, but after inspecting the application I actually wished they had.

India Hicks is a glorious force to be reckoned with, somewhat in line with the Energizer bunny and a tornado that keeps picking up speed and momentum. Between spending time with her husband and four children, blogging, tweeting, and working with Crabtree & Evelyn on her India Hicks Island Living and Island Night fragrance collections, Hicks ran a marathon (her third!). Lara Tobin sat down with the interior designer and former model, in town to attend the Canadian Fragrance Awards, to chat about the experience.

So I hear you have just finished a marathon. That’s amazing!
“And I’ve done two other marathons, the London Marathon both times. In London there are 37,000 other runners who are running for causes to raise money. It’s just amazing what people do and there’s this extraordinary sense of support.

“And you know, as you’re running along it’s incredible what you see [when] you get to mile 17 and you’re about to die and give up and a blind man tied to a guide runs past you and you think ‘what am I doing? Get up and move!’ But every time it’s like having a baby. Every time you say never again.”

This weekend, while my friends go shopping for presents and put up the Christmas lights, I’ll be in Sin City for my very first half-marathon! My training has been fun and amazing, but in true Rebecca fashion, looking cute has stayed near the top of my list of priorities (I’m a firm believer that wearing nice running clothes will equal going for a jog, even when it’s pissing rain outside!).
