For every actual toque I like purchased until these run out (15), I will give you one of these for FREE! You can wear it (someone likes them!) or donate it, wash your car with it...whatever you want!! Anyways...that’s a new spin on a promotion right!!? Happy SUNDAY!!!! #BOGO #uglytoqueparty #yycapparel #buyonegetonefree

Smiling because I can look back at this summer and be proud of what I’ve accomplished. And that’s ok to look back and be like look what I did!. I was laid off just over 3 months ago. Could have let that defeat me, but if anything that gave me the GREEN light to pursue this passion project even harder and anyone who knows me, knows I won’t sit still. If I don’t MOVE, neither will the project, the business, and my goals. Good things are happening now but it’s because of month...s hard work & not letting Covid and the restrictions that came with it STOP me from making the most of this time. AMAZING opportunities are now coming...So while acknowledge all the struggles everyone is going through, as 1 of my idols @des_linden would say Keep Showing Up. For others, and yourself first. Took her decades of work and she became the @bostonmarathon Champ! No one else I would rather look up to. #keepshowingup See more

When she isn’t tearing up the streets, this is her home away from home. Her happy place...if you can’t tell! Model: @tealruns @madisonkoekkoek #explorealberta #mountains #chasingviews

Thanks to everyone who donated sports gear and purchased items at last weeks pop up sale, @cabinbrewing and @chasepackproject were able to donate a massive bin of gear for kids across southern Alberta as well as $120 to assist with this program. Please look to support @flamessportbank as I know when I was a kid I was lucky enough to have played in many sports and so easy to take for granted that and the expensive nature (just ask my parents, and can’t thank them enough!). But every child deserves the opportunity to play and this organization and @kidsportcalgary is a big reason that allows a lot this same opportunity. If you have any gear to donate shoot them a DM! #kidsport

How do I stay motivated to get out the door and stay active? Why do I RUN? Here are 5 tips for staying motivated during this time of quarantine. #motivation #runningmotivation #runyyc #thesweatlife #run #running #quarantine #findyourwhy

Quickly realizing how much we all craved community, sweating and running together. But now we’re forced to be alone and have to make the best of it! Having Goals are always important but I feel like more than ever they are right now. These days may turn into weeks, and if we’re not careful you’ll waste this opportunity. While the world may feel like it stopped, you don’t have to. so try and find a GOAL (even a daily goal) so you’re using this gift of time to accomplish something. I want to make sure I’m getting outside, run or walk a mile, 5 min or an hour. Learn or re learn a skill (dance, read, whatever!) ... my friend @tealruns has a ton of great tips to remain productive through this hard time. So what is a daily goal or goals you want to accomplish while we can!? #stillChasing #goals #runtogetheryyc @ Chase Pack Project

The Chase Pack Project was formed on the basis of inspiring, encouraging & connecting those that are GOAL driven OR those that want to be - and looking for that extra push! This weekend I will race the Phoenix half marathon, a goal race of mine so I thought I would share my journey as I CHASE down this goal of 1:17 (77 min). However, I want to make this a learning experience- not only about what goes into my race weekend, but encourage others to share their goals and who and what inspires them! So follow along my insta story as I want to share, hear from you, and who knows you might just win something!!! This is the start of the project known as Chasing77. #lovethechase #goalchasers #chasepackproject #chasing77

Chased a December Run Streak and made it! Day 31 in a row, 300km. TIP: set daily small goals. It was daunting to think I could do 31 in a row, but I set a small goal daily of 20 min. Some were 20min easy on the dot as recovery, some were a long run, some slow, some fast, some at 5am and some at 930pm. It was just a part of the daily routine (like brushing your teeth), it had to get done! It wasn’t that hard it when I thought of it like that, small goals. Goes to show you that when you have the intention and make small daily steps, you can reach the big GOAL easier than thinking of the result. I now want to use this as a tool for other Goals I have. Like cooking at home, or reading! Baby steps. That’s all it takes. #lovethechase #onedayatatime @brassylilmonkey

Today was a special day. I was able to deliver a cheque for $2045 to The Alzheimer Society of Calgary thanks to everyone who came to support our Chase the Cure Event last month!

See you at the next one! @raflopez @ CrushCamp

Today’s Chase Pack Feature Friday athlete is @tealruns ! A @lululemon RUN ambassador, @bostonmarathon qualifier among so many other things! Here is her STORY of chasing her most recent big GOAL! - When a friend asked me after my first marathon how far off I was from qualifying for Boston, I laughed. That was October 2016 and I had just run a 3:59:50. Cutting 30 minutes off of my time seemed impossible. It got me thinking though and after improving my time to 3:53 the foll...owing May, I officially caught the Boston bug. I had a feeling that the only thing limiting me from a BQ was my own self. It took two more marathons, battling through 3 different injuries, and another year and a half of training to catch the Boston . Crossing the finish line at the @edmontonmarathon last August was was one of the most meaningful and fulfilling moments of my life. I was so excited to have achieved the biggest goal I’ve ever chased and be heading to run the Boston Marathon with some of my best friends. And then I got the rejection email.... I had missed the cut-off by 77 seconds. I was completely crushed. It was the perfect example of how you don’t fully realize how badly you want something until it is taken away. I gave myself 24 hours to throw a pity party and feel sorry for myself and then I knew I had to use this experience to grow. I spent the next year letting my rejection email (taped to my bathroom mirror) fuel me to go faster and be better than I thought I could be. I finally got my redemption in September and it was so sweet. I ran a 3:26:52 in Regina and secured my spot in Boston next April. Never did I ever think that I would run a marathon in the 3:20s and to be completely honest, if I had gotten in to Boston last year, I probably would have been happy with 3:31 as my PR. Although it hasn’t been easy, this experience has been the perfect reminder that our only limits are the ones we set upon ourselves and that a setback truly is a setup for a comeback. Chasing big goals is so scary but so worth it #lovethechase #chasepackfeaturefriday #cpff

Chase Pack Project invites you on Friday November 1st at 6:30pm to the very first Chase the Cure fundraiser in support of the Alzheimer Society of Calgary.

This cause means so much to me so I hope to see you all there! -Jeff ***More details and registration through the Link in BIO! @ CrushCamp See more

Today marks my first Chase Pack Feature Friday! Every Friday I will post a story of an athlete chasing their goals - as this is what this brand is all about...the GOAL DRIVEN. This is me, Jeff. I have been training in the marathon for the last 4.5 years and this weekend in Toronto marks my 8th. I am not an elite, I don’t get paid, I do this to test my limits and see what my body is able to do! Not to mention I get to travel to places and see the world by foot. I absolutely l...ove training, meeting new people, but competing excites me. I am a big supporter of people shouting out their goals, big or small, and have witnessed so many around me manifest them into reality. So here we GO. I have been chasing sub 250 in the marathon for over a year, and I’ve trained my butt off for this weekend. I have a plan and will stick to it. I’m confident, but no matter the result I’ve learnt to take away the positives as there are always lots in a race. It’s also the Olympic trials this weekend, and while I’m not even close to be in the running, I will be inspired by the excitement and athletes competing to represent our country. 2 days to go, feeling good and ready to get what I know I deserve. - Jeff. #lovethechase #CPFF #chasepackyyc @ Toronto Harbour See more
