75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This week was one where a few things popped up to make running a little harder. We had a couple of rain days and for no good reason at all that always seems to make it a little harder to make it out the door. There was a lot of work stuff that had to... Continue Reading →
This week may be the point I look back on later in training that led me to thinking this would be easy. I worked 58 hours for myself, about 5 for honey and 5 more tutoring. I also got all my runs in pretty effortlessly. Well mostly effortlessly but pretty easily at least. I’m loving... Continue Reading →
My favorite gardening projects are taking spaces that have been forgotten and neglected and bringing them back to life. More often than not with a bit of work I'm able to take something that looks a mess and tame it into something beautiful. I especially love when I can do this without bringing in new...

This week has been a hell of a lot easier on the head than last week was. It goes to show that starting is often the hardest part. Well starting and peak week probably. This week was some short runs, all the same length that made me a bit happy for no really good reason... Continue Reading →

At least it was for me. You can read all about the minutia of that in this Sunday’s post as well as... Continue Reading →
You might be thinking my watch does that for me right? Well no it doesn’t really and I don’t think the notes section on your watch has enough space for that. One thing I used to do on here in the before times is write training updates. The reasons I started doing that is because... Continue Reading →
Bad habits are hard to break and good ones are hard to start. But what if you've gone back to something you've given up or lapsed from something you should be doing I'm here to tell you not all hope is lost! Though it doesn't usually feel that way. When we have a back-slip it... Continue Reading →
Depending on where you live things might be returning to normal. At the very least people might be saying things will return to normal soon. Well normal-ish. That means how we use our time is going to be changing too. For a lot of people time has been a lot more flexible a concept over... Continue Reading →
