75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This week overall getting my runs in was a little tough for a few reasons. After my long run last week my knees were pretty sore. I wonder if that’s because I did it in a new pair of sneakers, so that’s sort of freaking me out a bit.. But I knew they weren’t injury... Continue Reading →
I’m someone who breaks big and hard things down into percentages and fractions. It started in high school with guarding crowded open swims and it continues with long runs today. This week every 3 km was 10% of the total and after 6 km I only had to do what I just did 4 more... Continue Reading →
This week I got all my kms covered so that’s a big win. Little things kept popping up to make running harder than it should have been but I made it through. I am totally in the stage where I’m counting down to the end and not only is that okay it’s totally normal. This... Continue Reading →
This was the first in person race I’ve done since the pandemic started. There have been just a few in my area and some that even happened last fall but before now I just wasn’t ready. Specifically I definitely wanted to be double vaxed before I participated. When the email came through for this one... Continue Reading →
This week ticked on as predicted. I’m actually mostly back working with honey which has been really nice. My helper at work has learned everything there is to know at this point and she can handle my stuff with litte oversight which is great. After my long run this last weekend I had a lot...

First off I apologize to regular readers because all I’m getting out is training updates but that’s a pretty accurate representation of how my life is right now. This week was always going to be a tough one because I had to take my work truck off the road for what I thought was going... Continue Reading →
There’s no getting around it marathon training is adding up as is life. This past week of running was fine as was life but both together was lets just say less than fine. Alright that’s a bit dramatic but we are where we are. I guess dramatic is just the mood that I’m in. Nothing... Continue Reading →
I finished last week tuckered out. So at the start of this week I knew that I might need to skip a run and I’m okay with that. I didn’t, well I sort of did, I turned one into a longer walk. This week was a little stressful at work, nothing too serious but like... Continue Reading →
This week just blew by. Honestly, I barely remember it as I’m going back picking out the pictures I was thinking ‘was that even this week’. This week in July is a busy week every year because not only is it my birthday it’s my little sister’s too. That fact led to us considering it... Continue Reading →
Runners might not get the shade that cyclists do but many drivers would prefer that we not be on the road either. After all we have a choice right? Well… it’s not as simple as you might think. Here’s the thing though drivers, cyclists runners and walkers all have a right to be on the... Continue Reading →
