One thing I've learned in the last decade is that there is no one road to success. Once you get there the destination can be vastly different from person to person. That might also change within your lifetime. When we think of someone who is classically successful as having a nice office job to go... Continue Reading →
Winter is coming, dare I tempt fate with the fact that it’s not here yet though? Which means winter running is just around the corner. Here’s the thing winter runs are still great runs they are just a little less great than other times of year. You might find that you are slower in the... Continue Reading →
This year the half at Bluenose was actually my bonus post training season race. Even though that sounds like a humble brag it’s not, it’s just been a crazy running year. My mom has been sorta kinda toying with the idea of a half for a while now and then you know, Covid happened. Lucky... Continue Reading →
I'm not a superstitious person as a rule. If the shortest route is under a ladder I'm taking it, a black cat is just that and I'm a regular crack stepper. One thing I do though is wish on things, blowing out candles or 11:11 or 12:34 on the clock merits a wish. Because why... Continue Reading →

Race season is finally behind us for another year or it will be very soon. You might be thinking what comes next? How much rest do I need after this? How much should I run now? Or you might even have a hard time remembering what it feels like to run a ‘normal’ amount. First... Continue Reading →
Ahhhh.... Marathon training is done, the days are getting shorter and we're home earlier. I'm back to teaching a couple of evenings a week and back to working on my own without anyone else to keep busy. So things are getting back to normal around here and while I'm still a little busy it's more... Continue Reading →
Even if you’re mostly in it for the medal and the shirt I’m here to tell you that you should still run outside race and training season. Not only should you run outside race season you should run in all the seasons! I get that it’s hard to do sometimes but running (even outdoors) year... Continue Reading →
