75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
You know what's really boring... planning things out, writing them down and making schedules and spreadsheets. Budgets, label makers and grocery lists aren't much fun either. All those boring things take time and energy and I too make fun of people who own label makers. What's wrong with paper a marker and tape? The last... Continue Reading →
I challenge you to run past a beach without taking a turn and actually running on the sand. I live in an area with 10 separate beaches and 8 of them are on routes I regularly run. Most of them are very small but a couple are getting on to half a km or more.... Continue Reading →
There seems to be two types of workers in the world those that sit for their jobs and everyone else. Almost all of the jobs I’ve done are more physical than office work. I’ve worked in a lab and taught which is pretty much just standing. But I’ve also worked as a waitress, lifeguard, hotel... Continue Reading →
Are you a risk taker? I'm not at least I wasn't, I don't think. One thing is for certain if I'm going to take a risk I'll be over thinking it for a good long time first. Now there is nothing wrong with being either way, a risk taker or risk adverse. Looking back the... Continue Reading →

We have a fitness related post every Wednesday and Sunday except every second Wednesday (like today) it’s about some other random thing.

Last year my running motivation really suffered. I’m planning not for that to happen again this year. It’s still too early to say whether any of us will be running fall races this year but we’re all hoping right? Even if we are racing this year training season is a long way off still. It’s...

Life really is full of good things but it also has it's share of disappointments too. While it's true that those low moments make the high points much more sweet that's not the angle we're taking this week. This year (and really every year) has certainly had its share. Disappointments do lurk around ever corner.... Continue Reading →
No matter what sport you do the gear you use becomes incredibly important. Some of it is so central like a bike to a cyclist that your love of the sport almost entirely depends on it. There are other items that while important are either less so or generally done pretty well. Finally there is... Continue Reading →
This week I was going to write about people going out of their way to basically be big fat meanies but... that didn't feel quite right. Instead I'm going to write about what made my weekend instead of made it suck for a minute. My work (really all of the things I do) leads me... Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about home renovations that are always a good idea which you can read about here. But there are some things, some pretty popular things that aren’t such a great idea. These are both for people planning to stay in their homes and planning to sell. But we’ll get... Continue Reading →
