75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
For almost the whole of the past year we've been working in Peggy's Cove, which is admittedly a bit of a tourist trap. We haven't made it as far as the lighthouse although we're there with visitors pretty dang often. At least 10 times I've had my running gear in the car but I've always... Continue Reading →
Recently someone bought one of my training plans specifically the realistic 1/2 marathon plan but life happens and instead she’s working on a 10k. We’ve been going back and forth a bit on adapting one plan for another race (and I’m working on a 10k plan in my mind at least). But it got me... Continue Reading →
This week was a bit of a blur really looking back no run really stands out.

No matter how much you love your favourite workout it can get stale after a while after that it can start to suck a bit and you loose motivation. I just started training for a 1/2 marathon this month after a winter of only running and I’m not there yet but we all know it’s... Continue Reading →
We've had a crazy winter for surf this year, high tides have coincided with surges and storms. It's actually caused a lot of damage. We've been working on a big project in Peggy's Cove all winter were the surf is world famous for it's rugged beauty. This week I had to pull over and take... Continue Reading →
If you’re a runner you’ve heard about the 10% rule but you’ve probably noticed a lot of plans tell you to break it on the regular. In short it states that you shouldn’t increase your milage more than 10% of what you did last week. The idea is that if you push too hard too... Continue Reading →
