75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
If you read the about me portion of this blog you’ll notice a blurb about being a lady of a certain age no matter your marital status. Things have certainly changed for me since my early 20’s and that’s what getwifed is all about. One of those thing that starts to be a concern when... Continue Reading →
It’s starting… except that it hasn’t really after last year's failure. This post is going to follow a lot like those half marathon updates you’ve been reading but for this week it’s what I’m doing or not doing to get prepared and a little bit on my training strategy. You’ll notice next week I’m not... Continue Reading →
This isn’t so much my race recap as it is my trainee’s though I was in fact there and I did get a medal for it. Truthfully when I heard about the give’r twice option to add the 5k to a race I was going to do on Sunday anyway I registered for both and... Continue Reading →
Summer work season is in full swing now and there is no more pretending it isn't happening. I don't think we've gotten home before the solar lights decided it was night time in at least two weeks but truthfully I'm already loosing track. But it doesn't always suck! In fact it rarely out and out... Continue Reading →
Ohh Bluenose how do I love you and to think it took me so long to find you! Officially I’ve done Bluenose three (or 4 if you count this year’s 5k separately) times now. This year I opted for the 5k and the half marathon option for the 15 year anniversary. Mostly I run cheaper,... Continue Reading →
I’m writing this one with an eye one the time to head out the door for the Lifemark 5k at Bluenose weekend! Zero more sleeps!!!! This week included exactly two runs which all of a sudden wasn’t nearly enough. That’s because the weather was amazing and work was really long and a bit stressful. We’ve... Continue Reading →
Training for much more that a 10k can consume your life in a pretty big way. Even a 10k can really eat into your free time in a otherwise busy life for a couple of weeks. I’ve been training for a half marathon for since February and building my base for training before that. But... Continue Reading →
This picture was taken about 6 years ago on a trip to the seaside shanty in Chester. It was one of those impossibly perfect and calm days only made better by a nice date night. This weekend I'll finally tackle that half after months of training. It was only by taking time to reflect on... Continue Reading →
This year we spent A LOT of time in Peggy’s Cove on a BIG commercial job. It was all hush, hush for the time being but they’re open now and boy did I produce a lot of barn board! Specifically 1200 linear feet of 10” wide boards or 1000 sq ft! While about 1/2 of... Continue Reading →
Oh this week, 26 km four runs no problem right? Circle back to my first update when I decided to do a half at Bluenose and I had always said it’s too early to do a 1/2 in the year, I can’t since peak training is as my busiest part of the year and I... Continue Reading →
