75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Let’s start off here by saying none of these pieces of advice are bad or wrong. Not in the least but they aren’t the best advice for every runner out there all of the time. I was thinking about this the other day on my long run as I was walking a very sharp turn... Continue Reading →
Yeah, I do mean this to work on a few different levels. Literally the road you're on and the life road that you're on. But let's talk about literal roads today. I'm pretty lucky to live in a place where it's hard to pick a bad road for running, there are stunning vistas like this... Continue Reading →
In Canada we complain about the weather a lot, like a lot a lot! Truth be told it’s not really that bad but it is super unpredictable. That is until our spring on the East coast this year, there basically wasn’t one. Which means it was cold and wet, wet and snowy up until pretty... Continue Reading →
I actually really thought about not doing a race recap for this one and just running the race, but where’s the fun in that? I’ve been ‘racing’ with the older folks the last couple of weekends. But also running lots of hills a bit faster than in previous years in between to try to break... Continue Reading →
Maybe reality TV or social media is to blame but it feels like we all have a bit more low key jealousy in our lives these days. We want her house, his car, that body and to be that social every weekend. But that's not really what this is about and everyone's grandma was quick... Continue Reading →

I’m noticing a trend in the running/fitness community and *cough* my life and that is how runners go on to become triathletes only to give it all up and run relatively slow on trails for a really long time. But I also get why this happens both in terms of the body and the vibe... Continue Reading →
Run wild, run free. Great words to live by but a little unrealistic right? At least I think so. You'll see lots of motivational messages out there with that sort of message on them. As nice as that sounds most of us just can't live our lives that way. Things like mortgages, those kids you... Continue Reading →
This year I did the Bluenose 10k, my regular Bluenose race with my stepdad. It looked like this was going to be my volunteer year but next year, I mean it. For a while it looked like I might not participate at all and that made me unexpectedly sad. I think I can say now... Continue Reading →
No one want to do it and even though it’s sounds hard it’s so much more terrible than it sounds. The thing is if you’re half ass-ing a plan and consumed by guilt and doubt that’s pretty terrible too. In general if you do have to ditch think of it as putting off rather than... Continue Reading →
