75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
The runner in me is tempted to say 'here we go again' where the biologist in me thinks 'we're just getting started here!' Most of the world is now very much entrenched in the second wave. It sucks and restrictions are going back into place. There have been numerous pandemics in the past and all... Continue Reading →
I never, ever thought that I would end up working in the trades like ever. But I have been for a while now and it’s actually pretty cool. I know that there is a pervasive dismissiveness among many people still that someone is “just a plumber.” We’re also treated like that a pretty good part... Continue Reading →
This will be the second in a two part series where next week we’ll talk about what you should expect the first time you train for an event. You might think that the order should be reversed but I’m weird like that. So stay tuned until next week to find out what the first time... Continue Reading →
We live in a place and do the kind of work that reveals to me the power of nature all the time. Even after all these years the power of a good storm can still leave me in awe. This week our rain day turned in to a non-sheduled storm. Not a huge one but... Continue Reading →

Tis' a weird time to be a runner isn’t it? It turns out it really is going to be a whole year without racing. Our favorite family reindeer run is canceled this year too. Sad face. Personally I took the summer to focus on other things like work and growing a new business which went... Continue Reading →
Things are always changing and staying the same. Recently I had to drive about 4 hours to pick up a load of siding which wasn’t great but if was for our house, so it stung a bit less. But the drive took me down a road that’s full of childhood memories for me. That road... Continue Reading →
This post has been on the list for quite a while now maybe 2 years or so but I wasn’t sure that it was interesting to anyone but me. Last week honey and I watched the social dilemma which I totally recommend by the way. He was really into it and it was sparking discussion... Continue Reading →
Even though this blog could be classified as health and wellness I try not to focus on dieting too often. Why is that? There are way more clicks in ‘losing belly fat’ rather than ‘taking up a sustainable fitness routine’. Well I’m not a nutritionist and focusing on the minutia of metabolism which I do...

Confession time... I talk too much in a lot of situations. That also might be the understatement of the century. I talk to fill a silence, I talk a problem past the point of a solution, I say things that should only be thoughts and I talk when I should be listening. Really it's a... Continue Reading →
