75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This post isn’t about me, my thoughts or my feelings but that’s still where we’re going to start today. I hang out in women’s Facebook running groups for some of my time. I like to share my insights there (and posts) and it gives me ideas for posts from time to time like this one... Continue Reading →
I’m ashamed to say I write training plans and beyond to ‘rest up’ and ‘have fresh legs’ which makes sense I’m not really sure why athletes taper at the end of a plan. I do know that it is widely considered necessary for the full marathon and beyond and debatable at the half. But other... Continue Reading →
Is there even one perfect runner out there? Probably not, but if there is one out there it isn’t me, that’s for sure! There is a lot more to being a perfect runner than just running and if your want to take your game to the next level you might have to make some changes... Continue Reading →
I live, and run mostly on picture perfect costal roads sometimes mere feet from the ocean. While it’s pretty it’s almost always freakin’ windy! By 10 am we usually deal with costal ‘breezes’ which are about 25km/hr on any given day, 40 km/hr isn’t rare either. If you’re working a training program you can count... Continue Reading →
There’s something romantic almost about being a runner, well the idea of it at least. When we think about runners we imagine them to be ridiculously fit, motivated, dedicated and energetic people. That can be true for some runners at least some of the time but not always. Lots of people want to start running... Continue Reading →

You might think a certain generation is like that but it probably has to do with a whole lot more than the medals they received as children. But… when I... Continue Reading →
I want to be fearless, always jump in with both feet and tackle anything the world puts in front of me. In other words I would love to be a bad a$$ bitch! I’m not though… Thoughts like “I can’t do that,” and “that’s too hard” have often held me back. Here’s the thing though... Continue Reading →
I’m not a super experienced triathlete but even still I have made some real mistakes and more “triathlon” mistakes. Some I made on purpose, a few because I didn’t have much of a choice and some were just plain old stupid. Personally I have found the culture of triathlon really intimidating and still do. There’s...

There is a trend emerging in the fitness community and that is replacing the idea of exercise with the idea of movement. Really Im not sure how I feel about that. On one hand moving regularly and being aware of how much you move can be eye opining and is a great place to start.... Continue Reading →
I think runners especially have been lied to as a group. The lie we’re going to talk about today is that once you rehab an injury it’s healed and gone forever. In my experience and the experience of runners I know that’s just not the case. More often than not the same old injury pops... Continue Reading →
