Even when we say that we’re just hoping to finish strong most runners do have a (potentially super secret) time goal in mind. For some races though it’s all about that one time goal like when you’re looking to Boston Qualify. It is only natural to have a goal in mind after spending literally months... Continue Reading →
If you’ve been hanging around here for very long you already know that I am mostly a runner and occasional triathlete. So that’s what I’m talking about for me when I talk about training. But for you that could be lifting, cycling, dancing or anything else you do to move your body. When we talk... Continue Reading →
To be honest there really isn’t a wrong time to register for a race but is there a perfect time? I would say yes there is. Of course it depends what race and what year you’re talking about and it could even vary from person to person. How can something so simple also be so... Continue Reading →
In a lot of ways 2021 was a lot like 2020 again around here. But there was one big and important difference. In 2021 we already had one pandemic year interrupted so we kinda knew what was coming in 2021. 2020 turned out not to be a running year for me but it still taught... Continue Reading →
It’s that time of year where lots of people are starting a new exercise routine and regular exercisers (especially those that exercise outdoors) might find it harder to stick to their routines.

It can be a fine line ya’ll. I wish the human body came with some sort of light or alarm to let you know but alas evolution hasn’t provided us with a sure fire way to tell just yet. Running especially and working out generally, can lead to all sorts of pains and aches but... Continue Reading →
This could also be called where my head is at right now. Here’s the thing though now I’ve been here many times before. I want this to be generally helpful to everyone but I will be using my experiences as guide posts along the way. Basically it outlines a process of deciding what direction to... Continue Reading →
Winter is coming, dare I tempt fate with the fact that it’s not here yet though? Which means winter running is just around the corner. Here’s the thing winter runs are still great runs they are just a little less great than other times of year. You might find that you are slower in the... Continue Reading →
This year the half at Bluenose was actually my bonus post training season race. Even though that sounds like a humble brag it’s not, it’s just been a crazy running year. My mom has been sorta kinda toying with the idea of a half for a while now and then you know, Covid happened. Lucky... Continue Reading →
Forward: A few years ago my mom ran her first fun run on a whim and it went totally okay, mostly. After that she didn’t have the running bug though. I still managed to twist her arm into a couple more 5k’s, and then she did. Soon after that I invited her to do a... Continue Reading →
