Google ‘marathoner’s feet’, go ahead, I’ll wait. Gross right? Guess what I’m an endurance runner and I don’t have feet like that at all! I have had a few issues over the years, not that many but I did have a big toe nail turn black and fall off once. The key with foot issues... Continue Reading →
This week was a really different week for me. Honey was away for most of it as he was the week before too. We spend a lot of time together like most couples and then extra work time together too. It’s a lot, sometimes a lot, a lot. I joke, mostly but since I moved... Continue Reading →
If I’m left unsupervised and without clear instruction for any length of time I will find and sign up for a race. That’s exactly what happened this past Thursday. I was left unattended with no clear plan and so I was scrolling the social medias, and shampooing the very light upholstery in my grown-up-lady car.... Continue Reading →
Running seems like a great, sometimes pretty way to spend your time. Cute outfits, stunning views and all the grace of a gazelle right? Sure maybe sometimes for some people but there are some pretty yucky things we encounter along the way. Since lots of you are out there pounding the pavement and deep into... Continue Reading →

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 →
