75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
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 →
I did my first 1/2 marathon with Sole Sisters the inaugural year in 2016 and it was pretty great. But I wasn’t in a big rush to go back there and run it again at least by myself. Don’t think for a second it’s not a great place to run alone because you won’t feel... Continue Reading →

I’ve been kinda vague about this one so far not because I’m being dramatic or building suspense or anything but because I really didn’t have it figured out yet. I mostly do now, sorta kinda a little bit at least. It’s one of my first posts on here was about how to plan a race... Continue Reading →
Putting it out there right off the bat, I haven’t done every distance out there. Doesn’t matter because this isn’t that serious a conversation. That said the 10k distance is clearly superior than any other distance you could possibly choose to run. Which is to say in a lot of ways the 10k is my... Continue Reading →
For a long, long time I was not an injured runner. Sure I had twinges, tweaks and flares along the way but I never really dealt with a true injury until 2016. Then when it hit it was serious and it hit hard! Three seasons have come and gone since then and I think that... Continue Reading →

Here’s the thing there is emerging science that reveals that people who have lost a lot of body weight (aka those that are weight reduced)... Continue Reading →
