75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I switched to Asics Running shoes pretty close to the beginning of 2018 and I’ve been through all the stages. Afraid feeling naked and alone, loving them and buying some ‘extra’ pairs, waking up to the realities that it’s just a sneaker and finally replacement. Which means I’ve been busy goggling things like “Asics signs... Continue Reading →
The 10k could it be the core of a runner’s options? I think it’s my favourite distance to run in a race and I know a few other lifetime runner types that agree with me. My yoga teacher, a local plumber and the guy that works at the building supply store all love the 10k... Continue Reading →

The perfect mix of endurance, muscle building, adrenaline and adventure all in one sport. But recently I dusted off and tuned up... Continue Reading →
If I could design my perfect life I’d spend a lot more of it on my mountain bike but since I don't do much extreme stuff and like all my bones in one piece I won’t be making a living from that any time soon. Everyone knows, okay all bikers know, that roadies and mountain... Continue Reading →
Yuck gross, I know but periods and exercise are a place you can get yourself into some real lasting trouble. You might have heard that women who exercise a lot loose their periods and maybe even that they are infertile. While neither of these are necessarily true but they actually can be and worse, scary...

This is long and late but so much happened and I wanted to get it right because it was a big, big deal for me! So this is going to be a long one because well a lot happened. Lots of good things and some not so great things. The night before we left for... Continue Reading →
