75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I'm not messing around here. You can take exercise too far and it can become unhealthy. How far is too far, thankfully pretty far. Let's see what the science says and how you know it might be time to scale back. Let's delve deep into that line between we all so it and too much.... Continue Reading →
Do I really truly think this? YES!!! Have I thought about, tried or ruled out ever possible alternative, No. Am I biased, yes, but I'm alright with that and it's still pretty great! It burns a tremendous number of calories, is a full body workout, fun, provides an adrenaline rush (if you're doing it right),... Continue Reading →
Most of all I learned that I could do it! And If I can you probably can too! It was sort of 10 years in the making and pretty darn close to a life changing experience. I learned A LOT in the process about myself, running, training and how I want to be in the... Continue Reading →
This turned out to be a trail run, did not know that, a trail run in the cold and rain actually. So I have my outdoorsy points for the week nailed down! It was a lot of fun and I ran without music or pacing so it is some good unintentional triathlon training. A bit... Continue Reading →
Three sports, a fancy bike, special shoes, wetsuit and a triathlon suit, adds up right? Well it doesn't have too.

Can any one person be knowledgeable about all aspects of health and fitness even if that is their full time job? I wanted to sit down and get real about the things I truthfully judge without enough information, well most of these fall into that category anyway. I'm going to tell you honestly why I...

This was my second time officially running in bluenose marathon weekend festivities. I did the 10 k last year, in a lot of pain but got a PR none the less, to be fair I hadn't run many 10k's. One time I sort of ran a bit of the 5k as a bandit in a... Continue Reading →
This isn't a tongue in cheek funny post, not run 26.2 miles in a row, not run up the same hill over and over, this is literally about stupid things that runners do. I've done some of it other stuff I would never do, unfortunately some of it I might do again. If you're doing this... Continue Reading →
Oh the long run. Like a regular run only nerve wracking, fear inducing and generally anxiety producing. Well this post will get you started on finding your long run groove. I probably watched it and don't remember is but its what comes to mind when you think of the movie 'how Stella got her groove... Continue Reading →
