75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I haven’t trained for a new distance since 2018 and even though I previously wrote a post entitled ‘why I’ll probably never run a marathon,’ I’m doing it! So whoever had age 38 in the family pool your odds are looking pretty good right about now. Of course anything can happen between now and October,... Continue Reading →
There’s a new class of races out there and more and more ‘brands’ popping up every year. They are in fact j as much fun as they look and might just be a great way to get back to racing. Since people usually start in small waves rather than as one great big group so... Continue Reading →
Unfortunately even if we take our training super seriously we still have to live our lives and that means sometimes we do things that make us hurt ourselves. That’s the boat I’m in at the moment. I’m not really sure how it happened but it has again. I’d say once a year or so I... Continue Reading →

For this one everyone’s definition of endurance will be different. For me this would include a half but someone else could run that with no extra steps. For obvious reasons virtual races really took off over the last year and for some they will be here to stay. For this one we are talking about... Continue Reading →
Alright this isn’t serious but then it kinda is. I’m not someone you look at and think ‘wow I bet you she’s really strong’ quite the opposite really. For a long, long time I sort of lived up to that stereotype too. There’s no getting around the fact that I’m tall and skinny, lanky, wiry... Continue Reading →
SPRING, summer and FALL are the seasons made for running and outdoor training in general. As such we’re all coming up on our busiest running months of the year. Yeah!!! At least hopefully we are! It’s a good idea no matter what your plans are to prepare in advance both so that you will be... Continue Reading →
Full disclaimer that title isn’t exactly true, I’m an occasional triathlete at best. But it really does accurately convey the message of the day.
