75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
It's an old saying but it's true and that's coming from a designated worrier! I do worry a lot less these days and over a much shorter time when I do. I think worrying is really a combination of worse case thinking and wasting valuable mental energy. That awful combination isn't good for anyone's mental... Continue Reading →
Here we are going into season 3 of covid strong and 'celebrating' our second pandemic holiday season. Our little province has done well through most of the time but a poorly thought out self congratulatory university event has us pulling numbers that are on par with the worst numbers nationally since this has all begun....

Best Christmas present ever! I wanted to give you all a bit of a life update but it's not enough for a full post and it's not all that dramatic. I'll probably still make it longer than it needs to be though. I wrote a little about this sort of thing, celebrating calm times, a... Continue Reading →
We're about to head into the busiest time of the year, the one where our time, money and attention is pulled in the most directions. Some people love it, others hate it, I'm mostly in the love it camp but I think that's because I put limits on it. First and foremost we have to... Continue Reading →

Ahhhh.... Marathon training is done, the days are getting shorter and we're home earlier. I'm back to teaching a couple of evenings a week and back to working on my own without anyone else to keep busy. So things are getting back to normal around here and while I'm still a little busy it's more... Continue Reading →
This one is straight up about training and accomplishment. Training is a lot of great things it's me time, self-care and it can be fun. At least when it starts it is usually something you love to do anyway like running, lifting, riding your bike or swimming. But... as time goes on it can get... Continue Reading →
Here's what I've noticed... the times I've moved forward the most in my life I've been forced. That's true in big ways and small ways. It can sometimes come out of hard or difficult times but that's not always the case. In a couple of ways that's happening for me now. Hell that's the reason... Continue Reading →
