I know that we all have these shiny new plans for new year new you, but chances are no matter what you decided to change this year it's not going to be a straight line. I like to look at resolutions as a year long commitment to change. Last year one my my new years... Continue Reading →
Usually I take a picture and that inspires me to get thinking about an idea for weekend motivation. This time though it went backwards I took the picture to suit the idea. I've always been a firm believer that with the exception of a few bad apples, so rare you're not likely to run into... Continue Reading →
One thing I hear so often from people is essentially that they have so many responsibilities to others there is nothing left for themselves. No one ever comes right out and says that exactly but rather talks around the idea. More often they start listing all the activities their kids have in a week, plus... Continue Reading →

Most of those people sit there and say I could never do that. I'm sorry but that's just plain stupid. The very fact that someone else did it... Continue Reading →
I took this picture last week at a customer's house near Peggy's Cove. We were waiting for the homeowner and taking a look at the shore when we realized that those huge boulders were moving in storms. It's crazy just how powerful mother nature can be. Even though we were there when it was calm... Continue Reading →
This past weekend I got back on my old heavy mountain bike for the first time since well early June. And it sort of hurt but I loved it. There are certain aspects of training or working out in general that you might not like such as hills, intervals, balance poses and I've heard terrible... Continue Reading →
Race season and therefore training season is probably over for you for another year. Sad face yes, but next year isn't that far off. Sometimes training can make us loose sight of why we fell in love with out sport in the first place. Marathon training anyone? So as another race season draws to a... Continue Reading →
