75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
What are the chances that everyone in your life is a lifter, runner, triathlete or cyclist? Not that high! Even if you get that lucky a lot of this is still going to apply to you, sorry. I can’t be the only one feeling guilty about my training out there from time to time at... Continue Reading →
Have you lost track of my training because I have. One would have to say that peak week pretty much didn’t happen but then again it sort of did… Anyway here’s a quick recap of getting here. I was on track until week 8 when I got married. Previous to that I was extending my... Continue Reading →
One thing and then right back to running, I swear. I had no idea that after 16 years together the act of getting married in a simple, low-key ceremony would make us feel or act differently. But here we are a bit more than a week out we’re still all kissy-faced and staring into each... Continue Reading →

I have to admit that I feel a whole lot lighter giving myself a break on Wednesday posts for the next month. That said I didn’t exactly get to training any sooner in the week. Friday: We’ve been working far from home this week and so we’ve been putting in long days to make the... Continue Reading →
It’s pretty simple really just make sure to wake up facing directly east every single morning, drink a matcha and kale smoothie twice a day and dine primarily on fresh, homemade sushi. Nah … it’s way easier than that. For a long, long, long time I ran but I low key hated it. I liked... Continue Reading →
Week 4 was when it got hard this time. We’ve been busy, It’s been very hot sometimes too hot to run even for me and I’ve had other stuff on my mind too. Good stuff, but all those things combined makes for a hard place to train in. Plus I think that I’m now in... Continue Reading →
