75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This week just blew by. Honestly, I barely remember it as I’m going back picking out the pictures I was thinking ‘was that even this week’. This week in July is a busy week every year because not only is it my birthday it’s my little sister’s too. That fact led to us considering it... Continue Reading →
This week was one where a few things popped up to make running a little harder. We had a couple of rain days and for no good reason at all that always seems to make it a little harder to make it out the door. There was a lot of work stuff that had to... Continue Reading →
In theory you hear from me three times a week 4 if I’m currently training for something. That’s a lot really. We have a fitness related post every Wednesday and Sunday except every second Wednesday (like today) it’s about some other random thing. Fridays you get a weekend motivation post and in training season a... Continue Reading →
New Year's resolutions get a bad wrap but as long as you set specific and achievable goals then I think they can have a place in everyone's life. I’m a big believer in resolutions because I've done some pretty life-changing stuff at this time of year. 2020 should have changed your perspective on things. If... Continue Reading →

The year is coming to an end and so is the budget for Christmas gifts. If you’re like most of us you might have once again left yourself off the list, but it’s not too late! There are lots of things we can give to ourselves with that limited (see no) budget that’s leftover. There... Continue Reading →
Driving a pickup most of the time is really no different than any other car. Let’s face it pick ups are really no longer used just by trades people for actual work. They are one of the most popular choices as a family car with king cabs and up to 6 seats. Yes they are... Continue Reading →
This post has been on the list for quite a while now maybe 2 years or so but I wasn’t sure that it was interesting to anyone but me. Last week honey and I watched the social dilemma which I totally recommend by the way. He was really into it and it was sparking discussion... Continue Reading →
We’ve all heard about it, many of us have seen it happen on race day and we might have even experienced it at one point. Whether you call it boinking, tapping out or hitting the wall it’s something most athletes are aware of. I feel like it has happened to me years ago on the... Continue Reading →
I’m ashamed to say I write training plans and beyond to ‘rest up’ and ‘have fresh legs’ which makes sense I’m not really sure why athletes taper at the end of a plan. I do know that it is widely considered necessary for the full marathon and beyond and debatable at the half. But other... Continue Reading →
