75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This could also be called where my head is at right now. Here’s the thing though now I’ve been here many times before. I want this to be generally helpful to everyone but I will be using my experiences as guide posts along the way. Basically it outlines a process of deciding what direction to... 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 →
Sleep is something I struggle with and lately it’s been a tad worse than usual. I never really know why but it tends to ebb and flow with time. As I’m writing this post we’re getting our first winter wind storm (thankfully it’s rain) but it’s not looking good for tonight either! One thing athletes... Continue Reading →
One thing I've learned in the last decade is that there is no one road to success. Once you get there the destination can be vastly different from person to person. That might also change within your lifetime. When we think of someone who is classically successful as having a nice office job to go... Continue Reading →
Winter is coming, dare I tempt fate with the fact that it’s not here yet though? Which means winter running is just around the corner.

This year the half at Bluenose was actually my bonus post training season race. Even though that sounds like a humble brag it’s not, it’s just been a crazy running year. My mom has been sorta kinda toying with the idea of a half for a while now and then you know, Covid happened. Lucky... Continue Reading →
I'm not a superstitious person as a rule. If the shortest route is under a ladder I'm taking it, a black cat is just that and I'm a regular crack stepper. One thing I do though is wish on things, blowing out candles or 11:11 or 12:34 on the clock merits a wish. Because why... Continue Reading →
I’m not saying it’s perfect and I’m sure the fact I work in that field in recent/’more woke’ years makes a difference but construction people have been overall less sexist than any other field I’ve worked in. Of course this is just my experience and others might have a totally different one. There are certain... Continue Reading →
Forward: A few years ago my mom ran her first fun run on a whim and it went totally okay, mostly. After that she didn’t have the running bug though. I still managed to twist her arm into a couple more 5k’s, and then she did. Soon after that I invited her to do a... Continue Reading →
We’re gettin' all sorts of spicy up in here this week! We’re often told to ‘let it go, be polite, that life is too short and never to burn a bridge along the way.’ Is that always true though? Nothing dramatic at all is going on in my life at the moment but I did... Continue Reading →
