75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I live in a tourist town at least in the summer months. I live here, work here and play here all year round. But we are not the most touristy of tourist destinations. Frankly I don’t know how ya’ll that live there do it! Most people that live here probably don’t have the same list... Continue Reading →
Do you remember when you were little and your parents would go nuts congratulating you if you did well in something? Things like getting 10 out of 10 on a spelling test, actually hitting the ball in little league or cleaning your room without being asked (too much) were met with ongoing compliments and way...

I live, and run mostly on picture perfect costal roads sometimes mere feet from the ocean. While it’s pretty it’s almost always freakin’ windy! By 10 am we usually deal with costal ‘breezes’ which are about 25km/hr on any given day, 40 km/hr isn’t rare either. If you’re working a training program you can count... Continue Reading →
Someone messed up here this week and so ya’ll are getting some every second Wednesday content on a Sunday. Sorry! Even though the only reliable fun thing to do in 2020 so far is track packages here is why you might not want to ‘add to cart’ quite so often. I am not zero waste... Continue Reading →
There is a lot of mythology connected to rainbows. It could be leprechauns or even a pot of gold. For me it's pretty much just reflection and refraction but that doesn't mean they aren't pretty cool to look at! I think it's almost impossible to look at a rainbow and not be just a little...

There’s something romantic almost about being a runner, well the idea of it at least. When we think about runners we imagine them to be ridiculously fit, motivated, dedicated and energetic people. That can be true for some runners at least some of the time but not always. Lots of people want to start running... Continue Reading →
Lots of opinion pieces have been written with the thesis that giving a medal to everyone is the genesis of a generation of entitled snowflakes. You might think a certain generation is like that but it probably has to do with a whole lot more than the medals they received as children. But… when I... Continue Reading →
That's kind of a weird motivational quote isn't it. Hold on to your pants its going to get a WHOLE lot weirder! That's a picture of my very favorite tree or shrub flower. It's called an ornamental dogwood and I can't have one. But that's not really where we're going here. They are stunning, easy... Continue Reading →
I want to be fearless, always jump in with both feet and tackle anything the world puts in front of me. In other words I would love to be a bad a$$ bitch! I’m not though… Thoughts like “I can’t do that,” and “that’s too hard” have often held me back. Here’s the thing though... Continue Reading →
I’m not a super experienced triathlete but even still I have made some real mistakes and more “triathlon” mistakes. Some I made on purpose, a few because I didn’t have much of a choice and some were just plain old stupid. Personally I have found the culture of triathlon really intimidating and still do. There’s...
