75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Not all of us have a life where we can go on one extravagant vacation after the next or even year after year. Some of us don't really want to. But I have a secret, you can incorporate certain things into your life on the regular and spend more than 7 days a year on... Continue Reading →
I can say that because I have literally been that girl. Actually I kind of still am that girl as in I want ticks no where near me, thankyouverymuch! I sill would rather wear leggings and be too warm on my bike than get a tick but tick check time, well that’s tonnes of fun.... Continue Reading →
Putting it out there right off the bat, I haven’t done every distance out there. Doesn’t matter because this isn’t that serious a conversation. That said the 10k distance is clearly superior than any other distance you could possibly choose to run. Which is to say in a lot of ways the 10k is my... Continue Reading →
Lot's of us are in training for something right now. Some of you are also training for a distance first too. That can be scary right? This year I'm not headed into dedicated training season until June. You might be thinking a lot about crossing the line on the big day, that's normal but foolhardy.... Continue Reading →
For a long, long time I was not an injured runner. Sure I had twinges, tweaks and flares along the way but I never really dealt with a true injury until 2016. Then when it hit it was serious and it hit hard! Three seasons have come and gone since then and I think that... Continue Reading →

Want to know a fun fact about me and my racing? Well maybe not that fun but still a fact, almost every long, big, hard race I've done I've thought at least once about giving up. At my first half marathon the impending heavy rainfall warning (and self doubt) I actually asked a race official... Continue Reading →
I like documentaries a lot, a lot a lot. I don’t watch as many as I would like to these days partially due to life and partly because they tend to send honey right off to sleep but I digress. By far and away my favorite category is food documentaries. I’m not sure exactly why... Continue Reading →
What to take and what to leave behind? If you’re a what if sort of person you might consider roll behind luggage or a bike trailer. Others who like to keep it simple might end up skipping something thinking, "when will I ever need that"? But its not that simple is it? Some longer workouts... Continue Reading →
I have a favorite running route it takes me by 2 beaches over 10 k almost exactly and I don't have to repeat a single meter of road. But it's a route I don't get to that often. When I'm training it's pretty much only good for 10k non-speed work runs since it's hilly and... Continue Reading →
