75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I’ve literally been giddy excited to write this post seeing it coming up in the schedule and now it’s here! I plan for this to be sort of funny, sort of informative and defiantly enlightening for both groups. Then it snowed so it got put off a few weeks, spoiler alert it's snowing again. Where...

One cool thing about running, cycling, being outdoors and maybe working out in general is that it gives you the opportunity to learn these tiny little lessons that can have such a big impact in your wider life. Last week I got to go on an amazingly beautiful Peggy's Cove and took lots of amazing... Continue Reading →
Buying your first home is a dream for many and we’ve all heard the cliches about first time buyers but there’s a lot more under the surface. I have experience as a first time buyer, as a construction related person and as a condo president for a building of first time buyers. This group gets... Continue Reading →
I say halfway there in a 12 week plan because that last week is tapering and.. it’s super motivating! This week chugged along pretty nicely, a few days off for easter and some partially decent weather helped. But looking at next week’s schedule it’s about to get real so I really enjoyed this last week... Continue Reading →

Check out this post for other easter fin ideas, lots are easy if you find yourself desperate. My mom started it as a Polish... Continue Reading →

We haven't made it as far as the lighthouse although we're there with visitors pretty dang often. At least 10 times I've had my running gear in the car but I've always... Continue Reading →

We’ve been going back and forth a bit on adapting one plan for another race (and I’m working on a 10k plan in my mind at least). But it got me... Continue Reading →
This week was a bit of a blur really looking back no run really stands out. This week we were cursed with Sheila's Brush, a Newfoundland term for a later winter’s storm on the heels of St. Patrick’s day. Really over the last decade or so with temperatures getting warmer winter is over come March... Continue Reading →
I’ve made no secret about it I’m not a fan of diets, like at all, but what does the scientific literature say about them? I’m not going to go on about my feelings again but check out this post on how to tell if you’re on a diet that’s doomed to fail and how little... Continue Reading →
I took this picture last week at the tail end of a storm. It's just a picture of our beach with some heavy surf at low tide. Notice the big container ship that pulled into the bay to escape the storm. A lot of people don't know but the sand on a beach comes and... Continue Reading →
