75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
For a long time I ran but I didn't usually love it. The odd time it was alright but mostly it was just really a really efficient way to keep fit. Then I started running further and I fell in love. Maybe it was more complicated than that or maybe it wasn't. At some point... Continue Reading →
I took this picture during my last half this September at Maritime Race Weekend which was just named the best race in Canada! Way to go, you definitely deserve that golden sneaker award! It's a great picture but it just didn't make the cut for that race recap. It's exactly the picture that you would... Continue Reading →
Some of you keeners may have picked up on the fact that I haven't been running lately. Since September My left foot/ankle has been acting weird.

Confession time, I'm usually the one muttering to myself, I am in fact one of those. I even find myself doing it in public, even when I'm totally by myself.

It's getting colder here and I have to accept that for the 36th time in a row, as far as I know, winter is once again coming. Not pleased but it's happening. The days are getting so much shorter, the nights frosty and it's happening again. This year I'm trying to put a different spin... Continue Reading →
Outside factors. Two words and so, so much meaning! Whether you're trying to lose weight, break a long standing personal record or just live to the end of the race and finish all that really matters is that you make yourself proud. Period. No one else matters! Sometimes you can feel pressure from outside forces... Continue Reading →
Whether you run, lift, cycle or swim, fast, far or slow someday you won't be able to perform at the level you are now. Sorry to bring it up but you probably already knew that right? It doesn't matter if you are 25 and headed to the olympics or 70 and the fast kid in... Continue Reading →
During a given training cycle things can get hard. You might even be expecting it to get tough in certain ways. The ways it actually gets hard though there is no shortage of ways that might spring up and surprise you. Last summer I re-did a training plan for a long race and I once... Continue Reading →
