75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Guess what I’ve been saying this year with a lot of dramatic emphasis? “I can’t wait for bikini season this year!” Then I went upstairs and put one on in March just to make my point. Am I a narcissistic, self-involved ass-hole? Maybe, but I really don’t think so. Lots of people are motivated to... Continue Reading →
I run on the road for the most part for a few good reasons and because it's pretty beautiful here too, plus just a little easier. But every time I leave it and head out on the trails it's a great experience too. I'm planning on doing a fair amount of triathlon training on my... Continue Reading →
For almost the whole of the past year we've been working in Peggy's Cove, which is admittedly a bit of a tourist trap. 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 →

Needless to say I find it hard to get motivated for this but seeing the view at the bottom of the driveway... Continue Reading →
This picture took me three years to take lots of trying for just missed it! Taking a picture of lightning was most definitely on my bucket list! Finally Mother Nature obliged on my birthday two years ago. If it's been a while since you ran your fastest mile, your longest bike ride or your heaviest... Continue Reading →
I took this picture many years ago on one of my first walks with my brand new camera (at the time). Since then the shutter has closed over 17 000 times but not enough recently. I love the contrast of the still water upstream and the movement below. You have those two options this weekend... Continue Reading →
I decided to put this infographic together to highlight the dichotomy between living in a healthy fit body vs. an unhealthy one. I worry about certain people I love a lot and I've lost some too because of unhealthy choices. When I spend time thinking about this it really does hit me as an either... Continue Reading →
Often we feel pulled in so many different directions by so many things all at the same time. But it's actually a good idea to make time for yourself. When you recharge your own batteries you have more energy, positivity and generally more to give to all of those other things. So today get out... Continue Reading →
