It's no secret that I love the ocean and I feel lucky every day to live near it! You would think that at some point it might get old but nothing is further from the truth. Pretty much every single run I go for involves the sea but getting to go on the regular in... Continue Reading →
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 →
When you think about taking on a challenge weeks like this week are the ones that keeps you from doing it. It’s also what makes you sound crazy when you tell others about what you’re doing! I broke a trainee, They messed with the schedule (which turned out to be a good thing), it serious... 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 →

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.

We've had a crazy winter for surf this year, high tides have coincided with surges and storms. It's actually caused a lot of damage. We've been working on a big project in Peggy's Cove all winter were the surf is world famous for it's rugged beauty. This week I had to pull over and take... Continue Reading →
This week wasn't especially busy at work I mostly drove around for specially stuff but we did work every single day and my tutoring load was pretty typical but it was starched out over more evenings. I’m also writing and article for Sad Runner about hacking your sleep but I’m well ahead here so no... Continue Reading →
I'm not a morning exerciser but starting 1/2 marathon training means up and out the door, first thing at the crack of dawn. Well after coffee first thing at the crack of dawn. Needless to say I find it hard to get motivated for this but seeing the view at the bottom of the driveway... Continue Reading →
