75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
My phone shot this picture accidentally while I was posing for today's workout selfie. You can see all the indents of the bikes and vehicles that passed in the last two days since we've had a driving rain in the middle of nowhere. Not a runfie tonight but maybe a bikie? It was actually a... Continue Reading →
Mornings aren't for running for every one, but even I'll admit it's a pretty great way to start the day. With warmer weather upon us (eventually here) the morning is the coolest part of the day even compared to the late evening. Training for a half at Bluenose this year meant lots of morning runs...

You might have gathered by now I'm not a winter person I'm 100% a summer person. All of the good things happen in summer; paddle boarding, race season, long days, beach walks, body surfing, wharfing, fresh mowed lawns, running with a breeze on your belly and mountain biking. I could go on but you get... Continue Reading →
Right now I'm tackling a new challenge fitness wise and that's my very first olympic triathlon. You might think I could never do that or that I must be and incredibly confident person in taking on new challenges. Actually it's quite the opposite. Doing new big things scares me just as much as the next... Continue Reading →
Summer work season is in full swing now and there is no more pretending it isn't happening. I don't think we've gotten home before the solar lights decided it was night time in at least two weeks but truthfully I'm already loosing track. But it doesn't always suck! In fact it rarely out and out... Continue Reading →
This picture was taken about 6 years ago on a trip to the seaside shanty in Chester. It was one of those impossibly perfect and calm days only made better by a nice date night. This weekend I'll finally tackle that half after months of training. It was only by taking time to reflect on... Continue Reading →
I actually took this sky picture accidentally while shooting my sister's maternity photos this past weekend. Hooray for happy accidents and it's way better than the one I took of my own feet. No matter how old or young you are there is still time to live out your dreams it just matter's how hard... Continue Reading →
Well we're finally done in Peggy's Cove... for now. So this week's Peggy's Cove picture is probably the last one for a while. I took this still from a video I shot on a day when the waves were absolutely dramatic at the tail end of the storm. It made me think how much the... Continue Reading →
In training and in life we're presented with obstacles. Sometimes there's a way around it other times there's no choice to push straight through but often those obstacles turn out to be opportunities when looking back on them. Maybe it forced you to make a positive change (like getting 7 stitches) or forced you to... 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 →
