75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
For some friends and acquaintances today was not such a great day and so we spent the day helping out and fishing lots of fishing. I know we've all had those days where the main thing keeping us going is the thought that this day must end eventually. Hell I have one every second month.... Continue Reading →
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.

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 →
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 →
