75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I'm lucky to live on the ocean both when I was little and now. For a few years when I didn't I went to visit it often. It was only a 15 minute drive outside the little town I went to university. Driving by the coast was the perfect way to clear my head. If... Continue Reading →
Race season and therefore training season is probably over for you for another year. Sad face yes, but next year isn't that far off. Sometimes training can make us loose sight of why we fell in love with out sport in the first place. Marathon training anyone? So as another race season draws to a... Continue Reading →
As runners, lifters or cyclists we're always pushing our boundaries seemingly just for the next race distance, weight class or some other arbitrary reason. People think we're nuts because all those hours spent training, early nights and missed parties do add up. Sure there is no real reason for most people to be able to... Continue Reading →
It's all to easy to just let another weekend slide by. Maybe you'll binge on netflix, clean the house or try in vain to catch up on the errands. Most of us could also stand to do more for our health too. Take an hour or even half an hour out of your weekend over... Continue Reading →

While you're out there taking the wide view on your life remember to not only look at the obstacles in front of you but the ones behind you that you've already overcome. You got past those and you'll 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 →
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 →
