75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
One of the great things about running is that no one says you have to stay exactly on the road. You can wander a bit around the edges and run through some really beautiful scenery just a few steps from where you are 'supposed' to be. I took this picture last spring in a local... Continue Reading →
My mom used to say a lot of things, like everybody's mom did. Some of them turned out to be pearls, some not so much. Some I carry with me others I was all "Nah, that doesn't apply." One thing she said a lot was that every could has a silver lining, but she took... Continue Reading →
The snow once again came to my little part of Canada again this week. Not as much in the picture, this was last year, but it's here! That means checking the forecast obsessively for reasons other than running. Also the road conditions and plow tracker, how cool is that by the way? Winter like dentist... Continue Reading →
Race season is pretty much over for another year, sad face 😦 But dress like an elf holiday fun run season is just around the corner! I'm doing my best to get excited about winter over here but I'm sure there's lots of other people that are thrilled to see it coming. A new (to... Continue Reading →
Last post was all about reflecting on the summer that was. This picture was pretty much the high point in my summer fitness wise and it took me almost 2 decades to do it. What made it so cool, nothing really there's this local river I've always wanted to swim in and I biked there... Continue Reading →

Runners, athletes and especially endurance athletes hear it all the time. "I could NEVER do that." It seems though as much as you reassure them that they could no one ever believes you. At least once or twice a year I line up and do something that was in fact truly impossible for me just... Continue Reading →
Maybe you're done for the season, good for you and sorry about the FOMO you're currently experiencing BTW. I'm not quite done yet, in fact it's peak week and it's getting hard ya'll. But on race day I'll be stoked I did all this hard training. This week I even picked up my super cute... Continue Reading →
It's happening again this year you guys, people are saying fall and even winter are coming. The rational part of me gets that well it is technically true but the immature tries to live in the moment part is all amped up about it. I love summer and truthfully I love that our summers are...

I took this photo a few weeks ago when I was too late getting out to take a good one. In the end I didn't even post my run that night. It's just a quick shot while I was still running. It was a really hot Sunday night and the beach was still really packed... Continue Reading →
