75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Putting it out there right off the bat, I haven’t done every distance out there. Doesn’t matter because this isn’t that serious a conversation. That said the 10k distance is clearly superior than any other distance you could possibly choose to run. Which is to say in a lot of ways the 10k is my... Continue Reading →
I’m not a member of one of those super serious or even semi-serious invite only running clubs in the city. I’d like to think I have my own where we focus on finishing over pace, love over agony and fun over everything else and anyone can join! The reason I put that out there is... Continue Reading →
I’m kinda excited to write this one because this year I can compare what I actually did to what I said I was going to do, hint it’s more. I think it’s pretty important to plan a race season so you don’t blow your budget (fail), stay injury free (check) and actually accomplish your main... Continue Reading →
This was the second year I participated in this run and the second year it was held, but weirdly the first time I did it alone. That wasn’t for lack of trying though. It’s funny last year this was the first run I had ever done with someone else and this year I was (sort... Continue Reading →
Now at least where I live it’s not exactly race season but things live on the internet forever. Maybe you’re prepping for an upcoming race in the southern hemisphere, good for you but we all love some new, practical and realistic race day tips. I would love to be the super-organized, spreadsheet making, calm as... Continue Reading →
It's true that there is no magic formula do this then that and bang boom you’ll go faster then ever before. Your average runner has about seven years of potential for getting faster before they top out speed wise but the thing is that isn’t as dire as you’re thinking. It not your first seven...

Want to know a secret honey and I haven’t been away for two nights or more for fun since the year we met 15 years ago. Sure we have gone away for fun once this summer for one night for my triathlon at Melmerby Beach but we brought my mom and step dad, buzz kill!... Continue Reading →
I don’t have a whole lot of running friends and I’m okay with that, for me the best runs are solo runs. But one of my favorite running friends says Valley Harvest is his favorite and he’s even done the full there three times! So when the perfect opportunity to run the 10k there presented...

Part of the reason I wrote a post about race bibs a few weeks ago was in preparation for this post. You can tell from the title of this post what I decided to do but I did have the opportunity to think about it, which I did first. But I ultimately decided to report... Continue Reading →
Sorry about last week folks. Let's just say there was a lemonade/keyboard related incident that took me a few days and possibly my first grey hair to figure out. I haven't found the hair yet but I wouldn't be surprised. I know for a lot of you your biggest race of the season is just... Continue Reading →
