75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
For a long time I ran but I didn't usually love it. The odd time it was alright but mostly it was just really a really efficient way to keep fit. Then I started running further and I fell in love. Maybe it was more complicated than that or maybe it wasn't. At some point... Continue Reading →
I’m a very average now and I’m damn proud of that. It didn’t happen overnight in fact it took about three years of getting really serious, staying dedicated and lots of determination to be this average for me. But to be fair I’ve been well and truly average for over a year now and I’m... Continue Reading →
Races are all fun right? I’d be a terrible critic for movies, food, races and pretty much everything else. For the most part I just like it all! I almost never say something wasn’t good, well except some of the movies honey watches but pretty much every one with Russian gangsters follows the same plot... Continue Reading →
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.

Canada is a really, really big country, like really big, second only to Russia. American's say as big as Texas while Nunavut is literally three times as big as Texas and 8 of our 13 provinces and territories are bigger than Texas so we're not all that impressed with the size of Texas up here....

I’m not a serious carb loader but before a big race, and my mom recently reminded me back in the day for swim trials I do indulge. Do I find it helps, ehhhh, maybe? Many, many years ago I took a metabolism course that required us to memorize every pathway in human metabolism so I... Continue Reading →
This post was actually inspired by some kinda crappy cyclists on the trail but I figured runners might need a hand too and the cycling portion will be here on Wednesday, swimmers you’re on your own! Now there are lots of other posts out there on this sort of thing but all we’re missing something... Continue Reading →
