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.

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 →
