75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I’m starting to feel like it’s almost time for another triathlon in my life. Believe it or not an olympic distance requires a racecation from Halifax as a home base, at least for a night or two. If it’s a half iron I’m after it’s all the way to Quebec at a minimum. For many... Continue Reading →
To be honest there really isn’t a wrong time to register for a race but is there a perfect time? I would say yes there is. Of course it depends what race and what year you’re talking about and it could even vary from person to person. How can something so simple also be so... Continue Reading →
In a lot of ways 2021 was a lot like 2020 again around here. But there was one big and important difference. In 2021 we already had one pandemic year interrupted so we kinda knew what was coming in 2021. 2020 turned out not to be a running year for me but it still taught... Continue Reading →
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 →

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 →
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 →
This is what I do and if you’re at a loss, a first timer or you need to step up your game I think It’s a pretty good place to start. Attached to this post is a pretty free printable checklist with some spots for you to add your own thing. You’ll see that this... Continue Reading →
