This year the half at Bluenose was actually my bonus post training season race. Even though that sounds like a humble brag it’s not, it’s just been a crazy running year. My mom has been sorta kinda toying with the idea of a half for a while now and then you know, Covid happened. Lucky... Continue Reading →
This was the first in person race I’ve done since the pandemic started. There have been just a few in my area and some that even happened last fall but before now I just wasn’t ready. Specifically I definitely wanted to be double vaxed before I participated. When the email came through for this one... 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 →
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 don’t have a whole lot of running friends and I’m okay with that, for me the best runs are solo runs.

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 →
This isn’t so much my race recap as it is my trainee’s though I was in fact there and I did get a medal for it. Truthfully when I heard about the give’r twice option to add the 5k to a race I was going to do on Sunday anyway I registered for both and... Continue Reading →
The secret truth about training for something that others see as impossible is it’s not that hard for most of the time. In a 12 week plan like the one I’m using, which has customizations for first timers and those that want to get faster there are about 4 weeks that get a little nutty.... Continue Reading →
