75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
The weird thing is I didn’t expect to learn anything the second time around. I thought I got this, sameish plan and do what you did last time. Nothing to learn here right? Well not exactly, life always has a lesson or two for us. So here it is and this time it’s mostly tips... Continue Reading →
Mornings aren't for running for every one, but even I'll admit it's a pretty great way to start the day. With warmer weather upon us (eventually here) the morning is the coolest part of the day even compared to the late evening. Training for a half at Bluenose this year meant lots of morning runs...

It occurred to me this week I’m not sure I’ve done a single workout on the assigned day yet. I might have but it was purely by accident. This week was actually a lot of fun at work, in life and in training. Buy the time I reach week 8 in a 12 week running... Continue Reading →
Well folks here’s a first I had to add 2018 to the title since I’ve done the tire trot last year too. See I’m all experienced at this racing and blogging about it shiz. I’m like a tire trot OG all the way back to year one! I’ve done it every year since it started,... Continue Reading →
Or Ironman or half Ironman for that matter and that’s okay. This is not a marathoners are stupid boring people post in fact quite the opposite. I also get that if you can run a half or even a 10 k you can take the time and train for a full marathon. But I’m not... 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 →
I’m writing this one with an eye one the time to head out the door for the Lifemark 5k at Bluenose weekend! Zero more sleeps!!!! This week included exactly two runs which all of a sudden wasn’t nearly enough. That’s because the weather was amazing and work was really long and a bit stressful. We’ve... Continue Reading →
Oh this week, 26 km four runs no problem right? Circle back to my first update when I decided to do a half at Bluenose and I had always said it’s too early to do a 1/2 in the year, I can’t since peak training is as my busiest part of the year and I... Continue Reading →
The best part about peak week is the fast that it’s comprised of all your biggest training runs AND that they are the VERY LAST ones! That and you feel like a super hero. But I’ve also been tiered, wharfing and getting life stuff crossed off the checklist now that we’ve moved on job wise.... Continue Reading →
This week I’ve been trying to make the idea of something being penultimate a thing. It’s had some mixed success. In half marathon training plans there are a few (in my case 4) really hellish weeks before your taper off and rest usually. From past experience I’ve found that last week to be empowering, a...
