75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Race day cheerleaders should you bring them? I read a race recap post recently from Better LIVIN whom I follow and that sort of inspired this post. It sounded like she had a bit of a rough time with her cheerers that race and once or twice honey hasn't been totally over the moon excited... Continue Reading →
Life is funny sometimes. A bad thing turns into a great thing, a great thing turns out to totally derail you or a nothing thing turns out to totally change your life. Two years ago, I got hit with a 1/4 scale gas powered RC car, got 7 stitches in my foot (the first in... Continue Reading →
So running is a thing now, a REALLY, REALLY big thing. In fact in our small city (or really big town depending on your local), Halifax and surrounding areas, population 300 000, creating a race can be a decent paying job!

This turned out to be a trail run, did not know that, a trail run in the cold and rain actually. So I have my outdoorsy points for the week nailed down! It was a lot of fun and I ran without music or pacing so it is some good unintentional triathlon training. A bit... Continue Reading →
Is it possible to say that before I even start I have a crisis? Is it a crisis that as of right now I have no race to compete in? How did this happen and how can I fix it? To be honest right now I don't even really have a real plan but I... Continue Reading →
This was my second time officially running in bluenose marathon weekend festivities. I did the 10 k last year, in a lot of pain but got a PR none the less, to be fair I hadn't run many 10k's. One time I sort of ran a bit of the 5k as a bandit in a... Continue Reading →
