75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
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 →
This week was a really different week for me. Honey was away for most of it as he was the week before too. We spend a lot of time together like most couples and then extra work time together too. It’s a lot, sometimes a lot, a lot. I joke, mostly but since I moved... Continue Reading →
Running seems like a great, sometimes pretty way to spend your time. Cute outfits, stunning views and all the grace of a gazelle right? Sure maybe sometimes for some people but there are some pretty yucky things we encounter along the way. Since lots of you are out there pounding the pavement and deep into... Continue Reading →
Training updates are back again! Last year it was half marathon updates which rolled right into olympic triathlon updates and all that stretched on for 5 months! This year it’s a scant two and a half months and we’re done. If your a keen Sweat Sweetly reader you already know from my 2019 season plan... Continue Reading →
Let’s start off here by saying none of these pieces of advice are bad or wrong. Not in the least but they aren’t the best advice for every runner out there all of the time. I was thinking about this the other day on my long run as I was walking a very sharp turn... Continue Reading →
Yeah, I do mean this to work on a few different levels. Literally the road you're on and the life road that you're on. But let's talk about literal roads today. I'm pretty lucky to live in a place where it's hard to pick a bad road for running, there are stunning vistas like this... Continue Reading →
In Canada we complain about the weather a lot, like a lot a lot! Truth be told it’s not really that bad but it is super unpredictable. That is until our spring on the East coast this year, there basically wasn’t one. Which means it was cold and wet, wet and snowy up until pretty... Continue Reading →
I actually really thought about not doing a race recap for this one and just running the race, but where’s the fun in that? I’ve been ‘racing’ with the older folks the last couple of weekends. But also running lots of hills a bit faster than in previous years in between to try to break... Continue Reading →
I’m noticing a trend in the running/fitness community and *cough* my life and that is how runners go on to become triathletes only to give it all up and run relatively slow on trails for a really long time. But I also get why this happens both in terms of the body and the vibe... Continue Reading →
Run wild, run free. Great words to live by but a little unrealistic right? At least I think so. You'll see lots of motivational messages out there with that sort of message on them. As nice as that sounds most of us just can't live our lives that way. Things like mortgages, those kids you... Continue Reading →
