75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Believe it or not, I had written a training program before I ever started a blog. I started toying with the idea of completing an olympic triathlon when my cousin completed one and really inspired me. He was in fact super fit but also busy and had a medical issue that might have held him... Continue Reading →
This will be the second in a two part series where next week we’ll talk about what you should expect the first time you train for an event. You might think that the order should be reversed but I’m weird like that. So stay tuned until next week to find out what the first time... Continue Reading →
Tis' a weird time to be a runner isn’t it? It turns out it really is going to be a whole year without racing. Our favorite family reindeer run is canceled this year too. Sad face. Personally I took the summer to focus on other things like work and growing a new business which went... Continue Reading →
If you have trained, are training for or are planning to train for an endurance event you’ve probably heard the pearl of wisdom to just ‘trust the plan’ but should you?

This week I’m breaking one of my training rules that I'm always going on about, I’m running the Navy 10k! Racing while training isn’t a great idea because it can take too much out of the tank. I signed up for it thinking I would go for a PR but now I’m not so sure,... Continue Reading →
I have to admit that I feel a whole lot lighter giving myself a break on Wednesday posts for the next month. That said I didn’t exactly get to training any sooner in the week. Friday: We’ve been working far from home this week and so we’ve been putting in long days to make the... Continue Reading →
Week 4 was when it got hard this time. We’ve been busy, It’s been very hot sometimes too hot to run even for me and I’ve had other stuff on my mind too. Good stuff, but all those things combined makes for a hard place to train in. Plus I think that I’m now in... Continue Reading →
Quick contact the Guinness people I just had the best cross-training day that anyone ever has, period, exclamation point. Get ready for some gushing and I’m going to be a bit extra about it because it was just that good! This week a lot of stuff just came together for me. Not really big things... Continue Reading →
