75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Don’t get it twisted not like a lot, a lot and I’m still never going camping so feel free to leave me off that invite list! Back in my grad school days the entire DAL biology department used to joke, is it a joke though?, that in the event of an apocalyptic event we should... Continue Reading →
Sorry about last week folks. Let's just say there was a lemonade/keyboard related incident that took me a few days and possibly my first grey hair to figure out. I haven't found the hair yet but I wouldn't be surprised. I know for a lot of you your biggest race of the season is just... Continue Reading →
Most of us aren't natural born runners, swimmers or bodybuilders. Chances are we'll never ever win a race unless everyone else gets the date wrong. But that doesn't really matter does it? Finishing a race you never thought possible and not too long ago wasn't possible for you is a tremendous accomplishment. While we might... Continue Reading →
The 10k could it be the core of a runner’s options? I think it’s my favourite distance to run in a race and I know a few other lifetime runner types that agree with me. My yoga teacher, a local plumber and the guy that works at the building supply store all love the 10k... Continue Reading →
Sometimes we have to zoom out, like way out on our everyday lives and take stock. While you're out there taking the wide view on your life remember to not only look at the obstacles in front of you but the ones behind you that you've already overcome. You got past those and you'll get... Continue Reading →
So this week was an easy one in so many ways. Physically there wasn’t much to do with training and work wise we’re gearing up to do a big project where we REALLY have to have all our i’s dotted and our t’s crossed. So lots of meetings and we sold the house! Actually to... Continue Reading →
Peak week is over ya’ll so that just leaves the freaking out, meticulous planning and second guessing stage left before training and tapering is officially done. I’m writing this after my Monday night run, usually it’s just add the update for that one and post but you know life. I say that because it already... Continue Reading →
Do you ever cop an attitude about something, really dig in your heels, refuse to consider alternatives and then find out you were dead wrong? Yeah me neither except this one time… Well I wish I could say it was only one time but it happened one time this week and that was about training... Continue Reading →
My phone shot this picture accidentally while I was posing for today's workout selfie. You can see all the indents of the bikes and vehicles that passed in the last two days since we've had a driving rain in the middle of nowhere. Not a runfie tonight but maybe a bikie? It was actually a... Continue Reading →
This week really seemed like a running week and I was cool with that. I also got to musing this week about whether yoga might actually be bad for runner’s knee. Or I should say I mused more about whether yoga is bad for runner’s knee. I would love to know your feelings about that... Continue Reading →
