This picture was taken about 6 years ago on a trip to the seaside shanty in Chester. It was one of those impossibly perfect and calm days only made better by a nice date night. This weekend I'll finally tackle that half after months of training. It was only by taking time to reflect on... Continue Reading →
I actually took this sky picture accidentally while shooting my sister's maternity photos this past weekend. Hooray for happy accidents and it's way better than the one I took of my own feet. No matter how old or young you are there is still time to live out your dreams it just matter's how hard... Continue Reading →
Well we're finally done in Peggy's Cove... for now. So this week's Peggy's Cove picture is probably the last one for a while. I took this still from a video I shot on a day when the waves were absolutely dramatic at the tail end of the storm. It made me think how much the... Continue Reading →
In training and in life we're presented with obstacles. Sometimes there's a way around it other times there's no choice to push straight through but often those obstacles turn out to be opportunities when looking back on them.

I run on the road for the most part for a few good reasons and because it's pretty beautiful here too, plus just a little easier. But every time I leave it and head out on the trails it's a great experience too. I'm planning on doing a fair amount of triathlon training on my... Continue Reading →

Last week I got to go on an amazingly beautiful Peggy's Cove and took lots of amazing... Continue Reading →
For almost the whole of the past year we've been working in Peggy's Cove, which is admittedly a bit of a tourist trap. We haven't made it as far as the lighthouse although we're there with visitors pretty dang often. At least 10 times I've had my running gear in the car but I've always... Continue Reading →
I took this picture last week at the tail end of a storm. It's just a picture of our beach with some heavy surf at low tide. Notice the big container ship that pulled into the bay to escape the storm. A lot of people don't know but the sand on a beach comes and... Continue Reading →
We've had a crazy winter for surf this year, high tides have coincided with surges and storms. It's actually caused a lot of damage. We've been working on a big project in Peggy's Cove all winter were the surf is world famous for it's rugged beauty. This week I had to pull over and take... Continue Reading →
