Valentines day is special no matter who you are. I know that's not always a popular opinion but it is mine. Sure, I get the argument that it's a commercial holiday and no relationship comes down to just one day but celebrating love is an idea I can beg behind. We do celebrate the holiday...

Sometimes we lament being put into a certain box by others. The truth of it is that more often than not we are the ones putting ourselves there. Both in terms of letting ourselves be put in a box and just finding our own box and crawling on in. You might be expecting the next... Continue Reading →
Are you a year round outdoor runner? If so you probably have a favorite running season and one that is decidedly not your favorite. Winter, mine is winter and no I do NOT need to think about that! I know a lot of people love fall most or spring but I love me a good... Continue Reading →
One of the great things about running is that no one says you have to stay exactly on the road. You can wander a bit around the edges and run through some really beautiful scenery just a few steps from where you are 'supposed' to be. I took this picture last spring in a local... Continue Reading →
My mom used to say a lot of things, like everybody's mom did. Some of them turned out to be pearls, some not so much. Some I carry with me others I was all "Nah, that doesn't apply." One thing she said a lot was that every could has a silver lining, but she took... Continue Reading →
How are those resolutions going? Hopefully still great and that's not really why we're here today for. But just in case the answer is "not so great" here's two things to consider.

I've started certain conservation efforts, running consistently and blogging this time of year too. Others have been less successful like last year's resolution to curse less,... Continue Reading →
Just a quick post to say I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season full of family or the family you choose, love and joy from our house to yours. We just had our big holiday do on boxing day and every year I find myself a little emotional after the fact. Not one... Continue Reading →
I took this picture during my last half this September at Maritime Race Weekend which was just named the best race in Canada! Way to go, you definitely deserve that golden sneaker award! It's a great picture but it just didn't make the cut for that race recap. It's exactly the picture that you would... Continue Reading →
Some of you keeners may have picked up on the fact that I haven't been running lately. Since September My left foot/ankle has been acting weird. I've decided to be the only runner that takes their own advice and actually stay off of it as much as possible. Well except for that one trail race... Continue Reading →
