Adventures and Redesign

Gooood morning!

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I spent some time in Mississauga with Danielle and Angela at Goodness Me! in anticipation of their launch in Guelph and Kitchener/Waterloo. I am extremely excited that they are coming locally because it is quite possibly the most beautiful health food store I have ever been in and I will be able to offer you some exclusive discounts to their stores. I will be writing more on that later, but I spent the evening hearing more about the store and stocking up on some of my staples.

As a part of my commitment to focus on stressing less and relaxing more, I did a few activities this weekend that I normally do not do.

I am slowly rebuilding my running and I was finishing up my (5 minute) run when I ran into my brother in law who was driving down the road.

“Hop in, we are going on an adventure.” he said.

I will be honest, I normally would have protested and thought of the incredible amount of work I had to do that day. But I tossed the idea and heard him out. He wanted to follow the local river as far as it would go, so I agreed. We spent the morning hopping electric fences. collecting burrs and having a Saturday morning adventure, because sometimes it’s important to act 20 years younger than you are.

And I still ended up getting everything done that day that I needed to get done.

Sunday morning, I started my day with an elliptical workout and headed over to the arena for a bit of an unusual start to the day.

 

I am by no means a hockey player, but it is fun to spend some time with sports I wouldn’t do regularly during my off-season. This year has been a great time of pushing outside of my comfort zone and trying new things. I have taken up squash, golf, surfing, muay thai and adventure racing and have a number of new sports on the horizon I will be tackling.

Another thing I wanted to chat about is the redesign. I am so excited to share it with you because it has been a long time coming. I have been back and forthing with my developer for months now and although we have a number of tweaks to work out, welcome to the new and improved Laces and Lattes!

Here are a couple of changes:

• THE COMMENTS ARE FIXED! You no longer watch your comment disappear and wonder where it went. Everything has been fixed and is back to normal!
• You are now able to subscribe by email! If you head on to the bottom of this post, you can enter your email to receive my quarterly newsletter. I will be sharing workouts, training and nutrition tips, special discounts and some of my favourite workout music each time.
• There is a floating search bar where you can access all of my social media channels and do a full search of my site for anything you are looking for.
• Laces and Lattes is now mobile friendly! You no longer need to zoom in on your phone to read the text, everything is easily accessible and easy to read.
• Some of my most popular posts are able to be found on the sidebar.
• The tabs at the top with Sports Nutrition, Training, Races and Favourites are categorized so you can see all of the posts I have written on the topic.

Like I mentioned, I am still working out a few bugs, but if you encounter any issues, please let me know and I will adjust as soon as I can.
