Gear Review: inov8 OROCS (The ones with the spikes)

Gear Review: inov8 OROCS (The ones with the spikes)

I often do not have the chance to leave the office in time to go home, change, and head to running practice, so my coworkers have gotten accustomed to seeing me walk in the door in the morning in heels and a blazer and dash out the door in running spikes and tights at night…. Read More…

Scandinavian Spa at Blue Mountain

Mar7

Scandinavian Spa at Blue Mountain

To say it has been a stressful week has been an understatement. I hit the ground running as soon as the plane landed on my home turf and I have no chance of stopping soon. This weekend, I am headed to Hamilton to visit one of my best friends, then Toronto to meet with a… Read More…

Pure NRG by Sears GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Feb12

Pure NRG by Sears GIVEAWAY CLOSED

If you were to go into my dresser at this very moment you would see a few drawers neatly folded with the necessities of professional wear and the bottom two drawers heaped to the brim with spandex, cooling fabric and multi-colours. The workout clothing drawers.  Considering an average day consists of both a morning and… Read More…

J Walking Skirt

Jan31

J Walking Skirt

Last night, I was walking quickly along the sidewalk in heels and I bumped into someone I knew. “Going running?” they asked. I wasn’t and it seemed ridiculous to me at the time, but the reality is, my training life and regular life are not separate entities, but flow together in bizarre ways to the… Read More…

Book Review: Mind Gym by Gary Mack

Jan17

Book Review: Mind Gym by Gary Mack

One of my goals for 2014 is to work through a book every month. As a past English major, this would be a laughably small amount of reading, but when you through in a full time job, a busy training schedule and some semblance of a social life, the reading hours in my days are… Read More…

Fit Snap and the Canyon

Dec20

Fit Snap and the Canyon

A big hello from Arizona! I have been here for the week and have been enjoying every second of soaking up the sun and having a few adventures. I have been doing a lot of hiking while I am here because I am still doing athletic therapy for my achilles injury, so I am taking… Read More…

Vionic Shoe Event or (I Found the Shoe that Fits)

This past week, my sister and I hopped in the car and headed to Toronto for the launch party of Vionic Shoes 2014 line. It was partly me wanting to spend some one on one time with her and the other piece was to see if I could solve one of my most burning issues… Read More…

SKECHERS Go Bionic Trail Shoe Review

Nov22

SKECHERS Go Bionic Trail Shoe Review

It was a brutally early morning this past summer, when the sun was just coming up, that I learned that Skechers had a trail running line. I was listening to my favourite podcast for running, Ultra Runner Podcast by Range of Motion on one of my Sunday morning long runs, when I heard about an ultra runner… Read More…

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I spent mine with friends and headed up to Toronto at one point for a Chris Thile concert.

It is literally is a miracle I am still standing.

Jun26

It is literally is a miracle I am still standing.

Hydration is something I haven’t always taken seriously. When training for my first ultra marathon, I would wake at dawn and run the required distance (in the vicinity of 35-40 km) and forget my water bottle at home. If I would be fortunate enough to cross a water fountain, I would have a few sips… Read More…
