Weekend on the Water

Jul21

Weekend on the Water

Just saying, I may have to try this whole not racing thing again sometime. I had such a fantastic weekend full of friends, adventures and a really solid workout. I headed to Hamilton on Friday night and spent some time with two of my best friends from university. We grabbed pizza and ate it by… Read More…

Summer 2014 Playlist

Summer 2014 Playlist

Although I don’t train with music regularly, it is a huge part of my every day life. I am a commuter and the way I consume music is to arrive at a song I love and listen to it endlessly until I am so tired of the song that I can’t listen to it again… Read More…

Goals for July

Goals for July

Well this post is a little late. I would say I cared but I don’t. I really don’t. We are in the midst of a Canadian long weekend and I am in full out vacation mode. I went camping this past weekend and I had a wonderful weekend with friends full of sunsets, long trails… Read More…

Q & A: Running Without Eating and Aerobic Base

Q & A: Running Without Eating and Aerobic Base

Well friends, we have made it to the middle of the week. I have been LOVING the warm temperatures and my early morning runs have been in shorts and tshirts. There is nothing better than literally rolling out of bed and watching the sun rise while running, especially when I am running completely pain-free again!… Read More…

IRIS, Golf and the Happy Lens

IRIS, Golf and the Happy Lens

After I shared my goals for June, I received a number of questions asking what new sport I was taking on? I had never really played golf before in my life and I thought what better way to learn than in a tournament?! Turns out, golf is not something that you can just wing and… Read More…

Book Review: Running on Empty by Marshall Ulrich

Happy Humpday! What week it has been so far… Perhaps most notably, my baby sister was struck by a car on her bike on Monday night and needed to be transported to the hospital in an ambulance. She is pretty cut up and is sporting a nice set of stiches on her chin, but we… Read More…

Goals for June 2014

Whew. What a fantastic weekend. It was my birthday and I celebrated at a Jays Game, with Super Heroes, a big birthday party with some friends and some of my favourite runners! It was also my very first double race weekend, so that was a new challenge. I know it affected both race performances, but I… Read More…

Q & A with Jessica K

Q & A with Jessica K

Good morning. Welcome to Friday! It has been the kind of week that was so busy that I woke up Monday morning feeling stressed. As always, it was much more manageable than I expected, but it was definitely one of those blink-and-you-miss it weeks, which is perfectly fine because it brought me closer to my… Read More…

RIVAL frames – A Zeal Optics Review

Growing up as the daughter of a small business owner, I have a soft spot in my heart for the hometown feel when it comes to where I buy things. Whether it is the hole in the wall breakfast spot beside a chain restaurant, a Home Hardware store instead of a big box building supply… Read More…

Well hello! If you are Canadian, you are in the midst of a long weekend and I hope you are doing as little as possible today! I had a fabulous weekend so far, including a trip to Hamilton to visit some of my best friends and a long run to get me in racing shape… Read More…
