February Coffee Date

I don’t know about you, but I could go for a good cup of coffee right now. Let’s chat about life stuff, shall we? Currently watching I saw this video on Hungry Runner Girl’s blog this week and loved watching Angela’s journey to ultimately winning a 100 miler. Favourite podcast I am all about the podcasts… Read More…

Goals for February and a Challenge for YOU

Goals for February and a Challenge for YOU

Mercifully, for the kind of month I just had, I didn’t set any mini goals for January so I just kind of did my thing. I DID set some bigger goals for the whole year, but February is the first month where I am setting out some incremental goals to reach those big ones! Let’s get… Read More…

The Unsexy Side of Performance

Jan18

The Unsexy Side of Performance

The athletic world is full of type-A rockstars. Obviously, there are exceptions, but I find I am surrounded by athletes who are committed to their training and have a bit of a mental battle if they miss a workout. Resting and recovering is just not sexy. I get it. I am pretty Type A myself… Read More…

Workout Wednesday 3: Working Out On Vacation

Workout Wednesday 3: Working Out On Vacation

Sorry to miss last week’s Workout Wednesday post on winter running. I was…on vacation. When I am travelling, I like to take a little bit of a technology detox. As a blogger, PR manager and millennial, my phone tends to be glued to my hip so whenever is appropriate, I like to go off-line. One… Read More…

Don’t Forget to Play

Dec12

Don’t Forget to Play

This is really embarrassing to admit, but as the eldest child in my family, I would play with my younger siblings into my teenage years. Like – games that required an overactive imagination. And I liked it. I have always loved to play and dreaded the day that I needed to grow up and give… Read More…

Goals for December

Goals for December

YAY! It’s the holiday season and I absolutely love it! I mentioned that I find November a bit blah and I love the sparkle and hustle of December. I love holiday parties, connecting with friends and family and playing Christmas music. Before I get too excited about December, let’s take a look at what I… Read More…

Things I Learned In My Off-Season

Things I Learned In My Off-Season

And just like that, it’s over. I recieved an email from my coach this week that my formal training begins on Monday morning. It took a couple months of unstructured, low volume, low intensity workouts but I am mentally and physically refreshed and very excited to get back to training. I stopped with formal training… Read More…

Top Five Books for the Athlete on Your Holiday List

Earlier this week, I woke up before my alarm. It was one of those wake ups where you could go back to sleep, but I thought of my book and instantly snapped awake. I made a hot cup of coffee and settled in for an hour of reading. That is right – I chose to read over… Read More…
