For anyone who needs a bit of a boost today

For anyone who needs a bit of a boost today

Occasionally, I write something and leave it in draft form for ages. This is one of those posts. It helps for weeks like this one where I am crazy busy and it ensures that I don’t just throw a slapped together post out there for you to read. This weekend, I am attending a gala… Read More…

What I Am Wearing Wednesday

What I Am Wearing Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! In the spirit of November being a little blah and the fact that I am in my off season at the moment, there are less training posts and race recaps round these parts. I decided to have a little fun with it and when I received a few follow up emails with questions… Read More…

Goals for November

Goals for November

October was such a fantastic month. I did my last big trip of the year. I did some travel for work. I ran the La Cloche Silhouette trail with friends. I also set some big goals. Up that strength training. My hamstring started to present with some weird symptoms at the attachment at my knee. I… Read More…

Happy Halloween from Laces and Lattes!

Happy Halloween from Laces and Lattes!

HIII! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! As I mentioned in my last post, I headed to the La Cloche Silhouette Trail with some friends and although it didn’t go QUITE as we planned, we ended up completing a gorgeous 60 KM hike and spent lots of time celebrating our achievement. (While also… Read More…

Why I am giving up some goals and not doing weighted squats

Why I am giving up some goals and not doing weighted squats

I have been taking a break from coaching for a month and half already with my off-season unofficially starting about a month ago. This is the first year I have chosen to take a break, rather than being forced into a break due to injury or unexpected life circumstances. The interesting thing I am finding… Read More…

Beets for Athletes and Nova Scotia

Cheers to the weekend! This morning, I am boarding a plane and headed to this: I have a 10 miler of some of Halifax’s biggest hills on tap this afternoon and ending up in gorgeous Lunenbourg this evening. I am celebrating the marriage of these stone cold foxes: Nicki is just someone I do hand-stand… Read More…

Laces and Lattes gets prAna’d

Full disclosure: I hate shopping. So when prAna shared an opportunity to try out some of their clothes for fall, I was delighted. This is an opportunity from my partnership with SweatPink.  I am a very picky consumer of clothing. I dislike shopping with the hatred of a thousand burning suns and when people visit… Read More…

Goals for October 2016

So did September actually happen or did we jump from August to October, because that is exactly what it felt like! The good news is, I stroked everything off my goals list so even though it was a bit of a wild ride, it was another beautiful September. Here were the goals I set last… Read More…

Coming To Terms With The Gender Divide

Coming To Terms With The Gender Divide

When I first started adventure racing, I made three simple rules to follow during a race to prove I was strong enough to belong racing alongside my male counterparts: 1. I will not complain 2. I will not cry 3. I will not quit And so far, I have only kept one of them because… Read More…

Courageous Decisions

Courageous Decisions

This post is a little bit of a deviance from my normal posting. I write about many topics, but many of them fall into health and fitness. Many of you who have followed me for a while know that I am a strong advocate for balanced mental health and speak out against eating disorders. Every… Read More…
