Why I am Grateful I Was Injured This Summer

Why I am Grateful I Was Injured This Summer

Is blogging even a thing any more? I always said I would keep up blogging as long as I loved it. What I wasn’t anticipating is that I would stop having time for it. Let me rephrase that differently – where I stopped making it priority, even though I loved it. I will always love… Read More…

Mile 23: Why Social Media Dissatisfaction is Your Fault

Mile 23: Why Social Media Dissatisfaction is Your Fault

(New here and don’t know what Mile 23 is? Check details out here.) I have been sitting with this post for a long time. It’s a big topic for me because I love social media. I love the connections I can make with people, the voyeurism of sneaking a look into people’s lives and the curated, amplified… Read More…

An Ironman or an Adventure Race – Which Is Harder?

Jan31

An Ironman or an Adventure Race – Which Is Harder?

This is a question I have fielded quite a bit since my Ironman this past summer. I have stood on the podium for both an Ironman and a multi-day adventure race so am equally competitive in both sports.  The other element that makes this a fair analysis is that I am deeply passionate about both… Read More…

Stage 4 Cancer – My Sport Isn’t All I’m Crushing

I introduced this series last week and I am so excited to introduce you to the first athlete I am featuring. The series is titled My Sport Isn’t All I’m Crushing. Most of us have needed to deal with an injury here or there but what I am talking about is something that stops someone in their… Read More…

Mile 23: I’m Making You a Promise

Mile 23: I’m Making You a Promise

Recently, my very good friend Christina of the Athletarian deleted her blog and social channels. In the process, she gave up thousands of dollars and promotional opportunities but from what I have been hearing from her, she has never been happier. I am so freaking proud of her and it really was a reminder for… Read More…

Mile 23: Being a Sister to a Recovering Anorexic

Mile 23: Being a Sister to a Recovering Anorexic

Netflix just released a new video on anorexia that was met with some controversy. I love that Hollywood is tackling this issue head on and naturally, they will receive criticism for any missteps, but the good news is that they are trying and that is a great thing in my mind. I’m not an overly emotional… Read More…

Mile 23: Actually No, I Don’t Want To Pay for Your Vacation

Mile 23: Actually No, I Don’t Want To Pay for Your Vacation

I chose this month’s Mile 23 photo because I look utterly ridiculous and I seem to have developed bingo wings. But we aren’t here to nitpick – the reality is, it represents a really fun, happy day for me where Mark and I decided to try a duathlon the week after our first 70.3 and… Read More…

Mile 23: Why I’m Never Going Keto

Mile 23: Why I’m Never Going Keto

This month’s terrible race photo was chosen for a reason. It was almost a year ago when I ran the RunWaterloo Pancake Mile and today I am doing my Mile 23 on carbs or rather, lack thereof. If you need some context for the race and some fodder for making fun of me (beyond what I routinely provide… Read More…

2017 Vision Board and Goals

2017 Vision Board and Goals

Here is the thing. I don’t think I can ever NOT be a goal setter. I did learn something pretty big in 2016 though. I will not always reach all of my goals and that is ok. As the year progressed, I reassessed my goals (which is why I do the monthly goal check in to… 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…
