Mile 23: I Hate Brick Runs

Recently, Mark and I were watching a show where a couple was having a fight of epic proportions. I smiled at him smugly and made a comment about how glad I was that we NEVER fought like that. He looked at me incredulously from the other side of the couch. “Have you been on our… Read More…

Ticking Boxes – February 2017 Polar Performance Report

This is one of those “better late than never” scenarios, I am afraid. I wanted to pause this month to talk a bit about last month’s training. February Training Distance covered: 737 KM Training hours: 45 SWIMMING: 4.5 hrs. VERY low month for swim volume. Oops. This has a lot to do with pool accessibility in the… Read More…

How to Set Up Your Bike Training Space

This past weekend was a long one in Canada and we got Monday off. It is a newer holiday called Family Day and unfortunately, all of my family members were travelling in the US, so I decided to take their lead and headed to Michigan.

Pilates with Merrithew and a GIVEAWAY

I love trying new things. It’s how I got finagled into expedition length adventure racing and donning a pair of pink fighting gloves for Muai Thai. When I was given the opportunity to try a Pilates class at Stott Pilates, I was completely intrigued. I have taken a number of pilates style classes at various gyms… Read More…

2017 Race Schedule

I think I very well get the worst friend of the year award. Recently, one of my closest university friends let me know she was engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid. My response was: “As long as it isn’t on one of my race weekends.” What I really meant was as long as it… Read More…
