Ragnar Ultra Relay Recap

Ragnar Ultra Relay Recap

Last month, I introduced you to the Nuun Hydration Ragnar Adirondacks Ultra team! This past weekend, we were all together to watch some baseball (still holding out for those Blue Jays…) and to do some running at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Now that we have had time to process the race I figured it was high… 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…

Running Nova Scotia

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I just got back from travelling to the East coast for the first time to celebrate a friend’s wedding. It was a gorgeous place and the scenery was off the hook. I am finally starting to feel recovered to do more frequent workouts in my off season and I took full advantage… Read More…

Polar Performance Report – September 2016

Polar Performance Report – September 2016

As I mentioned in my last report, I took a break from coaching this month because it literally consisted of racing and recovering. It is crazy to know that the biggest races of my 2016 year are behind me, but it was a fantastic month. Distance covered: 1,018 KM Running: 265 km Cycling: 753 km… 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

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…

Just for Colors and Don’t Miss the Magic

Whenever it reaches the end of the month, I always keep a close eye on the goals I made for the beginning of the month and do my best to knock anything outstanding off of the list. This month, it was reorganising my closet: pulling all of the colourful summer clothes out and loading up… Read More…

September Coffee Date

September Coffee Date

It was JUST summer but I am finally acknowledging that as September is closing out that fall is here and it is here to stay. I have some really exciting things planned for fall so I am not mad about it, I just am annoyed with the cold. So let’s get a hot cup of… 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…
