Compression Socks and Athletes

Compression Socks and Athletes

I’ll never forget the first time I raced in compression socks. It was the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 2013 and I had chosen a pair of lime green CEP Compression socks. I hadn’t done much research on the benefits of compression gear although I am a big believer in it for recovery now. I… Read More…

Self Abuse, Eating Disorders and Why It Needs to Stop

Self Abuse, Eating Disorders and Why It Needs to Stop

“It’s hard to see severe and chronic in the same sentence. There HAS to be a stone we have not uncovered yet.” This text was sent to me at the beginning of the week by my incredibly brave and extremely tired mother who was referencing a doctor’s report. For those who follow my blog with… Read More…

Are lotteries a good way to manage admittance into popular trail races?

Are lotteries a good way to manage admittance into popular trail races?

In my head, I can run a lot longer and a lot faster than I actually can. I call it “small dog syndrome”. What do I mean? I used to own a little Yorkie named Wilson and he would attack other dogs that were 10 x his size. It didn’t matter. In his head, he… Read More…

Gooood morning! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I spent some time in Mississauga with Danielle and Angela at Goodness Me! in anticipation of their launch in Guelph and Kitchener/Waterloo.

Change

Ok. It was Monday yesterday. I blinked and now it is Friday. Crazy how travelling for work will do that! It’s not all bad, I was able to take some time and catch up on the brilliant Runners World rebrand.   So, I wanted to talk a little bit about change. There are some super… Read More…

What You Should be Eating: Pumpkin Seeds

What You Should be Eating: Pumpkin Seeds

I have said this before, but I truly believe that eating is linked to how you feel and how you perform. Although food is not the be all and end all, I normally start my treatment of most things with food. Have a cold setting in? I reach for the garlic before I reach for… Read More…

Mexico and STWM: On Balance

Mexico and STWM: On Balance

Well, this was certainly a different marathon. For starters, I hopped off a plane and headed to straight to Toronto to get my cheer on for the thousands of people who ran the SWTM yesterday, meaning I left all this behind: Angela and I headed down the night before and stayed with a friend. Early… Read More…

Athletes and Hyperthyroidism

Ok, this is a post I have been meaning to write for a long time. And since I am currently on vacation, I have all the time in the world to hammer it out. (I wrote these words before I was struck down with a nasty flu, but more on that later…) I had mentioned in… Read More…
