When I read books, I often have a highlighter in my hand and I underline my favourite passages in a book. The Summit Seeker by Vanessa Runs is covered in neon. I “met” Vanessa online a number of years ago and I was absolutely blown away by her fearless free spirt. She and her partner gave… Read More…
Is Trail Running Becoming Too Commercialized?
I began trail running in 2010 which seems to be around the time that most runners discovered this unusual sport. For me, I began running trails because one of my 60 year old coworkers at the time was a trail runner and he told me I hadn’t run a race until I ran a trail… Read More…
Injury Series: The IT Band
Happy Monday, friends! I had quite the weekend. I covered 2 back to back 11 milers, went to a concert, participated in a pancake flipping contest and attended a work event for my new job. You know…the standard weekend. I have been getting a lot of questions about injuries lately and goodness knows I’ve had… Read More…

On Defiance: Matcha Shots
Sometimes running can make me feel defiant. This winter, I have been wrought with injuries because I have been training outside and the combination of cold weather and slippery roads have been causing numb feet, cranky achilles and tight calves.

A Perfect Shoe
One of the hardest things to find as a female athlete is proper shoes outside of running. Unfortunately, being an athlete doesn’t always pay all that much, which means I spend the bulk of my days in an office setting where it is expected that I do not show up in running shoes and spandex….

Spring Greening
On Wednesday, I often talk about sports nutrition and today I’m going to chat about cleansing and clean eating. I will never be a food blogger because if it has over 5 ingredients, I probably will not take the time to make it. My weekday meals are almost identical with an odd ingredient swap here… Read More…
Canada Running Series Weekend
Happy Monday everyone! After a solid 9 mile run on the treadmill (Yes, you read that correctly – I have moved my training indoors for a while to keep injuries at bay), Angela and I headed to Toronto for a weekend of food, friends and fun. Training has been a bit interrupted with injuries as… Read More…
Zeal Sunglasses and Why I’m Not Cool
When it comes to fashion, if it is not functional, I will probably not wear it. I did my hair this morning, standing under a hand dryer positioned high on the wall at the varsity pool. I eat most of my dinners in running shoes and spandex because I’ve run in the house too hungry… Read More…
