This weekend, I am headed on a camping trip with friends for a final hurrah before donning my boots, coat and scarves. I have loaded my little car down with camping supplies and of course, running gear. I am looking forward to a weekend of music, friends and of course, the ever present training. Now,… Read More…
Staying Focused During a Long Run
I remember standing at the starting line of cross country races in high school and thinking: “This is going to hurt.” I was almost always undertrained, underfed and over stressed, but I would launch myself through the course with reckless abandon and would indeed, be hurting by the end when I crawled into the team… Read More…
August Goal Checkin and 5 More!
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fabulously rested weekend full of sunshine, friends and delicious food! I had a busy, but satisfying weekend. Sunday, I rose early and took advantage of the new sunshine and ran 32 km. I went to church and had lunch with a good friend. Lots of restful and… Read More…
Putting a Cap on Trail Races
I will never forget the day that I found out about ultra marathons. It was a summer day in 2010 and I felt like I had discovered something that was unknown to everyone else. I remember the process clearly – signing up online, buying my first pair of trail shoes and finally, the day when… Read More…
Training While on Vacation
Greetings from Collingwood. Apologies for the lack of communication on Monday – I took the day off to relax in the most exaggerated sense possible on vacation with my family and a few members we have adopted along the way. A few shots so far: It has been fantastic – full of fresh air, lots… Read More…
Finding the Shoe That Fits
Let’s talk shoes. And for once, it is NOT running shoes. It was a question I have been struggling with for…well, ever. What shoes do you wear when you are not running? As someone with fallen arches with orders to wear orthotics, I know that it isn’t my Louboutins. But I struggle almost daily when I take… Read More…
The Importance of Cross Training for Runners
It is easy to get caught up in your training plan and forget that you can do an activity outside of running. Tempo run on Tuesday, Hills on Wednesday, Long Run on Sunday, and on the list goes. But what happens when you start feeling those niggling pains and muscle tightness? If you are anything… Read More…
Why Running Helps if You Dine at Eigensinn Farm
One of the best things about being an athlete is the appetite that is attached to it. It merits texts from friends along the lines of “I need to know if you are planning on camping this weekend so I can make sure we have enough food.” Or like this weekend after completing a 100… Read More…
Why Technology Connects Us
I come from a family that is always on the move. Whether it is snowboarding, rock climbing, off roading, hiking, swimming or a myriad of other sports, we are constantly exploring, discovering and surging onward. Being raised to be in motion, we find more and more that we are together less and less. We have… Read More…
Targeting the Thutt
Last week, I had probably the most awkward autocorrect moment of my life. It all started while I was driving to Toronto for a meeting and I was taking the scenic route because of an accident on the 401. So no, I do not drink before 10 am, nor do I like to make… Read More…
