January Coffee Date

Jan15

January Coffee Date

Morning!!! Today, I am headed off on another adventure and I have a little bit of trepidation for this one, which is unusual for me. I like to think I can be one tough cookie for most things and most extreme events that I do, I just don’t overthink and just do. I learned this… Read More…

2015 Running Year in Review

Wow. I am sure I will say this every year for many years to come, but this has been the biggest year in running for me in terms of performance, experiences and learning. WHAT A YEAR. I raced a lot this year and won’t mention every thing I did because we have lives to live,… Read More…

Crossing the Endurance Athlete Off Your Gift List

Hi hi friends. How about a midweek Christmas shopping reminder? I have been pretty great with getting mine done but I have a few finishing touches to pull together. If you are anything like me, the hardest thing in the world is knowing what to GET people on your list. There are a ton of… Read More…

Rest Day and a Tour of the New Place

Sep14

Rest Day and a Tour of the New Place

It would appear that Fall is officially here. My newsfeed is clogged up with Pumpkin Spice lattes (I hate pumpkin spice, so I fail as a North American twenty something female without even getting out of the gate), the leaves have started turning colours and I wore a scarf yesterday. I also finished up my… Read More…

A Bit Of A Scare

Jul27

A Bit Of A Scare

It was another perfect weekend in South Western Ontario. I think the summer days in July have got to be my absolute favourite. It was the 5 Peaks Albion Hills race this weekend and I headed to Caledon with one of my trail running buddies, Leanne. I wasn’t racing so I paced her on the… Read More…

CanFitPro Giveaway and Cycling Update

Happy Friday! It’s been an unusual week for me as I ditched my car and opted for a bike commute instead. I rode through thunderstorms, ran errands and maneuvered construction sites but I made it through alive and in one piece. I’m not being facetious. I legitimately love mornings. Cycling has been a great way… Read More…

Goals for June 2015

Well good morning, friends. We are almost at the halfway point of the year which is nuts to think about. I had a good weekend at the Heartlake 5 Peaks race which was an absolute scorcher! I also had a birthday so I filled the weekend with a number of birthday celebrations as well. Last… Read More…

Paris to Ancaster Review

Paris to Ancaster Review

Well this one is sure overdue! The Week of Three Races is a distant memory, I just finished my tempo workout for the evening and am eating dark chocolate in bed. There is probably not a better time to do a race recap than now. Five days after running the Boston Marathon, I ran a… Read More…
