Is blogging even a thing any more? I always said I would keep up blogging as long as I loved it. What I wasn’t anticipating is that I would stop having time for it. Let me rephrase that differently – where I stopped making it priority, even though I loved it. I will always love… Read More…
In Defence of Tight IT Bands
This week, I was proudly recapping my successful recovery from my accident to my physio. “And I took an entire month off after the accident and rested and now I am good to go! I feel AMAZING now.” “Excuse me?” He whirled on me with an acupuncture needle in his hand. “What.” “Were we talking… Read More…
Recovery Update and MAKING IT HAPPEN
Well, we are getting back to at least a solid one a week posting schedule, folks. Things have been a little hairy with my work and racing schedule combined with accident rehab, but I am standing on both feet and am making great strides forward. Last weekend, I was racing the Ragnar Adirondacks 200 miler… Read More…
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…
How to Overcome Plantar Fasciitis
Tis the season for injuries, or so it feels. I give incredible props to all the athletes out there who have come through an entire season of racing and training completely unscathed, in fact, that is the main goal on my list for 2015. Although I have never suffered from it myself, I have had… Read More…
Returning from a Stress Fracture
This is the biggest, probably most exciting week of November for me. Why? I GET TO START RUNNING AGAIN! I has been a long haul and even though there have been a few moments where I ran here and there as I knew my stress fractures were healing, I have more or less stayed completely… Read More…
If we were having coffee: Laces and Lattes style
Ok. It’s time to interrupt regular posting to have a very frank chat. The blog feature of “if we were having coffee”? We are doing that right now. Except it would be a latte for me. I have a confession. I am not running right now. At all. It’s not that I don’t want to…. Read More…
Sports Taping for Runners
It’s Wednesday which means that I just survived my first huge event at work. I had been informed by my boss that if I can survive this month, I can survive anything this job throws me, so I am relieved and quite frankly, ready to sleep for a week. My training took a back seat… Read More…
Fixing and Preventing Runner’s Knee
Hello friends. Welcome to another week. I hope you rocked your weekend. I had a lot of fun checking out the Toronto Aquarium, spending some time with my best friends from university and of course, doing the Waterloo 10 KM Classic race which I will have a full review of for Friday. I have received… Read More…
Q & A with Jessica K
Good morning. Welcome to Friday! It has been the kind of week that was so busy that I woke up Monday morning feeling stressed. As always, it was much more manageable than I expected, but it was definitely one of those blink-and-you-miss it weeks, which is perfectly fine because it brought me closer to my… Read More…
