Beets for Athletes and Nova Scotia

Cheers to the weekend! This morning, I am boarding a plane and headed to this: I have a 10 miler of some of Halifax’s biggest hills on tap this afternoon and ending up in gorgeous Lunenbourg this evening.

Goals for October 2016

So did September actually happen or did we jump from August to October, because that is exactly what it felt like! The good news is, I stroked everything off my goals list so even though it was a bit of a wild ride, it was another beautiful September. Here were the goals I set last… Read More…

Just for Colors and Don’t Miss the Magic

Whenever it reaches the end of the month, I always keep a close eye on the goals I made for the beginning of the month and do my best to knock anything outstanding off of the list. This month, it was reorganising my closet: pulling all of the colourful summer clothes out and loading up… Read More…

September Coffee Date
