It’s Not Just You

Oct8

It’s Not Just You

“Nothing that just happened here has surprised me.” I looked up blinking at my friend from the floor. I had asked if they wanted a drink and opened the fridge to have the first glass container come crashing out of the door and shattering across the kitchen floor. Earlier that day, the tomato sauce from… Read More…

Chase the Coyote and Rumble

Thank you all so much for your support on Monday’s post. It has not been fun being injured, but I have tried to make the most of it and have been working hard at perfecting my swim stroke! I wanted to talk about last weekend for a second. It was the first race that I… 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…

Controlling Pre-Race Nerves

Controlling Pre-Race Nerves

Heeeeey! It’s the weekend and I am so ready to get outside! We have been hit by a wave of lovely weather and the last thing I want to do is let it go to waste. I wanted to talk about something that I know a lot of runners deal with before a race, especially… Read More…

Sports Taping for Runners

Sep24

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…

Marathon Gear

Marathon Gear

Hey loves! How was your weekend? I spent most of it working – it has been the most intense workweek of my career so far and I loved the challenge, but my training took a backseat. I am also dealing with an injury right now, so it was wise to rest and focus on my… Read More…

Triathlon Tips from Scott

Triathlon Tips from Scott

I have had some heavy course loads in the past in university and even worked some 60 hr weeks at past jobs, but nothing has ever compared to the week I am going through. It is a huge week for work and I am devoting every spare ounce of energy and focus to that. Because I am… Read More…

Variety in Running Training

Sep17

Variety in Running Training

It is one of those weeks where you are hanging on by the skin of your teeth. It is the biggest week of the fall at work and I am not sleeping much, so if this is typo-ridden, you know why. I am on a cross training theme this week and I thought that today… Read More…

Vanilla CocoBerry Smoothie

Vanilla CocoBerry Smoothie

It is starting to feel like fall out there! I keep finding bits of coloured leaves in my shoes and the air has a bit of a bite. That has not been stopping me from getting in some quality swim sessions or spending time outside. I am probably the only female on earth that doesn’t… Read More…
