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…
Momentum Monday: Low Impact Workout For Runners
Good morning and welcome to another week! It was a GORGEOUS weekend in South-Western Ontario and even though I wasn’t able to attend the races I had planned due to wanting to be as cautious as possible until I get the all-clear from my sports doctor, I made the most of it.

Momentum Monday: The Terrible Taper
Gooood morning! I hope you all had a fantastic long weekend and a wonderful Easter. I purposefully did not plan much because of the crazy March that I had and used it as a giant reset button. I did ALL the sleeping this weekend and it was wonderful. Saturday night, I logged a solid 12… Read More…
Momentum Monday: Boston Peak
I’m a little unsure of how to clarify this weekend. There was a wholllle lot go down. For starters, Angela left for freaking VANCOUVER on Friday. I may or may not have cried a little after she left. I am so proud of her and excited for the new adventures she will have on the… Read More…
