This was a big weekend for me. After weeks of packing, organizing and planning, I finally moved into a fabulous condo with my blogging buddy and real life best friend, Angela from Eat Spin Run Repeat. I am actually a complete minimalist when it comes to decorating and most of life in general so it… Read More…
Profile Design and Ironman
I am a bit of a planner. I mean, if my annual vision board and monthly goal check ins are not a proper indicator for you, I don’t know what is. The reality is, I am utterly blown away by the power of putting your goals where you can see them – I have tackled… Read More…
Polar Heart Rate Training
I have made a fundamental shift in my training plan in the last while. Last season, I went a lot by how I felt, but one thing I have found is that I cannot necessarily trust myself when it comes to that. Exhibit A? What I thought was just annoying case of shin splints that ended… Read More…
Change
Ok. It was Monday yesterday. I blinked and now it is Friday. Crazy how travelling for work will do that! It’s not all bad, I was able to take some time and catch up on the brilliant Runners World rebrand. So, I wanted to talk a little bit about change. There are some super… Read More…
Endure Ring
It’s the last Friday of summer. Instead of being depressed about this, I am going to wear as much white as possible this weekend (which may prove interesting as I am going to go trail running with Running Free Orangeville to test out the Chase the Coyote race course this weekend..) Take that, Labour Day!… Read More…
Janji – Run for Another
This week feels crazy short thanks to a Canadian holiday on Monday. I hit the ground running at the office this week and am playing catch up after about 6 days off. An hour into getting back into the office, I was making a presentation to senior management. I still feel as if I am… Read More…
Race Report: 5 Peaks Rattlesnake Course
Hey guys. Guess what I’m not doing this weekend? Racing! Instead, I will be spending some time in Hamilton with some of my best friends from university, sneaking in a long run and spending some time on the open water learning how to kayak. Last weekend, I had a fabulous race at the Rattle Snake… Read More…
Race Report: Creemore Vertical Challenge
Welcome to the weekend, you fine people. This week was a bit of a blur of meetings, training and some recovery from a heavy volume weekend. Speaking of the weekend, I wanted to talk about the race I completed for the first time. I will never forget the moment when I heard about the Creemore… Read More…
ZICO Recovery Popsicles
It is getting WARM out there! Heat training is something I adore because in my opinion, there is nothing more fun than getting a giant, stinging eyes, drip-down-your-back sweat on after a hard interval session which is exactly what happened this week at practice with my team. I came home and drank my regular recovery… Read More…
RunWaterloo Classic 10 KM Review
Happy Friday!! It’s going to be another super busy weekend planned. Two races including my first triathlon, one run event in Toronto and a concert all rolled into two days. You always know it was a perfect weekend when you are exhausted on Monday morning… I apologize in advance – my instagram will be buzzing!… Read More…
