Time for coffee, people. Every month, I like to switch gears a little bit and have a chat about things in my life that have nothing to do with running. Basically whatever I would talk about to you if we were sitting across from each other at a coffee shop. The featured image always has a bit… Read More…
POCAR Race Report
Good morning! It’s been a couple weeks past POCAR so it is time to do a recap before it completely fades from memory. This was my very first winter rogaine race so I literally had no idea what to expect. All I knew was that it was supposed to go down to -15C (5F for… Read More…

Momentum Monday: RUMBLE Giveaway
Hey there, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I got in a solid long run and it was hands down the best long run of 2015. Everything felt great and 24 km sailed by. I ate a bowl of Love Grown cereal before and that was new for me. I am going… Read More…

Why I Work With a Naturopath

Resource Wednesday: What To Do When Night Runger Hits
Oftentimes before bed, I will feel satisfied, if not a little hungry. I am one of those people who can eat moments after they open their eyes in the morning and I often have a small snack before my morning workout to keep me going. I am not a big fan of eating before heading… Read More…
Race Report: RAID THE HAMMER
We made it! Happy Friday, lovelies! It has been a bit of a roller coaster this week and I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend with a night out with some friends tonight and brunch, a KONA party and a Starbucks visit filling up the rest of the weekend. First things first though –… Read More…
Mental Health for Athletes
You guys are so supportive. Thank you for your high fives on my triumphant return. In typical fashion, I delayed the progress by doing the RAID THE HAMMER this past Sunday and although my physiotherapist and coach probably threw something across the room when I told them that I participated, they are both athletes themselves… Read More…
