I have a confession. I am addicted to sunglasses. I have a hanging rack by my front door full of every colour, shape and size. I had a beloved pair of Oakley Jawbreakers (as 99.9% of the cycling population does), but when I spotted the Flight Jackets, I knew I needed them. I ride with an… Read More…
A Tale of Two Marathons
I had promised a NYC recap since the beginning of the year, but I was focused on catching up at work and getting ready for my trip to Washington and Oregon. I know that many of you had followed the marathon on Instagram over the weekend and I can honestly say that it was one… Read More…
2017 Race Schedule
I think I very well get the worst friend of the year award. Recently, one of my closest university friends let me know she was engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid. My response was: “As long as it isn’t on one of my race weekends.” What I really meant was as long as it… Read More…

Momentum Mondays: When Training Sucks
Well, we have hit June running full steam but I am relieved to have a few more things in order. I moved in with my sister this weekend for a couple months and it is WONDERFUL to not feel like I am transient. I have ONE MORE MOVE in September and I will be settled… Read More…
Goal Setting for November
Well hello friends. I hope you are well rested and ready to tackle the week with the extra hour you had this weekend. I spent some time checking out a new restaurant in Kitchener called Pure. I had the Chic P Zen bowl with Angela and Nina. Sunday, I headed to Hamilton to cheer… Read More…
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…
