Test Run Tuesday: Oakley Flight Jacket Sunglasses

Test Run Tuesday: Oakley Flight Jacket Sunglasses

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

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…

The Happier Side of Hyper

Jul25

The Happier Side of Hyper

One of my most popular posts by a long shot is my Hyperthyroidism and Athletes post. Apparently I am one of the only athletes on the whole wide internet who has had Graves disease and continues to perform endurance events according to the dozens of emails I get from readers. And that sucks. I have… Read More…

Things I Am Struggling With Lately

Running is amazing. Lately I have been crushing workouts and feeling stronger and faster than ever before. I have been listening to my coach and it has been paying off.

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…

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…
