Compression Socks and Athletes

Compression Socks and Athletes

I’ll never forget the first time I raced in compression socks. It was the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 2013 and I had chosen a pair of lime green CEP Compression socks. I hadn’t done much research on the benefits of compression gear although I am a big believer in it for recovery now. I… Read More…

For starters, I hopped off a plane and headed to straight to Toronto to get my cheer on for the thousands of people who ran the SWTM yesterday, meaning I left all this behind: Angela and I headed down the night before and stayed with a friend.

Final Week Before the Marathon

Final Week Before the Marathon

It’s my last marathon feature before Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon and I hope you all are deep in taper crazies. I wanted to speak a little to the last week before the marathon. I did a feature on the final week in August, but I wanted to explore a little bit of the psychological side and… Read More…

Goals for October

Well. It is incredible how much one month can change the focus on your goals! I am headed into a bit of a different October than I anticipated, but I wanted to set some goals for the month and see how I did on my goals in September. 1. Take up martial arts. B I… Read More…

If we were having coffee: Laces and Lattes style

Ok. It’s time to interrupt regular posting to have a very frank chat. The blog feature of “if we were having coffee”? We are doing that right now. Except it would be a latte for me. I have a confession. I am not running right now. At all.  It’s not that I don’t want to…. Read More…
