This month’s terrible race photo was chosen for a reason. It was almost a year ago when I ran the RunWaterloo Pancake Mile and today I am doing my Mile 23 on carbs or rather, lack thereof. If you need some context for the race and some fodder for making fun of me (beyond what I routinely provide… Read More…
Hazelnut Flour Recipes
For Christmas, I was the happy recipient of the cookbook, Run Fast, Eat Slow and I have had fun testing out the recipes from the book. The biggest change I have made since receiving it is making my own nut milk, specifically hazelnut milk. In principle, I would whirl it up in smoothies, use it… Read More…
Hammering Into 2017 – A New Partnership
As we head into 2017, there are some changes to my partnerships and the companies that I am working with. I like to be as transparent as possible because it does affect you. I try very hard to make Laces and Lattes a resource for you or at the very least, entertainment. What I never… Read More…

We are on a solid one post a week average, folks! Sadly, the trend will not break this week, but I did want to dip in and share some of the things I am learning in my training lately. This past weekend was a holiday weekend for Canadians so Mark and I headed to… Read More…
Goals for December 2015
Well happy Monday! It was a fantastic weekend in Toronto. I joined the Running Room for a new-to-me event called the Marquis de Sade.

Fuelling with Protein for Endurance Events

Goodness Me! pH challenge week 2
There is something about a holiday week that makes me feel like I blinked and the week is gone. Here we are at Friday and I seriously would be comfortable with the idea of it being Tuesday. Regardless, I am completely fine with it being the weekend because that means it’s time to play! I have… Read More…
Measuring your pH and why it matters
It was halfway through the week and I legitimately thought it was Monday. It has just been one of those weeks with things being crazy busy at work and moving and not tapering my social life to accommodate. Despite running a thousand miles an hour, I have had a chance to measure my pH this… Read More…
The Village Juicery
I don’t know about you, but drinking enough fluids in the winter is HARD. Nothing makes me want to increase my coffee consumption like a nice -22 C day and my corner of the world has had quite a few of those lately. In the spirit of keeping my hydration levels up during winter, I… Read More…
What You Should be Eating: Pumpkin Seeds
I have said this before, but I truly believe that eating is linked to how you feel and how you perform. Although food is not the be all and end all, I normally start my treatment of most things with food. Have a cold setting in? I reach for the garlic before I reach for… Read More…
