Tough Mudder – A Recap

Tough Mudder – A Recap

I am a proud owner of the bright orange headband that is only awarded to the insane realms who believe that crawling through mud and racing through elements makes for a fun Saturday afternoon. I completed the race on Sept 28 with a friend that I met in one of the classes I taught. She… Read More…

September Goal Checkin and Five More!

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and you are recharged and refreshed for the week. I had a bit of a different weekend.

July Goal Check in and 5 More!

Happy Holiday Monday! Part of me hopes you are no where near a computer to read this and are exploring or taking a nap somewhere (two equally important holiday things). But since you are hear, I will try and make it worthwhile. This past weekend has flown by. I knocked a few important things off… Read More…

Strength Training for Runners

Strength Training for Runners

I think one of the most confounding things about obstacle races to me is that they appear to join two opposing things: Strength work and running. I am not saying that they cannot be combined and I am interested to observe it all in September when I do Tough Mudder, but by all appearances, it… Read More…

The “Fun” Run? AKA the one where I am a running diva

The “Fun” Run? AKA the one where I am a running diva

I think it all became clear the moment that I was given my own playroom. I had a beautiful wooden toy-box, full of brightly coloured, plastic things that lit up, spun and made noises. According to my parents, I marched over and promptly unloaded every single piece onto the ground and proceeded to fill it… Read More…

The massage therapist who didn’t give a massage

One thing I am finding out about myself as I grow into my adult life is that I don’t trust my decisions enough. I am still learning everything there is to know about me as an adult. I knew me pretty well as a teenager, but there is nothing like belly flopping into the real… Read More…
