Returning from a Stress Fracture

This is the biggest, probably most exciting week of November for me. Why? I GET TO START RUNNING AGAIN! I has been a long haul and even though there have been a few moments where I ran here and there as I knew my stress fractures were healing, I have more or less stayed completely… 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…

Beet Juice and Endurance Athletes

Beet Juice and Endurance Athletes

I visited my naturopath the other week to talk nutrition and training. I have never talked about this on the blog before, but I am an endurance athlete with Graves Disease which is an aggressive form of hyperthyroidism. Basically, while everyone else’s thyroid decides to slow down, mine wants to ramp into high gear which causes… Read More…

Recovery Popsicles

I am so excited about this week. It had been fairly rainy and temperate here the past week or so, which is fabulous for training, but I am a bit of an outlier in the fact that I love training in the heat. Humidity doesn’t bother me, in fact, I welcome it because I love… Read More…
