New Year, Same Me (But Better)

How the heck was your first week of 2019? I was loving all of the goal setting (and those of you who are totally against it) on my social media feeds over the past week. No matter where you land on the matter, I think that we can all agree that improvement is a good… Read More…

Dealing With Stress As An Athlete

I am finally getting to the list of post requests that I received over the summer. I was asked about my daily routine and how I handle stress as an athlete and juggle training, work and life. So first, let’s start with my daily routine. Right now, I’m in my off season and it is… Read More…

Olympic Lifting Update and Finding a Place to Practice

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Fit4Less. The opinions and text are all mine. I have been taking an Olympic Lifting class and it has taken me completely out of my element. The movements still feel very foreign because they tend to be the opposite of what I do in… Read More…

Goals for February 2018

The best thing about it being February? It means that we made it through January! I am not saying it wasn’t a good month, just that the weather in this part of the world has been ruthless. I have been perpetually mopping up salt from my floors, adding an extra layer to my clothes and… Read More…

This is a question I have fielded quite a bit since my Ironman this past summer. I have stood on the podium for both an Ironman and a multi-day adventure race so am equally competitive in both sports.  The other element that makes this a fair analysis is that I am deeply passionate about both… Read More…

If I were to have one resolution for 2018…

Welcome to my first post of 2018! It was an incredible close to the year for me, full of friends, family, chocolate and playing outside (despite the bitter cold that Canada decided to dish out). I took a bit of a blogging hiatus to soak it all up but I am back and ready to… Read More…
