The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon will always have a soft spot in my heart. It was my very first marathon and if you want to have a perfect guide of what NOT to do, you can read my recap from 2013. This year is a special year because although I have ran it almost every… Read More…
Why I am LIVING for the Smith Optics Ruckus
I’ve spent almost my entire sporting career searching for the right sunglasses. The entryway to my apartment has a rack with no less than 15 pairs of all colours, shapes and sizes to match to different sports, colours of lycra and time of day. I had given up on the idea of having that Goldilocks… Read More…
Test Run: The Castelli Rosso Corsa Donna
There is nothing better as a cyclist than New Kit Day. (Well, except maybe new bike day).

You can put out more watts when you pedal and… Read More…
18 things I’ve learned in 2018
Do things you are afraid of.

When You Are a Professional In Something Other Than Athletics
Choosing to be a professional in something that is not athletics often means long hours in front of a computer monitor . I can be guilty of sitting in front of a screen for hours without taking a break. This not only works against my training in the morning and evenings but also will erode… Read More…
Getting Into Spring Shape
Advertorial: This is a paid piece of content. This past weekend, I went on my first outdoor ride of the season and while it was awesome to be back on the roads, it also showcased a few areas of weakness that I need to work on for the coming season. Honestly, I feel like no… Read More…
Don’t Go Cold On Your Warm Up
When you go for your regular workout, you wear the right clothing and you bring the right refillable water bottle. You load up your song list and you get yourself ready to run along to the beat. Preparing yourself for a workout also takes a mental prep, whereby you talk yourself into walking into that… 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…
