Hi hi friends. How about a midweek Christmas shopping reminder? I have been pretty great with getting mine done but I have a few finishing touches to pull together. If you are anything like me, the hardest thing in the world is knowing what to GET people on your list. There are a ton of… Read More…
Bombas Socks: BEE Better
Well hello long lost friends! I missed my post on Monday because I was otherwise occupied. Celebrating Labour Day and settling into my new apartment. I am still backfilling things I need and I didn’t happen to have a ladder, but I had a sister and that came in handy. I also bought SO MANY… Read More…
Recovering Post-Marathon
I still feel like I am getting back into the groove post-Boston. You may have noticed that my posting schedule has been a bit off and I apologize. I will be back on schedule…eventually! I wanted to check in with a quick recap of last week’s “training” which just consisted of 3 races and literally… Read More…
Packing for Boston!

Christmas List for Runners
What a big week, guys. Things just seem to be unusually heart wrenching around Christmas time. This week, the local blogging community was deeply inspired by the incredibly brave response from Robyn Baldwin upon her diagnosis of MS. You can read her post on it here. Another huge thing that happened this week was my… Read More…
Compression Socks and Athletes
I’ll never forget the first time I raced in compression socks. It was the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 2013 and I had chosen a pair of lime green CEP Compression socks. I hadn’t done much research on the benefits of compression gear although I am a big believer in it for recovery now. I… Read More…
Marathon Gear
Hey loves! How was your weekend? I spent most of it working – it has been the most intense workweek of my career so far and I loved the challenge, but my training took a backseat. I am also dealing with an injury right now, so it was wise to rest and focus on my… Read More…
