So yesterday I wrote about my awesome Mother’s Day weekend, but I left out one of the best parts about it… The Sporting Life 10k! You may remember that a few weeks ago I won free race entry in this race courtesy of a giveaway sponsored by Chobani Yogurt on Morgan’s blog “Life After Bagels”…. Continue Reading
For the past week and a half I’ve been feeling like poo. Feverish, tired, achy, cold… ya know the drill. You may even recall from my Motivation Monday post that I’ve been having a hard time waking up in the morning lately. Well on Wednesday the fatigue and fever turned to immense …… Continue Reading
This is a rare Saturday night post from me – but I’ve got some thoughts in my little head that I need to share with y’all… It happened again… The post-race blues. This happens to me with every.single.race. I put so much effort into training that after the race not only am I ready for… Continue Reading
Some of you may recall that I *just* missed a Sub-2 hour half marathon at the Scotia Bank Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon last October. While I was very proud of my finishing time, I was also a tad disappointed that I was a mere 31 seconds shy of finishing under 2 hours. So with the… Continue Reading
It’s no secret…. I LOOOOOVE running. It is definitely my soul-mate exercise – nothing (and I meen NOTHING) in the whole wide world makes me feel more energised and happy than a quick tempo run or a long slow distance run. After a good run I have an incredible amount of patience for my family… Continue Reading
One of the things leading to my decision to get an iPhone 18 months ago was the sheer volume of apps available for the running enthusiast. Since then I have tried out quite a few of them – some were awesome, and truthfully, some were really bad. Here, after 18 months of running with my… Continue Reading
Recently I was faced with that dilemma with my lunch time running buddies at work. I got all dressed in my gear and was ready to run. I went to the elevator bank to meet my running buddies – three of them were supposed to meet me, so I waited. …and waited… …and waited… ….10… Continue Reading
Over the past little while I’ve been helping a few Twitter friends and some in real-life friends get started with running. Each one had the same question: What do I need to get started? My answer was the same to each one: SHOES! That’s the beauty of running, other than a very strong case of… Continue Reading
Just because it’s snowing out doesn’t mean you have to stop pounding the pavement – here’s a few tips on how to take the chill out of your winter run so you can enjoy it too:… Continue Reading
Monday night I went to WalMart after the kids went to bed to do some Christmas shopping. I had a few things on my list (stocking stuffers, wrapping paper, tape, gift tags, food for our lunches, etc…) and had planned my outing to be a “quick trip”…..Instead I got caught up in the moment and… Continue Reading
Because we want to stop looking like this when we run…. Running Rachel and I have teamed up to put together a fun little year long challenge for the online running community – the goal is to inspire us all to run as many miles in 2012 as we can. We’ve called it the “Doh!… Continue Reading
I have a kick butt awesome employer who lets me come in earlier/stay a little later so I can work out on my lunch hour. (Side note: My employer rocks!). While I’m really thankful that they realise the value and benefits to both me AND them for allowing me this flexibility, there are certainly some… Continue Reading
