I guess I am getting used to this new normal. It’s still surreal, this world we are currently living in. I live for the sunny days. Even when I am having a bad day on a sunny day, it doesn’t seem so awful. Still thankful to be able to work from home. It keeps my …

Let’s Get Running
Looking ahead to the next year as a whole isn't something that comes easy to me. Just typing this is making me itch with anxiety (for real, my arms are itchy). I have decided to start planning my races for next year. I will be running all as a Worth Living Run Ambassador to bring …
It’s Okay to Just Survive
This time of year can be rough. Everyone is talking about their resolutions. Commercials on TV are trying to sell you a new life: weight loss, gym memberships, etc. This does start well before the holiday season, and can be overwhelming as shit. I've done the resolution thing, and I've also done the intentions thing. …
Running – For Me
My last “official” race of 2017 was the Valley Harvest 5k. It was a warm day. I had a head cold. I managed 30 minutes and I was happy 😃 I chose Valley Harvest because of the beautiful scenery in Wolfville.....and the blanket. Taking all expectation off of myself has given me back some of …

Looking Back….Looking Ahead
So here we are. 2016 is slowly coming to a close. 2017 is on the doorstep, patiently waiting. I decided a year or so ago that I would not do resolutions. It's just not me. It sets me up to self sabotage my well thought out plans. This month has been hard mentally. Deciding what …
Cupping, Christmas, and Weights
Yes, let's talk about my back shall we? When I arrived at the Saint Mary's University Lifemark location, my RMT asked me the usual questions: How are things? What have you been up to? What are we working on today? Welllllll... December is a hard month. More so for those of us who suffer from …
