It’s been a few weeks since my 10km race. It’s taken me that long to process this journey, one that I needed to go on to find my running mojo again. Running with Team Myles was an amazing experience. One I will never forget. I’ve made some new running friends, and I’ve even joined a …

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 …
Not Racing…On Purpose
As most of you know, I am taking this year off from racing. It wasn't an easy decision and I went back and forth with it, until my body finally had enough, and yelled STOP! I am staying away from everything race related this year (well, I'm going to try) because I just need to. …
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 …
Where Things Sit
As I sit here and type this post, it is Thanksgiving Monday in Canada. We had a great turkey feast yesterday, after a very early morning traveling so I could run a 5k at the 25th Anniversary of the Valley Harvest Marathon. I have a lingering head cold, and was thankful I felt well enough …

Why I Am Retiring the Half Marathon
So if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you know that I announced that my half marathon on May 21st will be my last half marathon. I struggled with this decision through training. Even though I started out strong, every bump in the road seemed like a mountain. Running started to become a burden. …
Crappy Sleep, Training, and Yay Team Nuun!
It's been a bit of a go lately This week has been a full one of ups and downs, crappy sleep and some high level anxiety with a dose of blech. One happy thing that happened to me since we last sat around the bloggy campfire: I am now a Nuun Ambassador for 2017!! I …
Races, Brain Melts, and the Return of the FitBit
Okay, So over the holidays I decided that I seriously needed to keep moving this year. Not just for my physical health, but for my mental health. I sat and muddled about a fall half marathon. I wanted something close to home (because I am without my own vehicle, and would need to acquire …

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 …
