I have been feeling very ‘BLAH’ for the last few days and I have been having trouble getting the giddy-up to do anything. Don’t panic, these cycles happen and you have to find a way to shake them… Even if you don’t really want to. Today’s motivation is the #hisnhers Challenge that was thrown down by @SavannahJessie to hit 100KM...
Month: October 2014
Row, Row, Row Your… Rower…
The Bride! Now Stompin Tom sang about that good old Sudbury Saturday Night and while we weren’t heading that far, @SavannahJessie and I had ourselves a busy little Saturday. We had a wedding to go to for @little_muppet and we still have that little #hisnhers challenge with it’s end date looming. Like a normal weekend, we had a lot of...
Switching Gears
Row Command Centre Switching gears? That’s right followers, with the Half Marathon over, Tavia has now begun my training for the Canadian Indoor Rowing Championships with an eye on getting to the Worlds. A tall order? Possibly. I need to shave 60 seconds off my best 2,000m time, but anything is possible with hard work. I’m not fooling myself here,...
Back to The Grind
It has been a long time since I was at @CrossFitCanuck for a WOD. I am still slowly recovering from Sunday’s Half Marathon and my legs still aren’t 100%. Tonight has a simple plan, work hard, avoid the Back Squats and then get Day 1 of my new training cycle (more on that in a minute). Warm-up 12-9-6 Bar Jump...
The Big Day
Well the day is here. The 2014 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon. I was early to bed last night, forgoing the beer and having Nyquil instead (not a fair trade). I was groggy when I peeled myself out of bed at 545am, heading for the items that would be required to get moving this morning. Shower, Smoothie, Orange Socks and...
Calm Before The Storm
It’s 12 hours (ish) before start time of the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon. How am I feeling? To be honest, I am FREAKING THE F&CK OUT. There has been so much going on the last few days; it’s been tough for me to get caught up. Let’s start with my last Run before the Half and then go from...
Baby Steps Forward…
2 Checkmarks… Slowly items on the board are getting crossed off. I had 4 goals on the big board for 2014 and I have now checked off 2 of them. I competed in the CrossFit Open and I have successfully completed my Level 1. The remaining items, well those are going to be a bit more difficult. This Sunday, I’m...
Canadian Gobbler Edition
Earning the Bird! Happy Turkey Weekend!! I hope that everyone got time to spend time with family and friends on this long weekend. Everyone has something to be thankful for, even if sometimes it may not feel like it. It was supposed to be a quiet weekend, but in true Beez fashion, @SavannahJessie and I were all over the map....
Saturday of a Long Weekend
Getting ready to WOD… Saturday’s can be rough, especially when you are out late. @SavannahJessie had some visitors in from Calgary and we took them out to Real Sports. We didn’t get to wild and crazy, but let me tell you, Shock Top will not be anywhere on my list of things to ingest. I felt like a big bag...
Throwback Thursday and an I’m Sorry
Hammer at the end of a tough one… #TBT Sometimes things work out and sometimes they don’t. Wait, now before you think there was bad news on the L1 front, I’m still waiting as patiently as possible for my test results. The wait in fact is starting to make me go a bit squirrely. If you know me, then you...
