It’s Raining Inside

ExerciseRunning

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...

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.

The Big Day

ExerciseHalf Marathon

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

ExerciseHalf Marathon, Run

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...

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.

Hammer at the end of a tough one… #TBT Sometimes things work out and sometimes they don’t.
