I’m back baby!! In the past 2 weeks I have gotten into a bit of a training groove. It hasn’t been all rosy 100% of the time- it is a process- I’m taking it day by day- but I’m happy to report that I had a “4 runs” week and then a “3 runs” weekContinue reading “Things that are working/Things that aren’t”

Come hell or high water…
I’m doing it. I’m gonna run come hell or high water- my post last week where I ran (pardon the pun) down every (quite valid really) reason I can’t be running right now just didn’t sit right. Instead of making me feel “better” or “relieved” or “off the hook” I was just depressed about it.Continue reading “Come hell or high water…”
Je suis ici!
I am here. Life is CR-azy. 2 runs in the past 2 weeks. New job, new kids schedules… I am determined I will run again, VERY soon. I cannot wait for things to settle down, but rather, must figure out how to work within this chaos. Because really, when is my life ever NOT chaotic?Continue reading “Je suis ici!”
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho…
I’ve been away for awhile, we went on our very fun trip to Tofino (saw whales, a bear an eagle, lots of sea lions, surfed, boogie boarded, evening fire on the beach… did it all!) and when I returned I had 1 week to prepare for a job interview. Not just any job interview, butContinue reading “Heigh Ho Heigh Ho…”
Baby steps
Did I mention that I am finding it hard to stick to any kind of programme? There many things to “blame” it on (the heat, the kids being home for summer vacation, my “iffy” knee) but mostly I am staying calm about the whole thing and trying to find that balance between taking the summerContinue reading “Baby steps”
Feelin’ Hot Hot Hot!
My “haven’t run in 3 days” excuse de jour? It’s just too darn hot!! It seems we’re breaking records in the temperature department here in balmy Vancouver… 33.8 Celsius! and while I don’t have too big a problem with it myself I find the kids to be particularly cranky, and of course the last 2 nights haveContinue reading “Feelin’ Hot Hot Hot!”
Grind It
Today I finally get to do a “little” something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, The Grouse Grind. It’s one of those outdoorsy things that I would daydream about while out on my long runs along with kayaking, yoga, cycling, rock climbing, skiing… all things I don’t have time for, things thatContinue reading “Grind It”
She’s crafty… not.
I have always wanted to be a natural crafty kind of gal but it just ain’t happening. I came to terms with my non-crafty ways ages ago but every once in awhile I think maybe with the right amount of patience and a whole lot of heart I will overcome my awkwardness with a glueContinue reading “She’s crafty… not.”
The Slump
It’s official, I’m calling it, I am in a running slump… although it’s unclear as to whether I ever really hit my stride or got into any real groove after the marathon (2 months ago now- ooooo I’d hadn’t really thought about it being 2 months- a long time non?) I have just not beenContinue reading “The Slump”
Strep Throat
The weekend started off promising enough… Friday morning I went for an early morning 5 K- which was a treat as the Ol’ Man was home working on the house so I was able to slip out- and it went perfectly… NO knee pain- I was feeling very inspired and seeing as njb had justContinue reading “Strep Throat”
