Travel Tuesday: Valencia, Spain

August 23, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp 1 Comment

I LOVE traveling, especially when the destination is as beautiful as Valencia! If we had a lot of money we would spend it all on visiting other countries. Anson & I both enjoy visiting new countries, experiencing different cultures and trying new things! It doesn't bother us if we can't speak the language or if things aren't the same as they are in Canada because that is all part of exploring ...

Thoughts for Thursday 

August 18, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp 4 Comments

Enjoy a random dumping of thoughts I've been having lately! I miss swimming events in the Olympics. I love the track events but I think I've come to grips with the fact that swimming is my favourite. Please go to Tokyo, Michael Phelps! I like taking the train into work. It's relaxing but I also waste all my battery on my phone even though I have carried the same book back and forth every ...

Workout Wednesday

August 10, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp 1 Comment

It has been hot and humid this past week! I have had possibly the worst runs of the year in the month of August, but surprisingly I'm not feeling too bothered by it. It's hot and I know I don't do great running in the sun, so I've just been doing the best that I can which is all I can do! Here's what I got done this week while sweating profusely: Wednesday, August 3: I hit the trails for my ...

Run Ajax 5k Recap

August 2, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp 6 Comments

While I enjoyed the Beaches Jazz Run 5k I was a little disappointed in my time (28:12) because I KNEW deep down that I could do better based on my training. At the same time I also knew that I had honestly done my best on that particular day so I was still pleased with the day! The Monday after the Jazz Run I saw a series of 5k races that were really cheap but they were in Hamilton. It got the ...

Workout Wednesday

July 27, 2016 By ansonkemp Leave a Comment

A couple weeks ago I said I like to do these posts because it helps keep me accountable. Today is one of the posts where I'm thinking, "hmm! Maybe I should post something else cuz I didn't really do a lot of workouts!" I guess that's where the accountable part comes in--I don't workout but write it down for all to see which helps me kick my own butt back into gear again! You should try it ...

Beaches Jazz Run 5k Recap

July 26, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp 5 Comments

When I first heard about this race, I had every intention of signing up for the half marathon distance as a way to keep myself motivated for Scotiabank in October. As race day got closer, Michelle told me to just sign up for the 5k and I happily obeyed! The weather just kept getting hotter and more humid, so I was pretty excited to NOT be running 21km! My sister in law, Hannah, was going to be ...

Workout Wednesday + I’m Tired!

July 6, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp Leave a Comment

Guys! I am tired! Yesterday I slept in until 10:09 AM which I haven't done in YEARS! I really didn't think my body could even sleep in that late anymore but apparently it can! I'm not sure why my body is exhausted lately, but I guess it means I am being less lazy so that has to be a good thing, right?! The past week has been busy, but good! My sister in law is here to visit; I went for brunch ...

Monday Memory (aka…I just want to share but this is old!!)

July 4, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago when my mom was visiting, we wanted to go somewhere nice for dinner without having to go right downtown Toronto! We discovered Port in Pickering and decided to try it out! I honestly loved everything about this restaurant! The location, the view of the water, & the food! I even loved the look of the menus! I truly felt like I had been transported to somewhere else in the ...

About Me

I am Allison, the lazy perfectionist! Translation - the girl who hates doing things she isn’t perfect at. So instead of trying, my fears of imperfection have held me back. This blog is a written account of my pursuit to be courageous in those things I have always wanted to do--whether or not I do them perfectly!
