Who else is excited for 2018?! Last year was not at the top of my favourite years ever list, so I wasn't disappointed to watch it fade away! A new year with a fresh start is exactly what I needed. Every year I choose a word of the year, but this year I struggled to find one. Everything seemed so made up or contrived in an effort to sound interesting or exciting. Then the other night I was ...
Workout Wednesday
Last week I spent a significant amount of time planning out the month of August in relation to my workouts! I decided to plan three runs a week and then fill the rest of my days in with at home workouts. I don't have a gym membership right now or access to heavy weights, so I need to be able to work with what I do have available! I own a lot of different workout videos and some of them I ...
Workout Wednesday + some news!
Last week I said I needed a job & last week I got a job working for Running Room. I am so grateful to my amazing friends for having confidence in me and being the best references I could ever hope for! I haven't figured out how to juggle working, life, running, and blogging yet! I am trying to work on being super scheduled and organized, but it's going to take some time especially once school ...
Workout Wednesday
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 ...
August Goals
How is it already August? I honestly can't believe how fast the summer is flying by! The girls will be heading back to school before we know it and then fall is just around the corner. Wow! I didn't do perfect with my goals for July, but it's all about progress over perfection, right?! (Progress over Perfection is one of the taglines the company my sister works for uses and I LOVE IT! It is ...
July Goals Recapped
At the beginning of July I posted some goals for the month and just wanted to do a little update to share how I did! 2/4 isn't too bad, right?! Do my core exercises 4 times a week I definitely have neglected my core and I can tell:( I did not meet this goal that's for sure! Cross train once a week YES! I did some spinning, swimming, hiking and just regular walking. For me I count this as a win ...
Run Ajax 5k Recap
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 ...
Beaches Jazz Run 5k Recap
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
We are currently in Montreal for a quick trip and went for a run yesterday together! I think it was the first time that we have done that while on "vacation" and we both really enjoyed it. It was so nice to get out and explore while getting a workout at the same time! We are planning to do it again today! Here's a quick recap of the rest of my week! Wednesday, July 13: I had swimming on ...
Workout Wednesday
I haven't written very faithfully about my workouts but I have mostly been doing them. I say mostly because come on--I ain't perfect! I won't go back through the past few weeks of workouts or anything crazy like that...but here is what's been going on! I already told you here that I started working with Michelle! She has been amazing and even came down this week to meet me for a workout! She ...
