Yesterday I woke up bright and early (well, early for a Sunday, but not as early as my normal wake ups for boot camp nowadays) to participate in my second Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Only this year I was participating as a spectator instead of a runner 🙂 I spent Saturday stressing over what to put […]
I’ve got 6 days of crossfit under my belt. I’ve learned how to squat a new way, do a proper deadlift, do a double under, and a number of other things. Our workouts are hard. Heck, our warm-ups are hard – they include dips on the rings, pull ups on bars (eventually to become kipping […]
My two fave running blogs are both running giveaways right now. Eventually I will win something from one of them, but I need all the entries I can get: How much fun are these Headbands marlene is giving away? I want Zensah everything! Well, more specifically I want a running skirt 🙂 Maybe I’ll win […]
Since moving home to Toronto I’ve been able to make it to TIFF every year for various things. One year my dad got some passes from work to the closing film. One year we ended up in the party at Ultra for the opening film. One year a friend had a film in the festival. […]
All summer I’ve been slacking on my workouts. Some of that is because of work (60+ hour weeks doesn’t leave a lot of time for the gym!). Some is because I need a change from my routine which is why even though I’m back to a [more or less] normal work schedule I’m finding it […]
When I looked up the link to the Toronto Women’s 5km to add to the previous post I saw that the 2010 Toronto Women’s Half which is on May 30 2010 is already open for registration. And even with my current aversion to running I am mighty tempted to sign up. I can always transfer […]
I read some running blogs (see my sidebar) and folks frequently seem to host giveaways (lots of people read these running blogs, so they get things from random companies to try out and review. Yes, I’m jealous. Though the idea of that many people reading my blog scares me). I often enter said giveaways. And […]
No internet (okay, there’s internet, it’s just not free) and some free time before my flight boards means that Jenn is going to try her hand at another race report. After all, I’m sitting here in my medal so it seems like a good time to reflect and pretend that folks aren’t staring strangely at […]
Last summer, I avoided leaving the city when there were long runs in my schedule since the idea of running in a new area scared me. This time I embraced it and headed up to the Muskokas for some cottaging. I had a 15km down for Saturday morning, and was thrilled that I was going […]
I have a lot of friends. According to facebook, the number stands at 1158 (which means very little.. but that’s a story for another time). Many of my friends do super cool things. What kind of cool things? Well, how about quitting a good full-time job to move to latin-America and become fluent in Spanish? […]
