The name of this blog is a bit of an exaggeration…maybe. My intent with this blog is to discuss the quick transition that can happen from injured to return to run to training to overreaching. The definition of overreaching is: ‘defeat one’s own purpose by trying to do more than is possible’. I actually laughed … More Tipping Point
What. A. Year. As I sit here thinking back on the year there are so many things that are quite literally mind blowing. Like did all of that actually happen in real life or are we all going to wake up from this crazy dream when midnight strikes tonight? Unlikely but I will not, totally, … More 2020 reflection
…Lucky for me I love my work! And I feel fortunate to be able to gradually head back to work. When we head back to work on Monday, it will be 76 days since I last worked in The Runner’s Academy clinic on St. Clair. Two and a half months of working from home, trying … More Back to work I go…

Goals: the object of a persons ambition or effort; an aim or desired result. -Google dictionary I am a very goal driven person and I love working towards goals possibly even more than I love to actually go through the act of attaining the goal. It is going to take me some time to reflect … More Rotterdam marathon review
Are you having some self identity issues since finishing your goal race? Do not become victim to jumping back in to full training and risking injury and/or burn out. Take some time to explore things outside of running that can have a positive impact on your running. Well as I have been harping on in … More My goal race is done… now what?!
I am still taking time to process this race. And of course what I want to learn is how do I make it all come together again like I did in Chicago. One of my biggest learnings is that you don’t MAKE it happen you LET it happen. Big difference. I was lucky to get … More Chicago Marathon 2017 season reflection
