I do not even know where to begin this blog post. Yesterday was a pretty big day for me. I ran the Sporting Life 10k in Toronto… and WON!!! Winning was a pretty amazing feeling but even better than that was how confident I felt doing it. Now let’s back up a moment, last … More Sometimes you surprise yourself…
Yesterday I spent the afternoon with my dad. My dad is awesome!! Unfortunately for him he is a victim of dementia. At 56yo he has been on the decline with dementia for over three years already, and the decline is only speeding up. For a healthy person my dad has had a horrible bill … More Ride/Run for Heart!!
The goal for around the bay was to run a smart race. If you have read some of my previous race reviews you will know that, that is something I often struggle with. The plan was to go out conservative at 3:55 for the first 8km. Then provided I was feeling okay drop that down … More Race in Review: ATB 2016
I have decided to write some blogs on my training again. I think I was most focused on my training when I was training for Boston last year. At that time I was blogging more about my training. So here it goes! Well I have made some pretty big changes when it comes to my … More Training 2016 edition
Needless to say I did not sleep well the night before… But I never expect to so it did not phase me. I was up at 4:45am. Made my breakfast and got ready to get outside and face the elements. I met up with fellow SPR angel Sarah Elliott to load on to the buses. … More Race in Review: The BOSTON MARATHON! April 20, 2015
I split this blog into three parts pre race, the race and post race. Once I started writing I just kept going! Hope you enjoy! I am not really sure where to begin when writing this post. Even though it is three days post race I am still somewhat in shock as to all the … More Race in Review: The lead up to Boston
As I sit here looking out the window on this beautiful spring day (finally) I am left with the argument in my head as to run or not to run. It is after all taper week and rest is the most important thing this week but it always amazes me the amount my brain wants … More Road2BOSTON: Training Log 5
Another day, another race done. This one was tough to get into race mode as I am just coming down from some pretty intense and tiring marathon training. This past week I have had some soreness and due to my approaching goal race I feel as though I am being hypersensitive to any sign of … More Race in Review: Harry’s Spring Run Off Toronto Apr 4, 2015
Since my last blog (which I realize has been a long time now) I have built up my mileage quite a bit! The second half of January started off with an intense tempo workout. It was 18km worth of tempo and total of 27km. It was a great workout! I was able to complete it … More Road2Boston: Training Log 2
Today I set out to do two things I do not like doing: racing in the cold and staying on pace. The goal of the race for me was to stay on pace and have a smart/strong race. I felt after STWM that I needed to prove to myself that I could run a smart … More Race in Review #2: Hamilton Road2Hope Half Marathon
