Burn it Up Workout

I was supposed to do this week’s workout on Thursday last week (I like to try them out so that if they need some tweaking, I can do it before I post) but I had a work emergency and ended up having to wait until Monday. It almost makes me sound like I’m important atContinue Reading

Quick Body Blast Circuit

After last week’s killer leg circuit that left me feeling like I had bowling balls in my butt cheeks for 2 days, I decided to try something different so that I could still run and not wince on Friday. Also, last week we had a holiday on Monday which meant no work! And no workContinue Reading

I’m stoked to be teaming up with Vitamin Water Canada to present you with a series of posts full of tipsContinue Reading

Killer Leg Workout

Now that I have (mostly) uninterrupted access to the gym at work, I am really taking advantage of having an hour to myself to workout (and shower since we’re renovating our bathrooms and haven’t had a shower for a few weeks now). I decided that I wanted to spice up my routine and put togetherContinue Reading

Surviving Monday and a Fun Survey

Motivation Monday: A Temporary Change in Priorities

I don’t really have much to say today. My plan last week fell completely by the wayside. Sick kids, sick me, and circumstances outside of my control made working out and training a non-priority, save for a sanity-saving swim yesterday. This week will be much of the same. My main priority is just getting throughContinue Reading

Dear Santa: Here’s my Fitness Christmas List (hint, hint)

Ah, ‘tis the season when my greedy eyes open wide, my smile widens and at times, a small bit of drool escapes onto my chin as I gaze through the festive flyers. It is officially time for me to put on my selfish hat and make a list of goodies I would love for SantaContinue Reading

My Half Marathon Recap-Part II

I talked earlier about the emotional stuff that came with running a half marathon this past weekend. Now to get down to the bones of the race and tell you about my second half marathon experience! It was cold and cloudy the morning of which is great running weather. After nearly a week of solidContinue Reading
