Hi Everyone! Congrats to Jeff Smith who ran the Sunset Shuffle 5K in the smoking heat. These races in the heat have been testing us! Coming up this weekend we have Tanis and Shauna in the Toronto Island Tri, Leigh Anne in the Muskoka Half IM and myself in my season-ender 1500. And I’m […]
Hi Everyone! Happy August if you can believe it! Many people are now right into their training for fall races. This is the fun time: training is purposeful but there’s still lots of time to add fitness. It’s time to figure out your routines and training systems and try new things and see what works […]

Hey Gang! Happy Canada Day! Hope everyone is taking a little breather somewhere at some point to just sit back and relax, enjoy, and celebrate – in whatever way works for you. It’s just good sometimes to pause and move away from your routine – even if your routine is great and works for […]
Hey Gang! Congrats to all Ekiden racers!!!! I was so sad to miss it this year but was so proud of everyone who ran and cheered. Way to go team! That’s what I’ve been thinking about this week. The concept of having and being part of a team. I’ve mentioned this before, but when I’m […]
