It’s only fun if it’s fun

Hi Everyone!   Hope you’re all getting out to play in the snow dump we got yesterday. I know that for many a huge weather event like this can cause serious disruptions, struggle and hardship. That’s not to be dismissed or taken lightly. But for many of us (especially if you’re in the under-20 crowd), […]

Charging Forward

Hi Everyone!   Hope you’re all figuring out your layering and bundling for running this winter. I’ve made a few misjudgements this past week, but I think I’m getting the hang of it again.   You know what else I’ve been feeling these past two weeks – besides cold? All of your positive energy and […]

Rekindling

Hi Everyone!   As we re-enter the now familiar routine of closures and restrictions, I think it’s more important than ever to look at our goals and resolutions for 2022. Not in the “I want to improve myself” sense, but in the “what excites and drives me” sense.   I agree, at this current moment, […]

Adjusting our sails

Hi Everyone!   Hope you’re all having happy and healthy holidays. I know this year they’ve been filled with a fair bit of anxiety and plan changes for most, but man – are we ever working and strengthening those resiliency muscles!   I’m currently surrounded by and hanging out with windsurfers. A different species from […]

Control what you can

Hi Everyone!   Well, what can I say. This is supposed to be a rejoicing and celebrating time, but for many of us right now it is mixed with a large dose of anxiety, disappointment and maybe even illness. That’s not to say it’s all bad – we will still do what we can to […]

Restorative training

Hi All!   Wow, December can feel hectic, can’t it? For most people December is a good time to exercise restoratively. What does this mean? As with most things in life – it’s different for everyone!   That’s one of the things I love about coaching and advising people – there is no one prescription […]

Freudenfreude

Hi Everyone!   First up, congrats to Andrew Higgs who pulled together a 6-week training plan and ran a 3:06 marathon at CIM – just off his PB! (not that I recommend this as a training strategy for most – lol)    Next, just a reminder- ‘tis the season for layers and lights. In my […]

Settle in

Hey Everyone!    First up, huge congrats to all our Tannenbaum runners (and their kids!) who braved the snowstorm and lined up on Sunday! And thanks to all the volunteers and our cheer squad. A “character building” morning. Y’all are awesome.     This snow sure is beautiful right now, but the footing is pretty […]

Character

Hi Everyone!!!   I’ve seen some snow and a bit of ice out there already, so just a reminder to be careful especially in the dark (and wear lights if you can). We don’t need any impact related running injuries!   First up, huge shout-out to Shauna Carpenter who completed the Cozumel Ironman on the […]

Acceptance

Hi Everyone!   Time to start learning to run in layers and with hats and gloves again – winter running is on its way and many of us are going to be ramping up our running and training, so let’s get into it!   I’ve been thinking a lot about acceptance. Not as a form […]
