Hi Everyone! Congrats to Carolyn (and her husband Ian!) who competed in the Barrelman Half Ironman on the weekend! What a long season of long distance triathloning. Way to go guys!! Many other people took part in or donated to or supported or cheered on the Terry Fox run on Sunday. And many […]
Hi Everyone! First up, huge congrats to all our racers on the weekend. Andrew McKay who ran the Erie Marathon. Andrew had a less than smooth training cycle and a tough race, but persevered and ran what most would take as a great result! (we all have our own personal expectations, but putting yourself […]
Hi Everyone! Hope you all had a great long weekend. We definitely have some Fall weather turning up – exciting! As runners, Fall is our season. It’s the reward season for all of those runs endured in the heat and humidity where our legs felt like lead and our bodies craved more water and […]
Hi All! Huge congrats to Mike Greenberg who completed the Penticton Ironman in 10:00:46 for 4th in his age group! And he’s booking his ticket to Kona – wohoo! What I’ve been thinking about lately is easy runs. If you want to get up to speed on where I’ve landed and read […]
Hi Everyone! First up, huge congrats to Miguel who ran the Reykjavik marathon in a time of 3:08 in what sounds like not ideal fast running conditions – wohoo!! If you haven’t seen the pics they’re breathtaking. We’re getting closer to the end of summer, and I see lots of people diving into […]

I’ve been thinking lately about motivation. What it is, how we get it, why sometimes we have it and sometimes we […]
Hi Everyone! Holy, we’re halfway through the summer! But what a summer we’re having. The weather is great, races are on, events and camps and traveling and get-togethers are on… this is one to savour for sure. I’ve been savouring my down-time post Ironman. I’m letting myself do what I want when I’m […]
Hi Everyone! Congrats to all of us who did triathlons this past weekend! Shauna, Tanis and Madalyn in the TTF sprint tri where they all seriously killed it. And at Ironman Lake Placid – Nir Meltzer, Chris Robinson, Eleanor Colledge, Carolyn Steele-Gray, Jon McRea, David Steinberg, Adam Nicklin, and I all rocked it (because […]
Hi Everyone! I don’t think anyone raced this past weekend. Quite a few are racing this weekend – either the TTF Triathlon or the Lake Placid Ironman. Wohoo!!! Let’s go multi-sporters! I’ve been thinking about some of what draws us to big challenges and to test ourselves in areas where we are not […]
