Good news about my bike! It came home from the Dr. today and they were able to fix the rim for only $20 – whoohoo. Considering it already just got a new chain and hub that was very, very good news. I was worried I would have to buy a new rim [...]

I found this out the hard way last night. I got home from my weekend on the Island and since it was a nice evening decided to head out for a quick bike ride with my roommate. We were only out for about 45 minutes as it was late and I still needed [...]

I’ve been back over on the island visiting family this weekend so it’s been more island workouts. Comox is the BEST place to be on the August long weekend – there is a great artisan festival complete with entertainment (Spirit of the West being one of the bands – my favourite!) Nautical days [...]

Wednesday was my speedwork day for running…a 10K run at race pace followed by some intervals back at the gym. I generally love running days – I get a great sweat on, feel good afterwards and it’s always a strong workout. But I’ve also come to the conclusion that I DON’T love running [...]

I was having a conversation with a couple of my favourite workout buddies at the gym the other day and we all agreed that summer is a REALLY tough time to stick to diet plans. Working out – not a problem – the motivation to keep the bikini body combined with beautiful days for [...]

Today was my hill training ride…my program has me scheduled to do a three hour ride on Sunday’s including one of the local mountains. For the last few weeks I have been doing a mountain ride every weekend – but JUST the mountain – as in I would drive there, ride the mountain and [...]

I have been VERY negligent about updating the blog lately! Seems that’s what happens when you go on vacation. I am now back to reality and a new routine though – the reality part isn’t that great but I’m VERY excited about the new program. Devin put a lot of work into [...]

I have spent the last 10 days on vacation – first in Comox for Canada day, then over to Crescent beach for a week and as I type this I am sitting on a patio on the sunshine coast watching waves crash in on the ocean – it’s pretty stunning!
I’m over on the sunshine coast [...]
