The weather man is promising that the sun will be coming back today and lasting for the rest of the week – and not a moment too soon! I’ve missed the sun. I’m generally not someone who lets weather interfere wtih workouts (although I did on the weekend). I do live in [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday was my full body workout day with Devin…we started the workout with “jump-ups” usually my favourite but my head kept getting in the way yesterday and it took me FOREVER to get through them. Will have to improve on that next week. The rest of the workout was better..my pull ups were [...]

I’m over on the sunshine coast [...]

Today my friend and I biked Mount Washington bottom to top and it was a TOUGH ride. I grew up skiing Mt. Washington almost every day in the winter with my Dad but never stopped to think what it would be like to do that hill in anything other than a car. Over [...]

Happy Birthday to Getfitchicks blogger Shannon – hope you’re having a fantastic day!
I went on my bike ride yesterday and it was great! Beautiful weather and a beautiful route. We went out along the water and up to Point Holmes in the Comox Valley, then it was out to Kye [...]

Today is a BEAUTIFUL day on the island! So beautiful in fact that I am about to sign off the computer and head outside to enjoy it. I arrived on the island with my bike so today will be all about heading out for a ride and then maybe a short run later [...]
