Compression Socks

Hello there, You're probably seeing the title of this post and wondering how, or why I'm talking about compression socks. Please bear with me. My husband has worn compression socks for years. He has varicose veins, and the compression socks help with keeping his legs feeling fresh. Even when he isn't working out, but is...

runDisney Springtime Surprise

SURPRISE! I didn't want to share earlier because with current restrictions/travel rules in Canada, we didn't know for sure we could travel until right before our trip - BUT we just came home for Walt Disney World, and from another runDisney event - this time, it was the Springtime Surprise weekend.

Changing Your Internal Monologue From a Bully to a Pep Talk

Hello hello readers, As many of you know, at least I'm 90% sure I have written about this recently, but I am back into running. Yep, it's a love hate relationship where I mostly love to hate it 😛 BUT, Since the beginning of 2022, I have been consistent with running, have been following a...

New Addition to the Home Gym

Yep, the journey to self love and acceptance doesn't have an end, it's something we navigate everyday, learning, stumbling, growing...

Mind over Matter, or Matter over Mind

Hello friends! So I figured it was time for a little update. Since I last said I was going to get back into training for running, a lot has happened. First, I didn’t start when I said I would. In fact, I didn’t start until about 1.5 weeks ago. Go me. Before that, I was...

Hitting the “Restart Button”

Let’s Talk Modifications

When people hear the phrase "Modifying your workout" it can often sound like a cop out. I know a lot of people who carry a stigma around modifying. BUT! There is NOTHING wrong with modifying. If you're injured, just starting to get into a workout routine, extra tired, experiencing tight muscles or dealing with a...
