There has been lots of buzz in the media about the new study that showed that women who exercised moderately for at least 30 minutes 3 times per week produced babies with heightened brain activity.* This news adds to a growing list of why mothers should stay fit, active and healthy during their pregnancies. HereContinue reading “My top 5 reasons for staying fit for my baby.”

Wow! People REALLY signed up for this!
Spartan sent a spoof email advertising an over-the-top race yesterday for Halloween. The race is over 666 miles, has the on course mud replaced with blood, and the penalty for a missed obstacle is 300 burpees… instead of the usual 30. Oh yes, and it takes place in hell. The funny bit is not necessarilyContinue reading “Wow! People REALLY signed up for this!”
Rise of the Sufferfests
The launch has just gone off. After seeing the trailer, it’s clear this is a movie that needs to be made. Not only is it a good documentary that shows off the true colours of our sport, it looks like it will have some fantastic character and awesome back stories. Here’s the page…
It isn’t always easy but it’s always worth it
I didn’t feel like running today. It was one of those “haul your butt out of the car and get moving at whatever pace your legs will take you kind of days.” After a week of being sick, I have been chomping at the bit to workout – and with the gorgeous sunny fall weather,Continue reading “It isn’t always easy but it’s always worth it”
Crossfit Mama Knows Squat
It was not intended to cause an uproar when Lee-Ann Ellison posted a photo of herself squatting a heavy weight during pregnancy. But it sure did. It caused a flurry of uneducated but passionate people spouting wives tales all over the internet. There are definitely things that you should not do during pregnancy to keepContinue reading “Crossfit Mama Knows Squat”
Thanks. Really. Thanks.
It’s impossible not to notice. Summer is gone. I spent it in a whirlwind of renovations and first trimester pregnancy blah. Hence, my blog writing frequency has been less than stellar. But I find myself compelled to write with the changing of the seasons and the not-too-distant arrival of 2014 and all the joys itContinue reading “Thanks. Really. Thanks.”
Race report from the Vancouver Spartan Sprint, 2013
This race was a last minute decision for me. When the race had to be moved to June 1st, I was heart broken. Same day as the Whistler Half. What to do. I’ve hardly trained this year outside of running in races. My foot has been engaged in a nonstop cramp all the way upContinue reading “Race report from the Vancouver Spartan Sprint, 2013”
Moving on… AKA inspiring the enemy
I left for my first overnight trip without Ama. It was hard. I missed her. I missed John. To make matters worse, it was to go to a Judicial Dispute Resolution for my accident in 2006. That’s stressful. The whole situation is stressful. And our offers were miles away. Thankfully we came to a resolutionContinue reading “Moving on… AKA inspiring the enemy”
Everyone needs to put the environment in the forefront.
Again… another petition on my Facebook feed. It’s a worthy cause. Obviously worthy, like putting a stop to factory farming or saving the ocean. Not any sort of two-sides-to-the-coin business. Everyone with a conscious agrees. No one would vote for dumping oil tankers in the sea or chaining pigs to the floor so they can’tContinue reading “Everyone needs to put the environment in the forefront.”
Slavery in Canada?
I think after what happened in that factory in Bangladesh (there are now more than 1,100 dead), we are all taking a look at the way our consumption choices directly affect those who make that consumption possible. And for the first time in the history of Canada, those exiting the workforce will outnumber those enteringContinue reading “Slavery in Canada?”
