What’s a pseudo-celebrity? It’s what my husband calls me. He thinks it’s funny that when we go out places people who are in my classes come say hi to me, or people recognize me or my name when I’m in random places. Sometimes they know me as, “That Zumba Girl” or “The Fitness Instructor” but […]
TomTom Spark Cardio + Music GPS Fitness Watch
Have you ever been out on a walk or run and wished you could use just one device instead of three or four? Personally I use my FitBit, then my Polar M400 for my GPS and heart rate tracking and my phone or iPod for music (and then spend most of my walk or run adjusting headphones). […]
How to Stay Focused Like Pan Am Gold Medal Winner Ellie Black
Yesterday. after months of writing and talking about her, I finally had the chance to meet Ellie Black! Ellie’s performances at the 2015 Toronto Pan Am Games in Artistic Gymnastics were nothing if not impressive.

Living An Active Life With Fibromyalgia
Now and again I write about fibromyalgia and what it’s like living with it, but not often. Certainly not often enough considering one reason I started this blog was to show others living with chronic pain that an active life is possible. There have been a number of times I have *said* I was going […]
Your “Build A Home Gym” Christmas List
Still haven’t given anyone ideas on what to get your for Christmas? Well first of all, shame on you! And secondly, I’ve got you covered. Your friends and family might not be able to get these items under your tree by next Thursday morning but they can most certainly order them for you so come […]
Bluenose Half Marathon 2014
Well, I’m going to start off by saying that this week’s vlog is super short. As in less than two minutes short. Why? Well I spent most of the week power working in order to catch up from taking so many days off sick the prior week, which means I didn’t do anything interesting or […]
2013 {Mostly} In Pictures & {Mostly} About Running
2013 was the year of running. I consciously made an effort to run more this year because I knew my body needed the cross-training (my regular cardio = Zumba which = mostly lateral movement), and the only way I can make sure I run? Sign up for lot and lot o’ races. Race #1 […]
My 2013 Race Season is OVER!
Yup, as of about 9:45am Sunday morning my race season is over! Sunday was actually the first time I’ve run since my half so it wasn’t my speediest but I covered the 7km in 44:19 which I was still happy with! I’ve run more races this year than any other year in the past, and aside […]
Nike Womens Marathon in San Fran 2013
It’s so hard for me to believe that after so many months of fundraising, training and waiting my trip to San Francisco came to a close a week ago. Last week at this time I was sitting on an airplane for what felt like the thousandth hour heading back to the east coast. There is […]
Yogi Clothing
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Yogi Clothing about doing a review of their clothing on the blog. I took a look at their site and when I saw the beautiful clothing they make I excitedly said, “Yes please!” I picked out a couple pieces and a week or so later I got a […]
