First game of the season…
“The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn’t move, kick it until it does.” ~Phil Woosnam Our first soccer game was Monday night…we play in the York Region Soccer League, the Women’s Elite division. Our game field is in Stoufville, which is an awful […]
Monkey bars….
If you’ve been reading my posts, and I hope you all have, you’ll know that the biggest challenge for me at Tough Mudder will be the monkey bars! The rest of the obstacles I think I have covered, but the monkey bars have become my arch nemesis! I see little kids on them at the […]
Back from vacation…
“No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one.” ~Elbert Hubbard My week long vacation in Cuba was awesome! I had all the best intentions to train there, I brought workout clothes, my iPhone to run to, my workout schedule…I was ready and pumped! Day 1 I went for […]
Spinning away…
“A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.” -Robert Orben After my 10km run on Sunday, I did a yoga class yesterday and I taught spinning and yoga tonight. It’s only my 4th week teaching spinning so the people in my class are still relatively new to spinning. As […]
Sporting Life 10km…
“NEVER.STOP.TRYING” -Me I think I’m destined to always run races in the rain…but if I end up running a personal best every time, I won’t complain. The run starts down Yonge Street, so we left our jackets at the car and figured we’d come back quickly and wouldn’t be too cold afterwards because the sun […]
Lazy yet responsible…
I’ve had a relatively lazy week. After the 3 workouts I did on Tuesday, my quad started acting up again so I rested it, didn’t do any running and plyo’s, just went to the chiropractor to get it better. The Sporting Life 10k is on Sunday so I want my quad to be fine for […]
Slim Effect…
Today’s workout was picked by Cris, my Nike Training Club guru. It’s the last 30 minute workout in the Intermediate Series of Get Lean and it was pretty tough! By the end of it we were counting down by 10 reps, trying to wipe the sweat from our eyes and resorting to swearing! Here were […]
This morning’s run…
I was planning to run on Friday, but then I got home and saw the state of our yard after the rain we had on Thursday. It was turning into a jungle, with Trey thinking the weeds were trees for him to go to the bathroom on, so it was clear that I had to […]
Back at it…
“The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare.” – Juma Ikangaa, Tanzanian marathoner After my 3 crazy workout day on Tuesday, my hamstrings were screaming at me yesterday so I took the day off. This morning, I was adamant to get back into it so I went to the gym. Having arrived […]
Full body workout…
Since I couldn’t get to the gym to do weights today, I did the Fast and Fierce, Nike App workout again to see how I found it this time. It’s a 45 minute full body workout with exercises ranging from 30 seconds – 2 minutes in length. Here’s how it went: 1 minute light jog […]
