Well, here I am a full two weeks into the Physique 57 8-Week Challenge and I thought it was time for an update. I’d be lying if I said it’s been easy trying to fit in the daily workouts on top of teaching all of my classes, but for the most part I’ve been getting most […]
Physique 57 8-Week Challenge
Welcome to the first Monday of 2014! In many respects today feels more like the first “day” of 2014 because for many of us it’s the first day of getting back into our regular routine. Kids are back in school, we all have a full work week ahead of us (wah!!!!!) and after the fun […]
An Intro to: Barre
It’s been a while since I wrote one of these “Intro to” posts, and I figured it was time to get back at it! And what is a better place to start than with a class that I teach but remains a mystery to many of my participants – Barre. If you live in a […]
My Goals for 2014: The Three R’s
Happy New Year everyone!! Here we are on January 2nd, and it’s time to start making some goals for 2014! I was going to post this yesterday, but opted to go spend the afternoon/evening with this guy (and his parent!) before he left town. I’m sure you understand 😉 I’ve been trying to decide […]
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 […]
Staying Active Over the Holidays {A Giveaway}
Merry Christmas Eve, Eve! 😀 I am on vacation from teaching this week (yay!!!) and so far have done a pretty darn good job working as a lump on the couch watching movies. It’s been fab. But you know what? I don’t think I could bare to do it for an entire week. After two […]
Energy Bits {A Review}
I’ve had the opportunity to try Energy Bits a few times over the past year or so. The company was kind enough to sent me a small tin of bits on two separate occasions so I have had the chance to try them out in a couple different ways before writing this post. Energy Bits are made up […]
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 […]
Valley Harvest Marathon 2013
Happy Tuesday! Here in Canada we are just getting back int o the swing of things after our Thanksgiving long weekend, and I officially ran my last real “run” before this weekend’s Nike Women’s Half in San Francisco (yikes! How it that only 5 days away??). I’ve run the 5K the past few years, […]
Is Your Breakfast Packing a Protein Punch?
I’ll let you in a secret. On days when I have a morning class, my breakfast is pretty dismal. It often is comprised of a couple Presidents Choice fruit and nut or granola bars and nothing else. I use to eat a handful of raw nuts in my car on my way to class but […]
