Runner’s Spotlight: Meet Missy
This week I’m talking to Missy; she started running after she’d lost some weight to then further supplement her weight loss. She’s lost 90 lbs in total! While I hadn’t lost any weight at all (I just started at 100KG / 220 lbs) I do know that original mindset of running to lose weight and…
Runner’s Spotlight: Introducing Christine
A couple of years ago, funnily enough after my last foot surgery, I reached out to several runners to interview them for the blog. When I am looking for motivation, or for people out there who “get” me, I find it very useful and inspiring to talk to runners who possibly have a similar story…
Bye, Bye, Betty
Today was the day I said goodbye to Betty. Betty and I were not together for very long. About 21 months. Together we’ve ridden at least 4,000 KM in that time and that’s not even including all of my daily commute rides to work ( 4KM per day). When I say that…

2018: The Glass Is.
While I would love to force myself to have the glass be “half full”, I’m going to just stay realistic, not be negative and say… I had a glass this year. There was something in it. I had a few goals: Friday Five – And We’re Off! Really have a savings…

I received no compensation for anything except race entry (and even that wasn’t fully free, because I had already signed up…
A Week In Boston Part II
Now that you’ve gotten through Part I, let’s finish it off with Part II. Even though Marathon Monday was so dreadful, we were still up and at ’em in the morning Tuesday, to be sure we were packed up and ready to go in the afternoon. We arranged our bike tour to be changed from…
A Week in Boston – Part I
Before I start, I just wanted to mention that I did post Week 15 here, the week before we headed out. It wasn’t a complete week, it wasn’t even a great week, I’m a broken record again, nothing new there. I’m having a real love/hate relationship with blogging and I’m not sure anymore how to…
Believe: An April Giveaway
Ladies and Gents… while my week 13 post is still in process… I am happy to share with you the following: Last year, as part of my Rock’n’Blogger ambassadorship, I received a couple of books from velopress, of which one of them was the BELIEVE TRAINING JOURNAL (classic red edition). I had every intention…
Friday Five – 5 Things I’m still learning from Marathon Training
It’s that time again. Though I haven’t consistently done Friday Five, I love the concept and since I’m slowing (after 8 years hahaha) figuring out a better way to blog, there will eventually be more of these from me. So What’s Friday Five? Friday Five 2.0 is a chance to join Running…
