Today Andrew and I celebrated our 4th wedding Anniversary. We’ve been together for 12 years (we met at University) and pretty much did things in reverse order with the exception of kids: dog, h...
*sigh* With only one week to go until the Vancouver half-marathon baby #2 has decided enough is enough. S/he is apparently done with running long distances, which means I am done running long distanc...
On April 28, 2012 the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay will be making its way through Midway and I am honoured to be a medal-bearer for this event. Rick Hansen is a well-known Canadian who had a dr...
My first race of 2012 is complete (at 23 weeks pregnant). I ran the Vancouver Sun Run on Sunday (a 10K race that attracts nearly 50,000 participants) and it was a fun and interesting experience. When...
I had planned to write about the topic of my feet and running shoes last week but something told me to wait on it. It’s a good thing I did because this post has gone in a different direction th...
To kick off the weekend I thought I would share a few running related links all courtesy of the CBC. The Perfect Runner This documentary “celebrates the modern love of long-distance running by ...
…is to listen to your body. Whether you are pregnant or not pregnant, a new runner or an experienced runner, and everything in between I believe it is important to listen to your body at every...
I had a mild panic attack the other day when I went to the Vancouver Sun Run website and read that there were almost 50,000 participants last year. That’s a lot of people. Don’t believe m...
I kept all of my maternity clothes from when I was pregnant with Lincoln but for one reason or another they are either too big (for right now) or I just don’t like them anymore. Thankfully I ca...
Being a pregnant runner is something that makes me very happy. It takes more convincing to get my butt off the couch but once I do I feel fabulous. Knowing how I will feel after my run is what makes ...
At the beginning of the month I stumbled upon a fantastic and fun penpal program. Lindsay over at The Lean Green Bean is the brainchild behind Foodie Penpals, which is a great way to meet other blogg...
1. Healthy brownies – there is a reason brownie recipes call for a light-tasting oil. It’s so you can’t taste the oil in the finished product. Duh. Even though I knew this to be the...
Truth be told, getting off the couch is quite possibly the hardest thing I have to do lately. I’m fine throughout the day at work (well, mostly), I pick up the boy, go home and make supper (whi...
I’ve been keeping a secret from you all (OK, so maybe not all of you, but definitely some of you) for the past few months. It has to do with running and it also has to do with my ultimate New Y...
1. PB2 – It’s here! It’s here! I’ve had it on an apple and I made STUFT Mama’s three ingredient fudge. I like what I’ve tasted so far. 3. Hockey – Lincoln is...
Sometimes the winter weather prevents me from running outside because there is too much snow and the temperature is too cold. Under these circumstances it is not much fun to run outside so I take it ...
1. Freezer finds – this weekend Andrew went on a fridge clean-out rampage of sorts. He threw out all kinds of food that has been in the fridge for too long and our fridge is looking bare again,...
As I’ve mentioned before we do not have cable, or a satellite dish, in our house. We get one channel (CBC) and we only get that because we have a set of old school rabbit ears that have to be r...
Part of the reason I went back to the same training plan for my second half-marathon is that it worked so well with my schedule the first time around. The second time is no exception. Not only do I l...
Just like last time, Fridays are rest days for me on the training schedule. Unlike last time I will not try, and fail, to provide you with a review every rest day. Instead, I will provide you with a ...
There are a couple of days on the training plan that call for either stretch or strength and sometimes both. Honestly, I should be stretching after every run and, although I have gotten a lot better ...
When I first started this blog (when it had the title Train for Wellness) it was a way to document my training towards my first half-marathon. Over the months it morphed into something different but ...
My batteries are recharged and I am ready to get back into the blogging action. I took some time off not for any real reason other than I was feeling kind of lost as to what this blog was all about. ...
I’ve had my Ninja for over a month now and decided it was time I try juicing with it. I have always wanted to own a juicer but never have. I hear they are a lot of work to clean and honestly, w...
After our family ski adventure we headed to the annual Christmas Party in Midway. The Community Club does a great job each year and there are always a lot of crafts, music and fun for the kids. This ...
This past weekend we took Lincoln skiing for the first time. We went to Mt. Baldy where both Andrew and I used to work (Andrew more recently than me). And no, not Mt. Baldy in California. Mt. Baldy i...
Yep, I’ve been MIA. No excuses but I will acknowledge it. In fact, I’m not even here to write a blog post. I just stopped by to let you know that my plan, and I use that term loosely beca...
This past weekend was the Second Annual Simmonds-Ferrier Great Christmas Tree Hunt. Some people go to a tree farm to pick out a tree. Not us. Some people go to the store to buy a tree. Not us. Some p...
It’s finally December so I can officially let you all know that I have been listening to Christmas music for the past week. It always gets me into the spirit of the holidays and makes me feel a...
The wait is over. I am finally going to tell you about my first experience at Trader Joes in Spokane, WA. Before I get to the details please note that this is our entire Trader Joes haul all laid out...
