Uncategorized – I’ve Got The Runs

Running and Yoga

Hello my friends! It’s been a few weeks since my last post where I talked about where I was at after 8 months of running. The month of March was all about taking my time, not putting any expectations on my runs and really enjoying the scenery. I’m still doing that but I started toContinue reading “Running and Yoga”

I’ve Got the Skates

There is so much snow. Too much snow. And it keeps coming! You think that Mother Nature would get tired of crying these big chunky tears but NO. Have you ever tried to run while snow is blowing sideways straight into your eyeballs? I have. Chef does not recommend! Seeing as the conditions for runningContinue reading “I’ve Got the Skates”

Walk Before You Run

This can be interpreted in a lot of different ways. All of them quite helpful, if you ask me! And I think you did ask me. Otherwise, why are you reading this? When I was an anti-runner, I was a BIG walker. I would even walk in LA. No one walks in LA. If itContinue reading “Walk Before You Run”

When You Literally Have The Runs

Sometimes you have the runs. Literally. I’m surprised it’s taken me so long to talk about my butt struggles. I have what I think is undiagnosed IBS. To be honest, I’m not sure what it is but my butt likes to party. It’s actually been quite a bit better since the pandemic because I realizedContinue reading “When You Literally Have The Runs”

You Deserve a Treat

Listen, there’s only so much a person can write about running before getting hungry and wanting to talk about something else for a minute. Hunger is part of the reason I started running. I was hungry for more. I wanted more of a challenge. More change. More stamina. MORE FOOD. I’ve had quite the appetiteContinue reading “You Deserve a Treat”

Twenty Twenty-Run

It’s a new year baybeeeee! 2020 was, you know, fucked. How fucked was it? It took a global pandemic to wear down my physical and mental health so much that I actually started running! I honestly don’t think I would have started running under different circumstances. I would have continued doing my hot yoga, pilatesContinue reading “Twenty Twenty-Run”

Why Do You Run?

Hello runners! I haven’t released to a new post in 3 weeks because truth be told, I haven’t been running a lot. Maybe averaging two 5k’s a week. None of it felt remarkable and it certainly didn’t seem blog worthy. I started feeling down because running is my new “thing” and if I’m not runningContinue reading “Why Do You Run?”

Zero Expectations Runs

Hello runners! Have you been running? Have your runs been good? Bad? Frustrating? Liberating? No matter where you’re at on your running journey, no run is ever quite the same. For the past month my runs have been what I would consider “mediocre”. A few weeks ago I talked about how I felt like IContinue reading “Zero Expectations Runs”

Winter is Coming

Yesterday in Toronto it snowed from early morning, well into the night. Big, fat, chunky snowflakes that were so beautiful yet intimidating. I have a confession to make. Well, I have two. 1) I didn’t write a blog last week because I was away in Ontario wine country for my birthday. 2) I HAVE NEVERContinue reading “Winter is Coming”

A Bad Week of Runs

Do you ever have a week of running that just plain sucks? A week that feels like your running is getting worse? Like your body is shutting down on you? A week when you’re tired and annoyed and you say “WHY DOES THIS 5K FEEL LIKE A DAMN MARATHON?!“ That was last week for me.Continue reading “A Bad Week of Runs”
