I often get asked about what goes on in my mind, especially in long(er) races. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions usually for me really but here is a sample of some thoughts from a recent race: Wow, that’s… Read More
I got asked/dared by two people to do one of the i2p trail runs and then both backed out for different reasons. Regardless, I’m very glad I went since it’s always a beauty day to get out there, especially on the… Read More
I had to write something about safety since I was part of two major incidents over the past months, both involving cyclists. The latest was a collision between an older lady who was walking and a cyclist who… Read More
Yoga has been a constant in my life, along with running, for a few years now. I find it’s the best complement to all my other physical activities and such a good grounding exercise. I remember when I… Read More
So this was a humbling experience… I had written a different blog post in my head when I was out there on the swim. But reality set in not long after that… A beautiful setting in the Laurentians… Read More
So it’s been almost two months since I picked up the Basis band and I haven’t been disappointed. The watch does almost everything I want it to and then some. And it gives me the time! How cool… Read More
Let’s just say I had an amazing weekend but it was rough on the body. And I’m not even talking about libations! I was simply being active and hurt myself in a few spots: a cut toe from… Read More
See above for another reminder to carry water, not tension, when you’re out for long summer runs. It’s an OBG (oldie but goodie). I still see people carrying water bottles in their hands and it hurts me every… Read More
So I had a very golf centric weekend, playing at least 18 holes each day and spectating at the 2014 Canadian Open on Saturday after a round nearby. It’s funny that some people don’t consider golf a sport but… Read More
Now weekend warriors have no more excuses if they want attempt crazy events with this new unconventional training guide I collaborated on. Together with Andy Magness, a top North American endurance event junkie, we bring a ground-breaking guide to… Read More
All Natural! Organic! Fat free! Made with whole grains! Have you seen these claims on your food lately? Who hasn’t! My buddies and I always joked a few years back when we saw a fat-free label on pretzels…. Read More
I had an amazing Yin Yoga class last night (first time in a long while I took a class) with the amazing G-Man from Yogatown so I had to share my video love letter to Yin. Enjoy if… Read More
So now that I’m slowly getting back to reality, I thought it was good to get back in a routine that sets me up for success. It also marked the time to look back at my goals for… Read More
Okay, indulge me this one last time and then I’ll try to keep my SchoolBOX trip to myself for a few days. It’s just been that cool of an adventure for me. I wanted to give you a… Read More
My recent SchoolBOX trip was more than a physical experience but also a spiritual one. Some pretty cool feelings came over me over the 10 days: Amazement, pride, joy, disgust, inspiration and mostly gratitude. One of the biggest… Read More
Yes, I didn’t do much running while I was in Nicaragua for my recent SchoolBOX adventure. Something to do with with the 40+ degree weather, the lack of time and the fact that I was pretty beat every… Read More
As some of you may know, I’ve been involved with SchoolBOX for a few years now. I’m even on their Board of Advisors now. I’m a big deal, I know! I even got suckered by new business partner Kimothy Walker to… Read More
This thing is awesome! And I’m not getting paid to say this. I actually had to pay for this tool but I don’t regret the time and money I spent acquiring it. It all got started when I… Read More
I was checking myself out in an airport bathroom on my most recent trip to Windsor (teaching something called ChiRunning here this weekend), and saw two big circles under my armpits. I’m not vain but it’s not the… Read More
I think most of us have ups and downs when it comes to our weight. It’s cyclical and from what I read, it’s human nature. I’m on an upswing these days. I can say it’s because I’m busy… Read More
I listened to another great book during a recent work trip. This book, Grain Brain by David Perlmutter, M.D, has been a pretty popular one so I wanted to check it out for myself. Dr. Perlmutter is a neurologist… Read More
I partook (is that even a word?) in a very cool event yesterday, the SchoolBOX Fun Run for Tracy’s Hope Legacy School. As you might be aware, I’ve been involved with SchoolBOX for a few years now and I… Read More
It’s today! I’m usually not behind many man-made holidays but for some reason, I can get behind National Running Day . I will head out for a nice run through trails near my place later this afternoon after meetings and some… Read More
Want to retire properly? Get your workouts in now! It’s almost like traditional investing where you put money in the bank every time you get sweaty. Pretty weird to read about fitness in the business section but that’s… Read More
What a beauty of a weekend and I got out for some golf, among a few other activities. I hope you got to get some vitamin D as well! Teeing off with some weekend warriors made me look… Read More
