Kusam Klimb weekend recap

This past weekend I headed up island to tiny town called Sayward to take part in the Kusam Klimb. There were seven of us and four of the girls had done the klimb* before but this was my first time. When we arrived in Sayward we went to the Elk Haven Cottages where we were staying for two …

I did it!

Back in January I made one of my goals for 2014 to start back at the gym lifting weights again. Well, I finally did it! Yesterday before yoga I bought my gym membership to the Recreation Centre at Royal Roads University (RRU). Since I work at RRU there is no reason why I can't go. …

Valentine’s Day workout & fun

Friday was my flex day from work and I had made plans with Cindy to go a boot camp at Strength In 2 Fitness that she goes to regularly. I thought it would be nice to try a new place and since she and I were going to hang out it was perfect. The class was an hour …

Aqua Fit Class

This morning I woke before my alarm went off and could hear the rain falling outside. Most places have snow coming down and temperatures that start with a minus sign but not in Victoria. We have rain and cool temperatures without a minus sign. Since I can't control the weather I just dress for it and …

Pool Time

I spent Friday and Saturday on my mountain bike so on Sunday I wanted to do something different for a workout. Gwen mentioned at my first acupuncture treatment that swimming would be good for me. I had been swimming back in 2012 at the Juan de Fuca Rec Centre so I checked the schedule to see what …

No Thru Roads

Last night I had a great sleep and slept from 9:00pm until 5:55am this morning. I didn't wake up once through the night or get disturbed by the cats and that is unheard of. I actually can't remember the last time that has ever happened but it was a great feeling and a nice treat …

2014 Goals

So, what does 2014 bring me for goals and things I want to achieve? Warren and I had a chat about these things over our appetizer at home on New Year's Eve and these are what I came up with...plus a few more I have thought of after the fact. Running: Take even a second …

2013 Relived

Happy New Year peeps! I have spent this morning reading fellow bloggers recaps of 2013 and their year of running. They should all be proud at what they accomplished and it made me think that I should do a post like that too. But where would I start? I am not sure of my favorite …

Final recap of my Running off Christmas Challenge

Well, the month of December has come to an end and it has been a great month filled with running, fun with family and friends, good food, great memories and so much more. I am so happy that I decided to give myself the challenge of running 155km for this month. I have never done …

Comparing the old me at the gym

This morning Grace and I met for a workout and we were changing things up from a workout outside. We went back to the gym at Royal Roads and did our workout there like we used to. I was looking forward to the change but I was also nervous. I knew that getting myself back at …
