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 …

Showing family my playgrounds

On Saturday night my aunt said that she would like to go for a run on Sunday morning. I invited myself along and she said that she would be slow because she hasn't been running for the last two weeks. I told her I wasn't concerned about the pace but wanted to spend time with …

Thetis Lake with the family

Today is the first day of our official Christmas vacation and we are both off until January 6th. We have some things planned while we are off and looking forward to filling the days with some fun things. This morning I wanted to get us all outside. It is a bit of a grey day …

Running Blog Relay 2014 is a go

Last Sunday I wrote a blog called Around the World Running Blog Relay 2014 and it raised some interest. I am quite excited with how many new-to-me bloggers and the running bloggers who I was already following were up for the idea. There are about 40 of us interested and so thank you to all you. …

Run Club Christmas

Last night was run club night and I was originally going to write that it wasn't like our typical run club workouts. But I would be wrong in a way to say that. We did speed work and we ran intervals but just not in a typical runners fashion. A few weeks ago we were …

Around the World Running Blog Relay 2014

Over the last few months I have found I have been engaging more and more with some of my fellow bloggers who I read daily posts from. Since some of them have said "Follow Me" on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook I have and can engage with them there as well. That isn't me being creepy …

A smaller group for run club

Last night was run club night and I was headed to it solo because Warren is away until Friday. He was asked to help out on one of the Navy ships this week so he has been gone since Tuesday morning. It isn't a long sail but just long enough for us to miss each …

Snowy stair fun

This morning Samantha picked me up at 6:15am at the park and ride near my house so we could go do a stair workout before work. Just before I left the house Warren let me know that it was pretty cold out and ask me to be careful. I have that same kind of concern …

A blah day made better by running

This morning when I got up my plan was to do a workout that Piper's Run had shared on her blog a little while ago. It was one that I could do at home since I didn't feel like running. It was a good way for me to do something when I was having an …
