I cannot believe we’re here already! Countdown on the Bluenose site as I’m writing this, 03. 03. 23. 30!!! I’m getting so excited, but so nervous at the same time. The week of May 5th I was in Cuba. My intentions were to run in the mornings before it got too hot. Yeah, that didn’t » Read More

So I’ve been in a slump. I was in Newfoundland a couple of weeks ago, partaking somewhat in the world renowned Newfoundland hospitality and have found it extremely difficult to get back on track. I’m back in NL this week on business and while a somewhat healthy breakfast and lunch are provided, it’s my choice for » Read More

No it’s not space. Not for me anyway. For me, it’s Diet. Yes, that four letter “D” word. And I’m not referring to starvation diets, cabbage diets, soup diets, whatever else there is out there. I just mean a healthy way of eating. For some reason, that area of my “working on me” plan still » Read More

Rating: PG – not intended for younger audiences. Not really, but some may prefer to avoid the subject, I find it’s not talked about enough. To be active you need the proper gear; sneakers, jackets, etc. What about support for us girls with, well, bigger than average “girls”. A proper Sports Bra is what I’m saying. » Read More

It was a few nights ago so it’s getting a little foggy now…. but here’s the main details. It was a beautiful day, t-shirt kind of day, and from the point I remember it, I was running the Bluenose through the streets of Halifax with some friends. Only Halifax wasn’t Halifax, if you know what » Read More

You betcha! They did last night, hell froze over and I RAN HILLS!! Hear that? HILLS! Never in a million years did I think I could do it – never say never they say. I do believe it was a full moon last night, call me crazy but maybe that had something to do with it. My » Read More

Wow, it’s really started. My brain is still catching up to what my body has already realized. We started Tuesday night at the Commons, walking 1 minute, running 1 minute for about 15 minutes in total. I thought “how easy is this! I can actually do this.” Saturday morning rolls around and training in Point Pleasant » Read More
Being in my forties (not saying how far into them!) my goal has been for a while to make my forties the best years of my life. I have a wonderful husband, great friends, a rewarding career and live in beautiful Nova Scotia, what else do I need? Well now comes the hard part. Working on "me". I've been overweight all my adult life and like most in my situation, have tried all manner of crazy diets to achieve a result that never lasted. Time to wake up. I won't get there if I don't work for it and do it the right way. The opportunity to join Team Myles came along at just the right time and I'll have the guidance and support I need to take me on a journey of new discovery. When I do exercise, I enjoy it. It's invigorating and it feels good to know what your body can do. I've never attempted anything of this magnitude before and I'm excited and nervous, thrilled and anxious. Roxanne.
