Well, it’s hard to believe, but we are in the final week. 6 days from now I will have finished running the GoodLife FITNESS 10k race at the Bluenose Marathon! Wow. This week is a “taper” week, or a rest week, in other words. A week to make sure our bodies and minds are as prepared as […]
It’s the final countdown!
Only one week left between me and the Bluenose 10k! Absolutely crazy to think those last 10 week flew by and how far I’ve come progress wise with running. I’m hoping to keep up with running afterwards and get a few more races in under my belt for the summer this year. A huge thank […]
2nd 10k done!
Hills, rain, side stiches, blisters, and a huge pain in the a**.. thats what this morning was. But it felt so good! Running is something that could cause you so much grief but still feel so good when you’re done. If it wern’t for my other Team Myles members enduring this with me (there may or […]
What Makes YOUR Run More Fun?
All this time I had been listening to podcasts for my runs. It was great, stories kept me distracted, a lot of times I was laughing out loud. BUT I think I got a little burned out on the podcast thing because I stopped being able to get through an entire episode without needing to […]
S**t’s Getting Real
Excuse my French, but s**t’s getting real, guys. We are only 4 WEEKS away from race day! How did that happen? I feel like training just started yesterday and we’re already 6 weeks in. I’m still terrified of the 10k, but not really as much as I was a couple of weeks ago (remember this […]
I’m gonna kick this 10ks a**!
Got in a good run today! Ran about a good 30 minutes at the beginning without breaks!! (Minus waiting for a few lights at some intersections so I could go) which way surpassed my goal of being able to run for 12 minutes straight. A few hills, not too steep though and then gave er’ […]
Hills Hills Hills Hills!
I have to say there have been a few rough runs in the mix and times I doubted the progress I was making. But tonight’s hill night was just one of those runs where everything goes smoothly and you just have your head in the game (plus the nice weather didn’t hurt!). Although they might […]
Who is Mentoring Who?
Here I am again, proud to say back this year as one of the first mentors for Team Myles Truro (TMT). As 2017 was the first year Team Myles was held in Truro, we (the first ambassadors) did not have one-on-one mentors. We had wonderful on-line support from the Halifax Team but just not quite the same […]
Blog 5 – Back at ‘er
After being sidelined with bruised chest muscles after a fall two weeks ago, my doctor cleared me to do some 1:1s and encouraged me to keep exercising. For Sunday’s group run, Team Myles Truro (TMT!) met at Lifemark on the Esplanade to do some 5:1s, and although I knew I wouldn’t be keeping up, I […]
