Because I am weird and I know it …

February 6, 2017 by 1 Comment

One of my many quirks is that I often listen to podcasts while training. The upside is that I learn a lot interesting things and kill two birds with one stone, but the down side is that sometimes my training suffers due to one of my other quirks – my need to make notes of […]

Terrible Case of the Past {Amanda Palmer}

June 24, 2016 by 1 Comment

Being completely ready for anything is a fallacy. There is a unique timing for action when readiness meets opportunity. Willingness to fail is a far better approach than waiting for the elusive ‘complete readiness’ to appear. Opportunities come and opportunities go, what you do with them when you have them is what matters. Mostly, nearly, […]

June 5, 2016 by 4 Comments

Life is not a spectator sport. To win at life, you have to suit up and get in the game, train hard, show up and keep standing up up when you get knocked down. Life is meant to be lived, grabbed onto, savored and enjoyed. Photo I often have this conversation, which I hate …. […]

Cross country skiing, like cycling, simply makes me happy. As part of Project Winter Love, I have strapped the slippery sticks firmly back onto my feet and found myself sliding through the Edmonton River Valley on a consistent basis. It has been a few years since I have been skiing and I couldn’t be happier to […]
