On what was one of our hotter Vancouver summer days recently, I was walking down by the beach with a friend when we spotted an ice cream truck. Actually, said ice cream truck was heard playing “It’s a Small World” before we spotted it, but nevertheless, it led to a conversation about favourite childhood frozen […]
You know when you come back from vacation and your kitchen feels a bit like foreign territory because you haven’t cooked a meal in it for so long? That’s sort of how I felt when I woke up on Monday morning. Normally my cutting board and favourite knife barely have time to try before their […]
This past weekend I spent a solid couple of hours planning, blending, taste testing and photographing fall smoothie recipes for a side-project I’m working on. And yes, this is the same girl who last week ranted how even the mention of a Starbucks PSL was outrageous because it’s AUGUST. Pumpkin is one of my favourite fall foods […]
Long weekends during the summer are truly one of life’s greatest things, aren’t they? This weekend in particular was one of my favourites in a while. I soaked up some sun, cycled around Stanley Park, hung out at the beach, napped, watched epic fireworks, and made some new friends. In a word, it was fabulous. In […]
Throughout my triathlon training, Saturdays have always been long ride days. My time on the bike (usually between 3.5 to 4.5 hours) is typically chased with a transition run (40-60ish mins) that starts within 10 minutes of finishing. The idea is to simulate what needs to be done in a race, and to get my legs […]
Hey there! How’s your day going? I have to admit, all the training I did last week and over the weekend left me waking up feeling less than fabulous on Monday. You know when you wish you could have another weekend to recover from the weekend? Yeah, it was one of those Mondays. It wasn’t that my […]
Good morning, guys! How was your weekend? Mine was absolutely lovely, and so much of it was spent outside which was probably one of the reasons it felt so good. The ash from all the forest fires we’ve had nearby has finally cleared, and our Vancouver skies are beautiful and blue again. On Saturday morning […]
Hey friends! How’s your week going? Mine has been lovely so far – busy with work, but training is ramping back up after an easy-ish post-race week, and call me masochistic but I really do love the grit, the sweat, and the hard work! I think most self-labeled endurance athletes would probably say something similar. […]
As someone who works for a social media management company, I was asked the other day about which social media platform is my favourite. It boggles my mind that when I was 8, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, and all the rest of them didn’t even exist yet, and yet the 8 year olds of […]
I don’t know about where you are, but it’s been très chaud here in Vancouver. After a lunch date with a friend this weekend, I walked back to my car and upon putting my key in the ignition, saw a ’37 C’ staring back at me. (It wasn’t really that hot – within a few minutes it […]
