    My Paleo(ish) Trial – Menu Plan*

    Happy New Year!! I can’t even believe that December is already over–it was a whirlwind month of laughter, family, service and food… oh, the food. Unfortunately it was not a month of running, but I’m back on track now. It was so hard trying to find time to squeeze in a run in the short window of daylight I had, especially when I had so many other things demanding my time. But, c’est la vie. I want to get 2015 off on the right foot. I was able to get out running three times last week despite the cold and snow, and I ran my first 5km race of the…

    Running Goals – Phase Two*

    I’ve been trying to sit down and write all week, but the last few days have been a bit of a blur. And when I say blur, I really mean blurry eyes because Hank the Tank is still teething and has been waking up almost every hour at night. He is still such a cuddly sweetheart when he does wake up, but I’m pretty sure that I haven’t had more than two consecutive hours of sleep in the last two weeks. So, when I “wake up” (I use that term loosely because to me it implies that sleep has happened) in the morning, it usually takes me an hour or…

    I Did It!!!!!!

    I DID IT. After I wrote my last blog post this afternoon, the kids woke up and proceeded to destroy my house. I went from calm, quiet, happy time to being surrounded by a tornado of toys, cashews and raisins. (Note: I did not eat the raisins. They are gross. But Ruby likes them and I am trying to be a good mom. Ugh.) The Hubster got home from work a little after four, and even though I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go out for a run, an escape from the chaos suddenly seemed appealing. I quickly changed, laced up my shoes and off I went. I’m on…

    Run for the Cure*

    I have been trying to write this post ALL week. I’ve barely left the house this week, but somehow it has felt like the busiest week I’ve had in ages… but if you were to ask me what I did that kept me so busy, I honestly wouldn’t even know what to tell you. After thinking quite hard, the only significant accomplishment I can come up with is that I washed my floors. (Hooray!) So. Last weekend I ran my second race. After we finished our first run three weeks ago, I made a goal to try and run one race every month to keep myself motivated. I found a…

    I Love October*

    I love October. There is something so magical about this month, and it’s full of so many things that I love–General Conference, Thanksgiving (Hooray Canada!), Hallowe’en, sweaters & scarves, changing colors, apple crisp and so much more. I’m still in a bit of denial that it’s already October, but I’m very glad it’s here. This year, October also has something else I’m very excited about: my second race! Tomorrow I am participating in CIBC’s Run for the Cure and I can’t wait. (Also, I accidentally write “run for the cute” every. single. time. Ugh.) The Hubster and the kiddos are coming with me again, and this time we’re also running…
