Take the time to enjoy the time with those you love. 👨‍👩‍👧❤️ — Family run for coffees. ☕️ Ended up being too hot for the playground once we got there.

What do you eat before, during, or after you run? — Any fueling favourites to get you energised just before or to keep you going through your run? — No, I didn’t eat the whole box. Though over the course of what seemed like only a couple of days (likely a week+), our family did eat the entire box. Now, BIG KUDOS to my wife and her amazing culinary skills, turning out some amazing desserts and other banana based deliciousness. I’m definitely more of a “eat them straight up or

What do you think about while you’re running? — Do you let the mind wander? Stay focused on the task at hand? Or does it vary wildly depending on the moment/run/workout/etc.? — Some days for me it is a wandering mind, going over everything on my plate at the moment. A lot times that’s a good thing because it also help clear up and gain focus on one or a couple of those items and breathe some clarity into it. — Sometimes my mind is just off wandering for wandering sake. — Then

How do you clear your mind? — This past Sunday my head was in a funk in the morning. I had already planned on heading out for a run, but was debating my options and second guessing what I wanted to do. My head wanted a roaming run in a new area. My body wanted a “go to” track and hill repeats. Deep down I wanted the hill repeats as well and didn’t feel like running to the new area in order to go explore. Plus I felt like I’d be dodging a hard work out and regret it lat

Do you like hills? — Are you eager to run up one and then the next? Or do you loathe the thought of yet another hill? — Personally, I’ve never met a hill that I didn’t like. Without fail I always get a big smile, laugh out loud, and mutter, “Here we go, ha!” — For training/everyday runs: I run the hills and a bit over the top, and then keep going if I can. I’ll have to try and find the podcast but it told me that this is a great way to build endurance and a low chance of

What do you think of my posts so far? — Helpful? Confused? Unsure? Telling all your friends? 👍🏻😉 — Figuring out what we want in life can be difficult. Not to mention what we should be doing with our lives. For me, this is one piece to figuring that out for myself with the theme of and in the context running (if you haven’t guess by now, ha!). So let me know what you think, the good and the bad, as I’m happy to hear it and open to the feedback. 😊 — #lifecoachingworks

What stops you from going on your run or exercising? — Is it life in general? Lack of motivation? No goal? Lack of planning? — For me it tends to be overthinking it. I’ve worked recently with my life coach on a number of things. One of the keys things was doing some form of exercise in the morning, after tending to my child but before work. A lot of times I found myself thinking, oh it’s already this time, I need to get online (I work from home) and get working. Realisti

What are you looking forward to in 2019? — Is it change? More of the same constants, that bring you joy? Or, a bit of both? — For me both. Definitely love the constants of my family and the joy they bring to me. Definitely looking forward to a new year and what it has to offer and bring. — Running wise, looking forward to building back a solid base after being out for 6 months (till I was back to normal running) in 2018 due to a toe injury. So no races planned at the mo

What makes you smile during a run? — Selfies? (Even if shot through a waterproof case - Ha!) Rain runs? Running with friends? How about taking selfies on rain runs with friends? — Rain runs are a truly wonderful experience. Sure thunder can be scary and lightning unsafe, but a simple run through the rain can be fun and invigorating. The unexpected downfall of rain can test your fortitude, testing your will to carry on with your run. Or, it's a quick switch to pretend y

Ever find yourself on a run and next moment come across a beautifully peaceful place with an awesome view? — I was just out yesterday (Dec. 27th) making my way back on a run from Lysterfield Park. In all it was supposed to be a 10km run, one that my wife had done a bunch and been praising it’s beauty. — Well, she ran to the park and I drove down with our daughter to meet her. The original plan was play and swim on the beach, but our little one had other plans and decide
