http://simcoefitnessseeker.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Monday, 29 April 2013. The Good Kind of Exhaustion. Wing Walker Jane Wicker is a favourite at the Base Borden Air Show. I haven't seen any dates for this summer's event yet, but if you live in the area, consider checking it out. These pics were taken June, 2012. We can share in the "good exhaustion" feeling! MEC Barrie Race Three! S" mind couldn't help but think, "I wonder where Mr. P. Tom hides out during the day? Can you imagine if it was during an argument with her partner? I'm going for a wing walk!

Simcoe Fitness Seeker: March 2014

http://simcoefitnessseeker.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 18 March 2014. Started posting running progress with National Post's EachCoach.com. Got published for my little 25K blurb last week. This is a great little motivator! They send you encouraging emails every week with an option to give them another update towards your goal(s). Remember that day when we ran against hurricane force wind gusts and needle-like hail pellets? And the rabid, gnarly, crazed German Shepherd dogs snapping their drooling vampire jaws close at our heels, remember? Speaking of...

Simcoe Fitness Seeker: Musings of a Mississauga Marathoner

http://simcoefitnessseeker.blogspot.com/2014/05/musings-of-mississauga-marathoner.html

Tuesday, 13 May 2014. Musings of a Mississauga Marathoner. This is me at the beginning of the race, fresh and feeling confident, waving at the camera man. (Although it looks like how I run on trails, with my hands out, anticipating an imminent face-plant after tripping over tree roots.). Hello, my name is Sandy. I am a Blog Procrastinator. There, admitted. Short and sweet. Let's move on. I am also a marathoner, for the second time in my life. Ran my first one in 2010 and vowed NEVER AGAIN. Let's fast-for...

Simcoe Fitness Seeker: June 2013

http://simcoefitnessseeker.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Monday, 24 June 2013. Poitras Pushes Past Pain to Podium. My muscles were no longer a seething Revolutionary Tribunal and seemed to have given up on complaining . . . I realized all of a sudden that even physical pain had all but vanished. Or maybe it was shoved into some unseen corner, like some ugly furniture you can't get rid of. (. What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. A Memoir. Not me. But I did. And I did. Perhaps THAT was my motivation: a literal podium fashion statement? Leading up to the.

Simcoe Fitness Seeker: May 2014

http://simcoefitnessseeker.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Friday, 16 May 2014. Pole Fitness: For Body, Mind and Sexy Soul. There I was, my 50-year-old self, with two 20-something gals, in a cosy studio, curtains drawn to the outside world, some great music playing, a wall of mirrors and about half a dozen shiny vertical metal poles. This is harder than it looks (squeeeeeze those thighs! But oh so much fun! It was my first pole fitness class. I was pumped! OK and a little nervous. Feel sexy about doing it – why not? Fireman's Spin" at Rock N Pole studio. 8220;I ...

Simcoe Fitness Seeker: July 2013

http://simcoefitnessseeker.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, 25 July 2013. Running Tales and 5 Peaks Trails. Oh to be fearless as a child on the trails! Loving the "unstructuredness" that comes with summer. Not chained to the desk very much these days, but still plodding along with workouts. Actually, plodding seems negative, so how about "bursting forth with positive energy" on an every-other-day basis. 5 Peaks Adventures Continue. Thrive Team in 1st Place So Far.). Key word) race: twelfth out of 12 women in my age category, at 1:36! My husband compares...

Monday, 7 April 2014. Fear and Self-Loathing in Utopia. Serves One Disillusioned Runner. Add Laughter to Suit Taste.). Today I stumbled upon a guaranteed recipe for fear and self-loathing. I will share it here with the hope that it will prevent other non-Olympic level, everyday runners from falling into the same trap. For most people this will probably read as "Duhhhh, obvious," but clearly, not for me, not today. As usual, I like to inject humour, because it makes me feel better. Sign up for a marathon.

Simcoe Fitness Seeker: February 2016

http://simcoefitnessseeker.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 2 February 2016. My custom tank, front and back, displays nearly 30 race medals. Several posts ago I asked the question, "What to do with all these race medals? And then I hung them on tree branches and took artsy photos of them. That was funny and interesting. But afterwards, they all went back into the closet. Until last month. That's when I stumbled upon a web site that offers design templates that allow you to place an all-over print onto clothing. The photo I uploaded to make the shirt.
