I hail from the frigid Northlands.

Mainly post about running, strength training, being outdoors, and I share pictures of food unapologetically.

Next up - Spartan Trifecta?

I love tacos and coffee equally.
I love what I do for a living but sometimes I forget I'm in a field prone to burning people out. I'm starting to notice good coping mechanisms aren't working and wine is coming out (which also doesn't work but takes the edge off some).

Deep breaths. Meditation. Some wine yeah. Then, boundaries.

I'm a little behind on my 2026 reading list. I wanted to start my second book by early February, but I'm getting to it now. The God of the Woods, by Liz Moore. I've heard good things about this one and I'm looking forward to getting into a mystery.

It's been at least 15 years since I skied at Mont Cascades. Had a great time out there today with the kid and some good friends.

Happy Valentine's Day! Me and my husband went on a hot date to the gym for an extra brutal #HIIT class this morning. I planned to run today but my legs are done in from jump squats, sled pushes, and wall sits. It's too beautiful out to stay inside though.

While teaching myself Active Directory today, my exhausted mind accidentally invented a new shitty mythical creature, the ADMIN CENTAUR. Several hours later I thought of an even better (or worse) one - the SYSADMINOTAUR.

I'm so glad my work week is almost over.

It looks like our deep freeze is finally ending. I'm cancelling my membership at large chain gym. It's 40$ every two weeks and while it's nice enough, I can't justify the cost. I can use the money I save for some cold weather gear, and get outside.

I don't even like treadmills.

Here's a Sunday morning throwback - I was looking for a notepad for recipe notes and found my old knee injury recovery journal, the Kneecronomicon. I haven't (k)needed it in about a year, but it's neat to look back and see how hard I worked to get back to where I am. 🦵

Accurate. I could get rid of my Garmin watch and just power my house.

Got in a good 30 minute treadmill run. If I count the whole thing, warmup and cooldown, I got in 5k. My cardio stays in the right range but my legs get tired. I don't push too hard but I can feel those warning signs. Might mix some biking in to keep it up in a knee-happy way.

No running this weekend but I did get in an hour and a half at the gym yesterday for HIIT and stretch, and went out on the trails for some cross country skiing this afternoon. It was a sunny -8°C, and I didn't wipe out a single time.

Dry January ended a few hours early last night. Oof, alcohol really does throw everything out of whack. I'll be keeping it to a minimum, but I don't regret having a few last night and playing the most chaotic card game ever (Annihilageddon) with some good friends. It's all about moderation.

An attempt to make pad Thai with veggie noodles. It turned out ok but the sauce was SO SALTY. I'm adding low salt soy and fish sauces to my shopping list. That'll fix it up for next time. The colours are so cheery, I definitely want to try more dishes with those noodles.

It was my daughter's turn to pick out the restaurant, and she chose Mexicali Rosa's. It was my first cheat meal of 2026! I even had a spoonful or two of deep-fried ice cream.

My run wasn't as long as I hoped for but I noticed some fatigue and had to slow it down. I'm happy I got it done and I'll aim for another long one on the weekend. We'll be in this deep freeze a while longer, but I'm questioning whether I need a gym contract. I have two weeks to decide.

Monday - rest
Tuesday - 45 min upper body
Wednesday - #Running day

I drop the kid off at his class after school and I'll hit the gym for a treadmill run. It will be shorter today - aiming for 5k in as close to 30 minutes as I can get.

I started doing a short #meditation in the morning. Feels good.

Once I found a gym with room at the inn, I was able to do 6k in roughly 45 minutes. Not bad for a first real attempt and definitely good enough to get me over my anxiety about #running again.

The new gym has been kind of a bust. The washrooms are nightmares and the treadmills are few and usually full. But there's another gym a little further away with more treadmills. I was hoping the neighborhood one would work out for convenience. If this fails, I see some outdoor joggers.

By far the best thing I stress-bought during the pandemic.

I gave in to the intrusive thoughts and polished the dish. I'm so full of regret. I just wanted to see what it looked like under the tarnish but now I miss the tarnish.

I guess it looks ok still. It will eventually react with oxygen again anyway.

It's a good day for a treadmill run! 🥶 I've been avoidant about running since I got that virus in October that wiped out my cardio. I went from running a 10k to not even able to do a 5 in the span of 2 weeks. The numbers will suck but they won't get better if I stay discouraged.

I've decided to tackle some self-improvement books this year. 'Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents' was recommended to me many times, and I finally started to read it. I'm halfway through and wish I had picked it up sooner.

There was a snow squall in downtown #Ottawa yesterday that cleared up to blue skies as I headed to the canal. Here are some pictures I took.
