I’ve been loving my Box Components PRIME 9 drivetrain. I put a lot of kilometres on these parts this season. On one of my last rides, I smashed the rear mech. Luckily for me, Box has a solid warranty.

One week later, here we have a brand new deeeeeeerailuuuure.

Stop. Breathe it in. Be grateful. -

Seriously...I guess it’s a good problem to have?? 🤷‍♂️-
-
Consistent effort over time provides results. Truth.
-
Don’t believe me? Why not give it a try. The only things you have to lose are excuses.
-
And sooooo much to gain. 💪

15km of xc skiing was a good back workout yesterday. I had no clue 🤷‍♂️
-
But....today’s back and bi workout was ahhhh-mazing.

Dinner prep.

Had to head outside and cool off after my workout. Mucho weights.

This view!!!!!

The mountain, not me. 🤪

Get uncomfortable. Take chances. Work hard. Who knows where you might land.

We never said we were perfect 🤷‍♂️
-
We all try our best, right?
-
But sometimes, you f**k up (hopefully not too bad), laugh at it, and move on. Right ?????
-
Double tap the pic if you feel me?!?!?!

This...is a forced smile. 😬
-
Why? Cuz I roasted my core and almost died 🤘

Was doing some PD on the morning drive today, listening to a podcast featuring . Ahhhhmazing stuff. If only I could write and drive safely. So much good stuff. I will definitely be checking out her book “Emotional Agility”.
-
The above quote is one of my big takeaways today.
-
We all want to make data-driven decisions, because data is evidence (hopefully good evidence). We watch our financial investments, and when the market is up or down, we buy, sell or hold based on data.
-
Gas prices drop? We fill our tanks.
-
Weather forecast is s**t? We plan around it.
-
These are very basic examples of data-driven decisions we make every day.
-
So if we experience an emotion or feeling, why do we often ignore, or suppress that data source? We (including me) aren’t doing ourselves any favours when we discount this important data.
-
Think about it.

The melt is on. Bring on spring.

I woke up to a text from a good friend this morning . Cheryl and I have done a handful of trail runs together, and we’ve been watching each other kick ass in our virtual fitness groups.
-
She asked me if I’d want to do team ultra-marathon in BC this summer. She sent a link and asked me to think about it.
-
I didn’t even look at the link.
-
But what i did do was what I learned from .
-
5-4-3-2-1: I was either going to say yes and start focusing on training, or say no and move on.
-
My answer is evident in the above picture.
-
Safe to say I’m stoked! Can’t wait to run with you Cheryl!!
-
Double tap if you’ve run the before!!!

Workout 1 in the bag. It was a snowy and hilly 10km. Sooooo fun.
-
Now that 5 kids are fed, no wait 6 kids , I can head to the pain cave.
-
Let’s see what happens.

@ Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park

Was a good day to move some weight.
-
Got passed the early morning migraine.
-
Got s**t done around the house.
-
Kids shuffled around town.
-
Winning.
-
-
-
-

This is literally what I see right now.
-
I get migraines. They are triggered by reflecting light. Like the light reflecting off the kitchen sink faucet. 🤢🤬
-
My worst symptoms are visual auras, limited vision, and usually loss of vision in my left eye.
-
The pain is usually tolerable, and comes after the auras are gone.
-
Not a great way to start a day.
-
-
-

Are you a Commuter or super commuter?
-
I do 160km/day now. By choice of course.
-
My Hyundai Santa Fe makes the daily trip really enjoyable. Quiet. Safe. Lots of power when you need it. Super comfortable.
-
Comment below and tell me about your commute ⤵️

-

Make today great.
-
-
-
-

Great.
-
-
-

I had to get up 30min early to get today’s workout done.
-
What do you do when you know your days are crazy busy? Do you make the extra effort to squeeze in your “me time”? Or do you “promise” to yourself that you’ll make it up later?

Late start. Late finish.
-
Today, overall, was a much better day, and i managed to get a good sweat in just before it was time to hit the hay.
-
Weights tomorrow morning. Early. Can’t wait. 🤘💪
-
Thanks to everyone who showed some love yesterday. 🙏
-
-
-

Well...that sucked.
-
Head wasn’t in it today. Not even one bit.
-
REALLY had to push through for an hour. Not gonna lie, super glad it’s over, and wished I had just not done it.
-
Maybe it’s the purple shirt that’s too small? 🤷‍♂️
-
Tomorrow is another day and another workout. 💪

My avocado toast was better than yours. Seriously. It was. 🤷‍♂️. And it wasn’t because i had a gnome watching me eat.

38 minutes of killer sweat.
-
It was a busy morning of running different kids to different activities. But squeezed in some serious me-time while the kids ate lunch.
-
Make the time. You’ve got it if you look for it.

Always learning....
-
Is today a pink day or a blue day?
-
I’m on waxless skis, but learning how to properly wax the kids skis has been a tonne of fun!!
