No Bake DIY Granola Bars

February 16, 2019February 17, 2019 racheleschoutsen1 Comment

It's time to bring back some creativity in the kitchen ! I'm recovering from LASIK eye surgery and also housebound since my entire neighbourhood looks like a skating rink ! So- I'm killing sometime in the kitchen. I recently met with a dietician and she commented that my nutrition is pretty clean. Happy with the… Continue reading No Bake DIY Granola Bars

Welcome to June ! Started off the month with an amazing garden party with my Weather Network ladies (Saturday) and a half marathon the following morning.

  I have never felt so happy and accomplished in my life! Today I reached a life goal: run a sub 4 hour marathon. Here's the story ! This year has been different when it comes to running.

Another Trip “Around the Bay” 2018

March 25, 2018March 31, 2018 racheleschoutsen1 Comment

Race day is always the best day! The runners high is real & I'm feeling it. Around the Bay is North America's oldest road race and it always signals the start to race season. This year about 4000 runners lined up to run the challenging 30 k route. This season was a little different for… Continue reading Another Trip “Around the Bay” 2018

My Run Experiment: Distance VS Strength

Oh the long run! I love it and hate it. It makes me worry. But also gives me hope. Stresses me out. Then boosts my mood. Is the worst part of running. Is the best part of running. See, I can't make up my mind! Over the past four years the weekend long run was… Continue reading My Run Experiment: Distance VS Strength

Heat Warnings & Half Marathons 

September 24, 2017 racheleschoutsenLeave a comment

When I think of things I'd pair together, my mind goes towards really rich dark coffee and chocolate. Or the perfect red wine and cheddar. A black dress with really shiny earrings. Not a half marathon and a heat warning.  I love fall races becasue of the weather! Crisp mornings, fresh dew on the lawn,… Continue reading Heat Warnings & Half Marathons

I'm sitting in my car. The rain is coming down so hard you can barely hear my radio. The grass beside me is slowly becoming a swamp. It's only 10C outside. And my ankle feels sore from last weeks full in Ottawa. How I had the drive and energy to even get out of my… Continue reading The Race I Almost Gave Up On…

After a race there is always a story to tell. And this time it's a story that speaks to dedication and believing in yourself. For the first time in my relationship with running I have gone out of the comfort zone. Tempo runs, speed work, negative splits. All things that seem to take the fun… Continue reading Mississauga 1/2 Marathon: Race Recap
