Until I was in my mid-20s I wasn't a runner, but now I'm a convert. 

I love that I can now pass on my passion and my love of running to others. I want to inspire others to love running too. Running isn't for everyone, but it might be for you…...

Some say sugar is highly addictive – more so than alcohol and some drugs. It is certainly a hard habit to kick. Don't be hard on yourself if you can't go cold turkey. It's not easy. 

A long weekend. Gathering with family and friends. A clock change. Sunshine and rain. A chance to be outdoors and active and an excuse to snuggle on the couch. Running, biking, scooting (for the kids), walking and climbing. Easter egg hunting and barbeque feasting. 

I think we need these pockets of alone time, unstructured and free. It's restorative and beneficial to our stress levels and emotional health. Even a few moments of quiet contemplation or meditation can help. Reading a book, colouring, knitting...engaging in something creative can be just as good for your physical health as a heart pumping exercise. See if you can schedule it in, alongside the exercise of course!

March is a great time of year to review those New Year Resolutions and goals and to see how far you've come and whether they're still relevant. I know I feel fitter than I did in January, but I know that I need to have a bit of a diet re-set to really feel the effects on my body. Fitness is about exercise and nutrition - the two go hand in hand.
