Thank You and Goodbye to my Indoor Boot Camp Clients

2009-12-23T07:58:00.004-05:00

Thank you to all the loyal clients who have perservered over the last couple of tough weeks and the sorting out of private and semi private sessions. Everyone has been supportive and wonderful during this heartwrenching time for all of us. I will continue to offer the FREE seminar on a demand basis on exercise and stress reduction, food journaling, and meditation for stress reduction. These are open forum clubs to help you on your journey in the New Year without me! They will be offered until I no longer have the time slots available due to private sessions. Please contact me for availability as my availability will change rapidly as I book new January personal training clients. Please, these are not drop in sessions-you must contact me directly.
Please check in when Spring weather arrives....I will be rturning to my roots with an OUTDOOR BOOTCAMP-which is where it all began!! Be prepared to bring it to the next level!!

Many Thanks

Just back from the Hoffman Institute in Calgary and I would like to thank all the instructors who covered my classes for me while I was away. They did a terrific job and there was nothing but positive feedback for them. Hoffman was the most incredible experience of my life-it will never be equalled or repeated again! Remember: true love is never hard to find..for the best form of love is self love....."I am love, I am loving, I am loveable"

Cruise to Run Holiday

2009-02-27T09:47:00.013-05:00

Finally!! Here are some of the highlights from this fabulous trip.

Day 1-Puerto Rico, San Juan-we ran 9 km today in our sightseeing efforts. Beautiful!

Day 2-Princess Caribbean and a sunny, lazy day at sea.

Day 3-Barbados-5 km run. I was honored to meet Tom, Tammy and Whitney White from Buena Vista, Colorado. Dr White chose to amputate his leg after a degenerative problem with his left leg (due to a motorcycle accident in his 20's) left him unable to run. For full story go to Life and Limb at Runners World.

All three easily outrun me....yes, even little Whitney!

I was pleasantly surprised when I earned a third place spot for the 40 to 44 age category!

Day 4-St Lucia 9 km run to the Vigie Light house. Wow! Are these Islands hilly!

Day 5-Antigua 13 km run to Fort Barrington in the morning and a 7 km "hash" run with the local running club in the afternoon

Day 6-Tortola-the home to the steepest climb I have ever done! It was so high-it was laughable...if only I could catch my breath to do so!!

Day 7-St Thomas and 5 km prediction run. Apparently, I have no idea what pace I am running. My legs today-felt like tree stumps.

For more information on this fabulous holiday check out Cruise to Run!

OUCH!!! Happy Mother's Day

2008-05-11T15:36:00.003-05:00

My Mother's Day started in the most perfect way.....a 21.1 km run through the streets of Mississauga! I went in wanting (but not believing) I could beat my last years race of 1:47:12 (I have become somewhat slower this year-I understand age does that to you :(
I am a hurting unit but I DID IT!! Mark pushed, prodded and poked me to the finish line (and put up with a silent treatment for the last 5 km as I thought of torcherous ways to hurt him to repay my tremendous amount of pain (sore, blistering feet-always my problem!! Had third degree burns on my feet when I was 2 years old from walking on a camp fire!) All was well as I crossed in 1:46:11! Within 5 minutes I was once again berating myself for stopping to walk at the 18 km mark instead of pushing through to get my goal of 1:45:00......NEXT YEAR! Wanna come??

OUTDOOR BOOTCAMP PART 2

2008-05-11T15:28:00.002-05:00

This has been an interesting year! So...the outdoor boot camp is evolving into something a little different than what we have done in the past.
There will be two boot camps on Saturday mornings-one at 8 am and one at 9 am. BOTH are indoors BUT for the 8 am people there will be an additional 1/2 hour added from 9 am to 9:30 am. The strength component will take place IN the studio followed by a running skills, drills and hills for a half hour with our one and only Mark. Be prepared to work hard and sweat alot!

OUTDOOR BOOTCAMP

2008-04-29T12:54:00.002-05:00

Starting this Saturday May 3 our boot camp goes outdoor with Lori. Please meet by 9 am at Monsignor Doyle High School (the track) rain or shine. There will be no opportunity for an indoor shift since there will be a simultaneous indoor camp going on that is filled to it's maximum!
First day is fit test and some strength training the outdoor way.

Last Chance Bridal Workout!!

2008-04-15T09:52:00.002-05:00

It was Jackie's last chance workout before her big day. We huffed and puffed through a tough plyometric day for one last chance at a fat burn before she struts down the aisle!!

We wish Jackie a perfect day!

Saturday bootcamps

2008-04-07T10:10:00.002-05:00

Due to the large volume on Saturdays I am asking that everyone contact me prior to showing up if you are NOT a regular client of this time!!
We will be heading out doors soon and it will ease this problem slightly.
This is the last Saturday (April 12) before Jackie's wedding.....so we have a "last chance" workout for her to send her on her way!! It will be plyometric day and I ask everyone to wear some "wedding" attire in honour of her!

Around The Bay

2008-03-30T14:56:00.002-05:00

Someone....someone did not want me to run this race this year!!! Thursday I fell ill-really ill-and did not recover in time for the big day. As one of my clients put it this week as I coughed and spluttered through a boot camp....yay, Tannis is human! Could the gods not have thought of another way to prove it-like having a great race instead of taking me out of it!
Mark did race and he had a great time-although it did reinforce our thoughts of having an easy year where times don't count and the racing time is spent as quality time with us. Pretty sad when our lives are so busy that we need to run to get some time away from work and kids! Such is life!
Kingston Half Marathon is a month away and Mississauga is 6 weeks. Hopefully I will get well soon and continue towards these goals.

VOODOO DOLL?

2008-03-08T12:11:00.003-05:00

So, I decided to run outside yesterday for the first time since I injured my right knee and all was going well. No pain in the RIGHT knee 9km, 10 km then around the 11 km mark....BAM! Pain! A 7/10 pain in the LEFT-yes, the LEFT knee!! OUCH. It was like someone decided to wake up on the wrong side of the bed and stick a pin in my voo doo doll! I managed to push through and complete my 19 km but today I am paying the price for it. Is this what everyone means by "getting old"? If so, keep it to yourself. Any and all sympathy comments are welcome :)

A "Weighted" Issue!

2008-02-28T09:06:00.002-05:00

The girls from boot camp realized just how much they lost when they had to carry the amount lost on their backs during our hour long workout. This was not a time to have lost a lot of weight!! They huffed and puffed their way around the circuit, marvelling in the amount of extra energy it took to do what they now normally do! Lesson learned!

Oh No!!!

2008-02-18T08:16:00.002-05:00

It is true...I fell.....running...outside. To everyone who always wags their finger at me and warns me of the dangers of running in this weather........o.k o.k I get it! However, as soon as I am up and "running" I will be back out there. 8 m from the house too. Torn medial meniscus.....doesn't really hurt....just feels tight, stiff and unstable. Sitting on a bike was never soooooo boring. But as Arnold says "I will be back..."

Yoga with Mike

2008-02-09T22:13:00.000-05:00

Mike Chapman-yes, the infamous Yoga Mike came to the studio for a 2 hour session to start our 10 week yoga for beginners course. Hmm. And we all thought we were a little flexible....not so! Mike is excitedly feeling a little challenged with this group and all our containdications. We will stretch him for sure on his knowledge. We have vowed to practise every night until next meeting next Friday night!!

2007-08-22T15:22:00.000-05:00

Well.....Mark and I are off to Quebec City for the marathon. Woo Hoo!!! 4 days, no kids!!! Sorry, lost focus there for a moment. Really we're there for the run.
Lori has a great workout set up for some strength training.
See everyone on September 1! Stay focused, eat well. Who will be our biggest loser??
Final day is September 15 with breakfast served on September 16th (the Sunday). We have new boot camps starting on the 15th for an 8 week period.
Saturdays at 9 am (yes, a little later) for those who want a hard core workout!!
Saturdays at 10 am for kids ages 9 to 12 years of age (based on play)
Saturdays at 11 am for kids ages 13 to 15. This will be a tough army style workout but will encourage all fitness levels to join. They will learn to use their own body weight to improve strength, improve self esteem and have fun. Great for those not inclined to join a "team" style sport.

August 18 Boot Camp

2007-08-13T19:48:00.000-05:00

Mark is in charge this week. Lori and I are away for training at Can Fit Pro and Mark has graciously agreed to teach a running clinic at Doyle for anyone who would like to learn more about the fine art of running. Walkers are welcome but this is a running day. Be prepared for at least 30-45 minutes of running intervals.

August 11 Boot Camp

2007-08-07T12:20:00.000-05:00

The word is...Lori wants to RUN!! So....., be prepared for a cardiovascular workout on the track (maybe even Hill 60!) I personally think she has been dipping into the chocolate bins a bit early this year :) She's in charge-so be ready to move!
Word is still out on the Can Fit Pro weekend (August 18th). Pretty sure I could convince Mark to come out and give a mini running clinic on that morning. It is what he does best! New 5km, 10km and Half Marathon clinics coming your way this fall. Watch for updates.

Boot Camp August 4 2007

2007-08-01T15:03:00.000-05:00

IT'S LEG DAY!!!!
Come prepared to pump and squeeze those stubborn legs into lovely lean gams! Learn how to use only your body weight for a great workout!! See everyone there!

Boot camp July 21

2007-07-19T04:19:00.000-05:00

So I missed my first Boot Camp-had a few withdrawal moments...but I got through it. The obstacle course was a hit with everyone feeling challenged. A reminder to everyone to treat these courses as an individual event-they're NOT a race!!! Some were concerned about their speed (or what they felt to be lack of). Please do each section as a stand alone item-no rushing through or cutting them short! Each section needs to be treated with equal effort in order to obtain the most from the cardio and strength elements. This week Lori and I sat down with this information at hand and came up with set timed intervals so everyone could be on the same page at the same time without anyone feeling "left behind" Hope everyone enjoys your day-I'm off to my first weekend off (without a race!) to rest and enjoy!!

Rattlesnake Point Enduro Run

2007-07-14T14:06:00.000-05:00

Hmmm....this one made the mudrun look like child's play!! Very technical, fell 3 times (ouch) but held my own. Really need to do some major hill training before the Run for the Toad in September. This one was 12.7 km of hilly, technical trail. Managed to make my goal (1:17:00) and finished in 1:15:34 and placed 9/43 in my age group. Wow!! My legs hurt! Thanks to Laurie for covering the boot camp (I hear there was a soccer tournament-I guess I should have known that since my daughter was in it) but quick thinking on Laurie's behalf kept everyone moving and challenged.

Running with George and Peggy Sarson

2007-07-01T16:31:00.000-05:00

So, we headed out to Pinehurst to try to find the trail for the Run For The Toad so we could practise...and ran into George and Peggy Sarson-the organizers for the race. Mark and I were thrilled to be able to run with George. He is such an inspiration for all runners. We were pumped for the race already but now we are thrilled to be part of such a great experience.

FINAL BOOT CAMP

2007-06-30T17:34:00.000-05:00

It's going to be HOT!!!! Bring lots of water. We are scheduled for hill 60.........we'll see how that goes. Be prepared to start on the hill.
Luminaries are available ($5.00) for the Relay for Life. These are candles that are lit with names and messages on them in honor or memory of someone with cancer. I will be collecting at the boot camp and I have the dedication order booklets. Our team ensures the luminaries are lit-you can also come to Waterloo Park for the lighting of the luminaries (arrive just before dusk-they are saying around 10 to 10:30pm-I would arrive earlier) and light your own luminary.

Hey everyone....tomorrow is core day with track intervals. I am still looking for participants for the Relay for Life on June 22-this is a great opportunity to support a great cause and get some fitness too. I know Mark and I are looking forward to a nice long, fat burning run!! Please let me know if you are having a difficult time getting onto the sight. Not sure what the problem is.
Off to the Mississauga 1/2 Marathon Sunday for Mother's day-I can't think of a better way to spend it!

Hey everyone!!

I will not cap the outdoor camps so tell your firneds! The more the merrier.
To all who have enrolled and are not yet training with me.......please make arrangements to fill out your liability forms and get your stats done for the challenge.

To everyone who signed up for that one.......are you CRAZY!!! Kidding. Should be fun.
