Dear Blog-ary,
The days are getting shorter and there's a distinct crispness in the air, that nods to the changing of seasons. Autumn is finally upon us. And, although we may face colder, rainier workouts ahead of us at Alter Ego Fitness bootcamps, we will remain strong and committed to our cause! Earlier this week I realized that it's finally time to put away my shorts until next season (sigh), and garb myself in the proper Fall workout attire. Even though we're working up a sweat during class, I have an extra warm layer close at hand to keep myself from getting a chill!Recipe: Honey Carob Red Lentil Powerballs

This is a recipe for some high energy treats that are great to use as a pre or post workout snack. Or, if you choose, they can even be used as a quick "anytime" snack along with a piece of fresh fruit. Be sure they are kept refrigerated or cold as they tend to soften if at room temperature.
They taste so good, with the combo of peanut butter and chocolate (carob is like chocolate, it just doesn’t have the caffeine in it and some of us can do without more stress on the adrenal glands), that you can even call it a "treat". Guaranteed to help curb that sweet tooth!
Dear Blog-ary: I Need To Train My Thoughts Too

Dear Blog-ary,
Cedar Hill Golf Course is one of my favourite chip trails to run in the city. Nestled beside the green of the golf course, in amongst trees and bushes, it is a beautiful escape from the streets and suburban housing of the surrounding neighbourhood. It's continuous rolling hills, and high resistance trails, make it an ideal place to train!
Having ran this trail before, I knew somewhat of what to expect this Sunday. Being week three, of the "Can You Bear It" 10K running clinic, our runs continue to become longer and more challenging. As physically prepared as I was, when I arrived to this weeks training, I discovered a new aspect to our training.
