Smoke, Slow Recovery, and Six Women Referees: July 2026 on the BlogHow many posts? Nearly 30 posts this month, through a run of heat and wildfire smoke that scrambled a lot of our workout plans — proof that showing up looks different every summer. Who blogged?

Back to back Personal Bests for 80 km/ 50 milesFirst, the MS Bike Tour is not a race. Second, I do not have a lot of recorded data before 2024.

I'm curious. Did no one at Tim Hortons think this would be an issue?

I bought a new dress and I was excited to wear it yesterday, but it has a very strange design flaw. Just one pocket! Also, it's the left pocket. What do designers have against women? Seriously.
