June is Brain Injury Awareness Month 🧠

Brain injury can affect every part of a person’s life, from memory and focus to mood, sleep, energy, relationships, work, school, and daily routines.

For many people, these challenges are invisible, which can make them even harder to explain and navigate.

This month, we’re raising awareness, sharing resources, and reminding anyone affected by brain injury that you are not alone.

Follow along as we share information, support, and tools for people living with concussion, persistent post-concussion symptoms, and suspected CTE.

This upcoming weekend is the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend! Here's our training plan as we get ready for the big race!

DAY 59

Back in the saddle!

I rely heavily upon routine. I've been doing well with short disruptions (1-3 days), but last week I was on the road for 6 days and couldn't manage to keep on track with my workouts.

Getting up to go to the gym today felt like starting over. Like I had lost all of my progress and was back at the beginning. Leaving the house was hard. Once I got to the gym and got started I found all my fears and worry were unfounded, I was right where I was when I left off and I had a great workout.

Feelings come and go, but pushing through them is often where the rewards lie.

RUNNING INTERVALS
