Week of firsts.
Told myself this year I’d pick up a new skill instead of just repeating the same workouts.
This week alone I tried hot Pilates at Solis Movement, finally took a class at Barry’s, checked out Rumble Boxing, and ended the week starting Muay Thai — something I’ve wanted to learn for a while.
I’ve been low-key intimidated to start (mostly in my own head about my age), but AJ was patient, technical, and made sure the fundamentals were solid from the jump. A great teacher makes all the difference.
Plenty to refine. Plenty to learn. But we’re building.
If this old cat can do it, so can you.

Three days at HYROX last weekend surrounded by some of the strongest and most supportive people I know 💪🏼
Showed up all three days to cheer on friends and took part myself on Saturday in the Men’s Singles Open — easily one of the toughest physical challenges I’ve ever taken on 😮💨
Watching everyone push past their limits was unreal. The energy, the grit, the support — you could feel it all weekend. We’re coming back stronger and faster next year! ⚡️

Coldplay’s last night in Toronto was otherworldly 🌌
Late recap because I’ve just recovered from the post-concert depression 🥲

Got to run the Sporting Life 10K with both my siblings for the first time 🫶🏼
Extra proud of my sister for crushing her first ever 10K (under an hour!) and grateful to our in-house Sports Massage Therapist @nigelk.rmt for getting me back on my feet after rolling my ankle just two days before. Managed to hit a PR too!
Easily one of the most fun events in the city. Already excited to do it again next year with the crew 🏁

Deadlift Progress: A NEW PR?
405lbs was my plateau for a while, so here’s what went down:
1️⃣ Slipped disc injury earlier this year kept me away from deadlifts until about a month ago.
2️⃣ Been focused on strengthening exercises at Raeden Fitness to rebuild confidence.
3️⃣ Two weekends ago, I hit 365lbs with ease.
4️⃣ This past weekend, I attempted 405lbs and it felt pretty good. Instinctively slapped on two more 10lbs plates…
5️⃣ A new deadlift personal record!
6️⃣ Goal: Own 425lbs even more confidently before pushing for a new PR.
