Golden Tails and Trails | Canicross Running and Weight loss for women | Lose weight, get fit and stay motivated through running and canicross with your dog
Welcome to Golden Tails & Trails, the podcast where I am here to help you lose weight, get fit and stay motivated through running and Canicross — with my two four-legged co-hosts, Skye and Daisy, trotting right alongside us.
I’m SJ, a women’s fitness and Canicross coach, and together with my dog buddies, I’m here to guide you through everything from getting started on the trails to staying motivated on the tough days.
If you’re a woman who wants to feel healthier, stronger and more confident — and you want your dog to be part of the journey — this podcast is your new weekly home.
Each episode brings you simple fitness tips, realistic weight-loss strategies, mindset support, canicross guidance, and honest conversations about life, womanhood and staying active. And yes — expect plenty of fun moments and dog-fuelled chaos from Skye and Daisy along the way.
You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be a runner.
You just need a pair of trainers… and your dog.
We’re here to walk, jog, run (and sometimes laugh) with you — one trail at a time. 🐾✨

Jesus is difficult John 6 60-69
Weight loss is hard, eating healthy and working out is hard. But we have to ask ourselves are we going to choose the hard path or the easy path?
Following Jesus is difficult. It’s a struggle. We will fail to do it at times.
But that failure doesn’t mean it’s not worth it nor that we’ve ruined anything. Because Jesus solves even that failure in what he provides. When we’ve been tempted to and have followed and easier path rather than following Jesus, Jesus forgives that.
When we’ve stumbled in our dedication to Jesus and not lived our lives the way that we should to thank him for what he’s done for us, Jesus forgives that. When we’ve let sin or anything else become more important to us than what God does for us in Jesus’ life and death in our place, Jesus forgives that.
Difficult as it is to follow Jesus, his forgiveness restores us at every single misstep and failure. Following Jesus is difficult, but it is not something we do alone.
