Half Marathon

So after almost four months of training...the half marathon is over, thank God! It all started on a cold day in February when my friend Kristy said she was going to run one. I was inspired by her and my sister's new husband--who runs marathons...that's right plural. I think that he has run five in total.

Thus began the slow training process and what a great experience it was. I can say with certainty that I never thought I would ever run---anything--10K, 5K, let alone a 13.1 miles.

I trained on my own using a training schedule that I got online. I kept to it for the most part and finished in 2 hours and 20 minutes.

It has been such a great expereince pushing myself and realizing that I can in fact acheive this goal. I would say that I am very much looking forward to a little break, though I have the Toronto Zoo run coming up in October.

I think I've caught the bug.
