As many of you know, I ran 1/10th of a marathon (that's 4.2km) in last year's Bluenose as part of the YMCA Strong Kids Relay on the SRC Tortoises team - made up of 10 women from my street. We had a blast, even when it started to rain. Although I wish I had trained a little harder - those 4.2km felt more like 10km to my weary, untrained legs. I thought since I played soccer year-round, I would have no problem with that short distance. I learned my lesson! So this year I'll be training with my neighbours once again, only I'll ACTUALLY train, not just pay lip-service to the idea.
This past weekend I had hoped to get started and it was glorious weather, but didn't get myself organized. Although I did manage to get in a stroll at Shubie park with my hubby and boys (5yrs and 16mons). So now I'm writing in here that I WILL get out for at least a first 5km walk this coming weekend. Who's going to join me? 9AM on Sunday if the weather cooperates. The snow should all be melted away by then, right?
