Army Half

Wow. So there has been SO much going on lately!

First and foremost, my daughter started primary. And then I scored a gig with Team in Training to coach the run program here in Halifax for the Disney Princess Half Marathon and the Madric Rock and Roll Marathon. I’ll also be coaching the TNT Flex program in Atlantic Canada.

On top of all that, I’m back at school myself, plugging away at my never-ending HR Certificate, working part-time as a TA, wrangling my kids, hiking with my dog… speaking of hiking, I received a mind-blowingly generous offer to tackle a physical feat way beyond what I would have ever volunteered for or even considered doing if it weren’t one of my absolute favourite people in the world inviting me along (more on that later).

But most importantly, right now I am waiting at the Toronto City Airport for a flight into Ottawa!

I’ve been (kind of) (half-assed) training for the Army Half and the time is now. My husband and I are staying for a long weekend sans kids and the weather is sunny and not muggy and I can feel the pre-race buzz starting in my bones (or maybe that’s the coffee).

I plan on being at the Expo around noon, so if anyone wants to meet up, to say hi or to giggle together because squee!!! race!!! let me know and we can try to meet up!

I’ll be writing soon about my quest to finally break two hours and how I’m kind of just hoping I’ll pull it out of my, uh… hat. In all honesty, considering my training, I’m actually aiming to break 2:05 which is my current PB.

And I promise, dear runners, to start writing again soon!
