I'll be running a half-marathon in Montreal on February 5.
As of this week, I'll be running four (or so) times per week, with short runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a slightly longer one on Wednesdays, and a long(ish) run on Saturdays.

saturday morning, six miles
On Saturday morning, I woke up early and went for a run with R in the snow.
We went from Queen and Lisgar to Sunnyside, and then up Parkside to Bloor. Running in the snow was exhausting, and R handled it far better than me (as expected).
Anyway, end result? First "long" run completed, with no lasting side effects.

snowy fabulousness
If running two half-marathons didn't convince me that I'm an actual runner (a mediocre one, but one nonetheless), last night's trip out at eleven post meridian did.
After a few miles of running while wearing three layers, a striped toque, and mittens, I arrived home all overheated, sniffling, and self-satisfied.

I've got...buy-in!
I went to Guelph on Saturday, and had a great conversation with B and R about my fundraising plans. They've agreed to canvass on my behalf (thanks girls!), and in the spring, B's going to write a press release and try to get me into the Belleville newspaper (on one of those slow news days...).
As for the athletic end of things, I dragged myself out of bed this morning at 5:45 and went for a two-mile run. It was only my second run since my (uninspiring) half-marathon, so I'm happy with myself for not collapsing at the corner of Argyle and Dovercourt on my way back to my apartment.
I'm going to be submitting my registration form later on today, so it looks as though there's no turning back. I feel as though I should be listening to all Bjork, all the time.
Also, comment, dammit! This means you, B, R, J, and D.

Post Numero Uno
I've left my trademark indecisiveness sulking in the corner, and have finally decided to commit to running a marathon as part of Team Diabetes Canada.

I plan to use this blog to keep everyone updated on my training (and fundraising) progress. As soon as I officially register, I'll post a link to the online pledge utility.
