At the suggestion of my BFF, I've committed to the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront (Half) Marathon on October 14th. If I tell people, I'll feel accountable (or so I'm told).
So, I have 77 days to train my body and mind that I can once again run 21.1kms. My running efforts this season have been lacking but now I have no choice. I'm committed. I'm gonna do it.
Unfortunately, this likely means that I won't be walking in the Weekend to End Women's Cancers this September. I was training for this same half marathon last year but the walk absolutely destroyed my hips & feet and I just couldn't recover in time. I knew that if I did it, I'd likely do permanent damage.
I'll be heading out tomorrow for a 10km run. I hope I make it.
About Me
- Jenn
- I live in Toronto with my husband and our 4 year old son. I'm (successfully, I think) navigating that whole work & home thing. I obsess about food and am constantly thinking of the next meal. I obsess about what I just ate but have no willpower to stop myself from repeating the same food choice mistakes over & over. I love Golden Retrievers & raccoons. I live for green tea & decaf soy lattes and should have a bumper sticker on my car that says "I brake for cookies." I watch far too much TV and don't read as much as I'd like anymore. I live for Fine Cooking magazine but love a good dose of UsWeekly. I wish I kept a cleaner house but find that real life gets in the way. I would love to have less "stuff" and am working on being more organized. I am driven by the urge to purge. I love my family, my friends, my life & my career. I just need to figure out how to be amazing at all of these things without any compromising.
