hi, i'm jenn

1 = the number of antibiotics I have left to take 2 = the number of days until my Garmin 305 is delivered to the hotel 3 = the number of sleeps until VEGAS! Life is happy.

I’m writing this on Sunday at 4 in the hotel room where we don’t have internet (and for some reason we’re unable to purchase it even when we try). I’m taking the hint and staying off-line, but thought I would document the day for your, and my, entertainment. Especially after all the build up this […]

I’m not going to be thrilled just to run on the weekend. I’m cranky that I trained all winter outside in the snow and cold and am [likely] not going to be 100% by the time this weekend’s race rolls around. Breaking 2 hours seemed like such a good goal – so downgrading my expectations […]

The race is less than a week away. And I’m sick. I started feeling “off” friday, and have been getting worse. Saturday I popped Sudafed. Yesterday I decided it was allergies and took Reactin. Today I have a sinus headache (hence the up early) and so am back on Sudafed/Advil. I think I’ll go to […]

I had a fun time trying to find myself in the finishing video that the National Post put up of Sunday’s race. Here I am approaching the finish line – I then keep running for about a second and disapear off the screen. Here’s Baron – who ran right in front of the camera. Coincidence? […]

when i started blogging, i did it as a way to keep in touch with people. i was never a fan of the large group mails, preferring instead a blog where i wasn’t forcing my life down people’s throats. but now, i blog mostly for me. i get a kick out of reading old entries […]

Yup, that’s my finishing time (chip, not gun) for my first half marathon. Not too shabby. I definitely owe you a post on the race. It’s coming. In the meantime, here’s an awesome picture of me at around the 8k mark:

4/5 of the weather sites I checked predict showers for early tomorrow AM. do you think early is before, like, 6:45? fingers crossed the the weather network is right. in other news, my shirt now says jenn in big pink letters. it was a pain in the butt, so that might be all it says. but it […]

i picked up my race package. and went on a bit of a shopping spree – a pair of souvenir socks, a new running shirt, and two bras. woohoo! i had to leave the expo so that i’d stop spending money (and because i had to get back to work) i’m bib number 8600. it […]

as the race draws nearer, my eye is on the prize. no, not finishing the race, but BRUNCH after the race. i’m insanely excited to eat a post race meal and have spent the week mulling over where I want to go. what if i want something sweet? what if i want something savoury? what […]
