SMS Tracking

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

it’s the final countdown

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

The race is Sunday. 2 runs to go. I am excited. Mostly to finish the race and eat a big brunch afterward. And maybe some ice cream. Is that so wrong? I mean, everyone says not to wear/try anything new for the race, so I can’t be excited for my new outfit/shoes/hat… My Nike+ chip […]

Jenn is going to run a Half Marathon

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

That’s right. It’s time for me to commit: I’m going to run the Scotiabank Half Marathon on Sunday September 29. Now it’s on the internet, and I have to do it. And for what it’s worth, this hobby is costing me a fortune.
