Friday, September 26th, 2008

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 […]

focus

Friday, September 26th, 2008

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 […]

SMS Tracking

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Anyone want to know where I am during my race on Sunday Morning? Will anyone be awake that early even? I have one spot for a phone number on my SMS list!! You’ll find out when I get to the 9k point, and when I finish. Of course, you can also pay to follow me […]

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.

The difference between training and not training for a 10k.

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

What is 18 seconds Alex! Yup, today I ran the sporting life 10k for the second time. Only, unlike last year this year I didn’t train. I hadn’t run more than 6k outside since last May. And that was probably at the race. My time was 57:28 – not too shabby by anyone’s standards! So […]

eclipse
