Welcome! I don’t race a lot but I love every second of it. I highly encourage you to sign up for a race at least once in your life, if you haven’t already. Lots of people race much more than I do but I like to pick specific “special” races and use them as motivation for my training. These are some of my upcoming ones, past race recaps and some future race goals.

JUST KEEP RUNNING
Look at those upcoming races!!!! Half and full marathon! Yeah, girl! Rock it!
Great race pic, by the way. (As always, hot mama!)
With the way my 10k training has gone I’ll be surprised if I complete a full marathon this year, but we’ll see
Wow…is it ok if I borrow your running goals for 2012 (well all of them except running with your sister – that might be a little awkward)…
hahaha Bonar, those aren’t necessarily my goals for 2012 – just running in general. I’m sure you could run with Nic, she wouldn’t mind
haha
I’m going to have to enter some local small races to get a 1st place medal, but it seems obtainable
Do you use Nike+? I’ve been using it for the past few years and is a great way to train and get motivated….
Colin just got it for me for my birthday and I LOVE IT
– compared to mapping out my runs via google earth and then using the stop watch on my ipod, it’s amazing! I just grab my shoes and go. I don’t think it’s 100% accurate but it does the job. Oh and if you run why aren’t we running together?? we should do a local race in b-town this summer!
My running scheg is all over the place…it would be difficult to run together…doing some local races in B-Town…yes! Also you can find me on Nike+ as “king B1″ – we could virtually run together there – I do that with a few friends…
I haven’t even signed up to log my workouts on nike+ yet but when I do I’ll add you
NICE GOALS!
Have you already signed up for the half in Hamilton?? I signed up for the Downsview Half in November (supposed to fast and flat! lol)
Pam! I am just seeing this now…..The downsview is supposed to be awesome
I hope you rock it!!!!
Love your goals! Will this half you have in the future be your first half marathon? Good luck to you!
Sorry Rachel I’m for some reason just seeing this now….but YES! I just completed my first half!!! I’m beyond thrilled, is has been my favourite distance to both race and train for thus far
