Let's Run YYC!

Here we are at Calgary Marathon time again!  I would love to have been getting ready for the 50k, but I find myself nervous about even running the Half.  This year has been tough.  BUT that means things can only get better.

I definitely need a solid enjoyable race and that will be my goal for Calgary.  I'm not setting a time goal.  Maybe I'll even pause to absorb the East Village fun for the first time ever.  This will be the 3rd anniversary of my first ever half marathon, I would love to recapture some of the crazy energy and finish the race with the same excitement. I do not however, need a repeat of the nuclear blister.

 



Since then I've run a few more races and have realized I absolutely want to keep running for as long as I am able.  I know I'll work through my current issues because it is worth it. 

Running makes me happy, in 2012 I was so happy I didn't notice my legs had gone numb with the cold.

I'm also pretty excited to run the Half AND 5k next weekend, in fact a bunch of us are doing exactly that.  It's going to be awesome!

It's time to celebrate why we run.
