The Running Trail

Gosh, I am behind on posting. The past 2.5 months have been crazy. We have had Valentine’s Day, two birthdays, a St. Patrick’s Day 5-mile run. I’ve also “committed” to a half-marathon that, apparently, includes plenty of hills. M will join me at the race and will run the 10K that is affiliated with it, which is sweet for me because that means I will have someone to greet me at the finish line.

How spoiled am I?

The half training is, knock wood, going well. There are some gaps – undoubtedly not enough speed work to finish at my goal time, for example – but I am enjoying it. I like the long runs, the distance build, even the hill workouts. All of it, actually. And the explorer that I am is very much looking forward to running on new and different streets for this one.

But first, we have a 10K this weekend. This will be M’s first “timed” race. Since it will also be close to the date of our dating 6 months we will try to finish together, which would be sweet.

Since the last post we have also purchased kayaks. We have talked about a few destinations. I’ll update that as plans firm up.
