Today...

...I run a half marathon!
I signed up at the very last minute, as in 10:00pm before the midnight cut off, to run the Police Half Marathon. Am I ready? Short answer...NO!!
Long answer....I have been running, I have been getting long runs in, I have found some great gals to run with on Saturday mornings, they will be running too...I will rack this one up to peer pressure....
And I want to run because I can.
My sister called me this week with very devasting news about her 37 year old friend battling cancer. Its very upsetting and my heart aches for them and their family.
Its going to be a gorgeous morning, I will put my iPod on, I have downloaded some aweseome new tunes and I am looking forward to a couple of hours to myself running along the river bank here in Saskatoon.
What better way to spend a Saturday morning?
