Michele Runs Half-Marathon in 2:13
Following up on my New Years resolution to run a half-marathon. I DID IT! And I ran the whole thing. No walking necessary. 2:13 is 7 minutes faster than I anticipated, entirely thanks to Meesh (preschool friend!) who dropped in to run it with me between trips to Sweden and Taipai. As an aside, Meesh is currently training for the Crowsnest Pass Sinister 7 in July – 147 km trail race. Something to strive for !?! Maybe not this year. Very sorry for Imbaw – who trained for this Half too, but had to pull out with a strained calf 2 days ago. He knows what he did wrong and is looking forward to running a Half in august. Manitoba (half?) marathon next year! Hope some of you can join me for it! For now I’m going to ramp the running down a bit and hit the water with our new kite board! WooHoo!
Here’s me and Meesh (and her dog Harley!) – 6:45AM pre-run photo op!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN FUN.
SO SORRY ABOUT IMBAW NOT ABLE TO JOIN YOU. MAYBE NEXT TIME.
I WAS TELLING WHILE DRIVING FROM SUNAPEE THAT YOU AND IMBAW WERE RUNNING THE HALF MARATHON TODAY. KEEP UP WITH IT AND NEXT TIME THETWO BOYS WILL BE JOINING YOU IN NO TIME. LOVE YOU ALL. JULIE
Just got home after meandering through the Qu’appelle Valley. What a weekend! One I will always remember. I’m so happy. We got to do this run together. It was awesome. And so was your pasta sauce last night : ).
Wow! Congrats to both of you! I loved the post and loved having a chance to catch up a bit with Meesh as well.
