THE EXCITEMENT IS STARTING TO BUILD
Only seven more sleeps and I walk my first half marathon - I am already starting to visualize but trying not to obsess about this one - yet, I cant wait to see if my endurance training that I have been focusing on has really done the trick...also to give me a measuring stick of where I need to be
I did forego my High Park training with Ontario Racewalkers - the coach had said to me last week that it may be too much so close to a half marathon - that and the really crummy weather persuaded me to not do a distance day today - cant riask getting sick so close to one of my goal races...........Instead I went to the indoor comfort of the gym, did a little core workout and then 8km on the treadmill - on a hill training program. I felt really great afterwards when I finally pulled myself out of the jacuzzi.
I met my friend downtown and went to a traditional Japanese Udon house for lunch. Ian and I have been friends since playing basketball together in high school - that was just a short???while ago - in face I still think they were using bushel baskets for the nets back then-----LOL Great to have such a good friend - God has blessed me for sure!!!!!!!!
Hope everyone is having a great Labor day weekend
