AAAAAAAAHHH!

We had a heat wave, and I took full advantage of it.  B joined me for a lovely jaunt around the 1.5 mile route.  It really was only painful at the very beginning as I realized that most of my conditioning had left me, and at the end when we were coming up the hill.  Other than that, I want to jump and scream because it felt so good.  I feel completely awesome right now as I sit and recover.  I have that awesome feeling of accomplishment reigning over me.  I'm so super excited to start training for my half marathon.  I just hope the weather continues to agree with me.  Tomorrow is supposed to be above freezing too, so I plan to run at work.   

In other news, B and I are officially taking a weekend trip to Canada.  We figured out last night that with his Kelly day, and me taking a half day, that we can make a trip up there and stay 2 nights.  I'm soooo excited.  The daily stress of life has really taken it's toll on me.  I guess it's been worse since I haven't had running to take it out on lately.  On the calendar that is on the fridge I wrote "YAY" on each day that we will be gone.  I know, I'm lame, but I'm oh so excited!  The other part about this is that I will have to do cross training on the Saturday since it is during my half training.  I may even run when we are up there since I have a 4 or 5 mile run on Sunday.  I'm so excited.  Maybe we can stop off in NY somewhere and find a park to run in.  YAY!    Ok.  Can you tell that I am feeling super good right now?  This is why I love running.  It's infectious!

Have fun in Canada, eh?

Where are you going--Toronto? BTW, I haven't heard from you in ages! I'm so DONE with winter and want to start running again (can't go in the cold with my sinuses).

Hurray for running! So glad to hear you out there enjoying the running. It's nice to have someone to run with, too.

Your weekend getaway sounds awesome. I hope that you're able to fit in your training, whichever way it works out. Enjoy, because you certainly deserve it!
