Marathon Lead-Up

April 10, 2009

Last year I started running. My first race was the Vancouver Sun Run 10k. I came in under an hour and was pleased so I decided to see how far I could take this. I signed up for my first half-marathon.

All last summer I trained hard. I even ran the Nike+ 10k race in under 50 minutes. The Royal Victoria Marathon was on Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend last October. It was a tough 21.1 K but I managed to sneak in under 2 hours. I was pleased again. I ended up doing 2 more half-marathons before 2008 came to a close breaking 1:55 both times. It was time to sign up for a new challenge.
