Running

So I have enlisted myself to run in the annual MDS Nordion Ottawa Race Weekend. However, this year I have only signed up to do 5K. I decided to reduce the distance because of the increase in my asthma symptoms. I went running with Stephanie last night with the Running Room clinic, except it is a clinic for 10K racers. The run was for 4K and I hadn't been running at all I think since the last Ottawa Race Weekend in 2006. It was rough (especially with the hills) doing 80% of my run in one night of training. I can definitely feel it today in my legs. Of course, today was the day that most of my files were on the bottom shelf, so it hurt to bend them every time!! Hopefully, I will continue to train well and not stop as many times as I did last night. I am running the race with my brother-in-law (lucky for me) as Stephanie and Will are both running the 10K.

Very cool! I'm in awe that you're going to run a marathon!

WOW! I'm not that good! I'm only doing 5K. A marathon would take years to train for (atleast for me it would)
