My first blog

Well... here I am at the keyboard searching searching my thoughts for some deep profound pearls of wisdom or views. At this time... blanko... nothing nada zip zilch.

Let's back up to 10 minutes ago (which btw would be the same line of reasoning as 2years ago)... where I would say "blogging?" ... "what the heck does someone like me have any business doing by creating a blog?" Where do I come off thinking that in my life there is enough interesting tidbits of value enough to share with friends, family, strangers on a daily basis.

hmmm... let's think about that one shall we... to begin with let me lay out briefly my plans (as they stand today) for the remainder of this year as well as next;

Weekends in Dec are full now with Ski Lessons on Saturdays (lessons are the result of my skiing experience on the Kicking Horse, but that might be a story for another time :) )

I run (for sure) 3 days a week (usually 4)

• I'm a pacer for the Half Marathon running clinic (which I love btw)
• Tues is clinic night. Informational session followed by a run.
• Wed is run club (now called Evil Hills night)
• Sundays are always my long slow distance (lsd) runs. As the clinic progresses the sunday lsd get longer and longer.

Goal Race for the half marathon clinic is in February and it's called the Hypothermic Half. Nice hey. Yah, you can be guaranteed that will be the coldest day in Feb :(

After the half clinic I jump right into full marathon training... for a marathon in Paris on April 5th. mmm-hmmm. That's right. Paris, as in Paris FRANCE. For this I will run through the long dark dank evil days of winter. ugh ugh and double ugh. I tell ya, the things I do to buy a pair of Christian Louboutien's.

After the whirlwind that I know will be the wonderful and lovely trip to Par-ee... I am taking a full 3 weeks off to recover. I know I will gain at least (and that is L-E-A-S-T) 5 lbs instantly during this time frame.... doesn't life suck sometimes. Anyways, then I jump into training for the Death Race. Yep that is the Canadian Death Race and this event occurs Aug long weekend. I have signed up for Leg 2 of a relay team. It is my first death race and if I think about it too much I will work my way into a tizzy and question my sanity (again). For now though, it is just a thought of something that I will be doing ... but that's not till wayyyy later next year.

So for my first blog that is my 2009 in a nutshell. That is only skimming the surface I know and there will probably be some 10k and half marathon races in there somewhere but haven't committed to anything else yet.

Oh yah... and i'm trying to find a BF ... and not even a BF per se, just finding some guys that I would consider worth introducing to my cat. Which now that i've decided to start dating again that is a whoooolllllleeee 'nother blog (or series of blogs) altogether :)

Is that interesting so far?
