I officially signed up for the Around the Bay 30km race yesterday. 2010 is the 115th anniversary of the race. I did the 2 person relay with the husband last year (as part of the Two Tickets to the Gun Show team) but this year will be solo and the longest race I have ever done.
No turning back now - I squealed like a little girl when I hit enter on my registration. Well, I may have cried but whatever... This is currently my goal race for our next clinic from a distance perspective. If it goes well (i.e. I survive) I may consider doing the Mississauga Marathon in May but I am not committing to the marathon distance just yet.
Last night was a great run at the gym. I really did not want to go but of course enjoyed it once there. I was going to hit up the spin class but it started at 5:30, I was there at 4:30 and really just wanted to run so off I went for 45 minutes. I had my Nike+ on for the first time in ages and Lance Armstrong scared the crap out of me at the end of the run when he told me it was my fast run to date. Thanks Lance! Don't scare me though.
Crazy neighborhood count of people with their Christmas lights already on: 3

Lance talks to you??
WOW congrats on hitting the button and having a great new Goal to strive for!!
Congratulations! I should get on that.... definitely planning to run it next year!
Thankfully, none of my neighbors have their Christmas decorations up...yet. I'm sure by the weekend though.
Congrats on signing up for the 30K, can't wait to follow your training. You're going to rock it!
Funny about Lance! :)
So exciting about the Bay, and definitely go for the Mississauga Marathon. I did that as my first marathon this year, and did the Bay first. Same thing, where people were saying, hey if you're doing the Bay you'll have the base mileage to do the full in Mississauga, and that the Bay lands on the 30K training run week too for the full.
Anyhow, because of the hills at the Bay, and Mississauga being very flat, the marathon was actually easier than the Bay in a way, so ... well, I'm blabbing on here, but so excited for you!!!
Are you also doing the Burlington Chilly?
WOW!!!!! You = my hero!!!
Lance told me the same thing yesterday too! :-D
Congrats! I'm thinking of it too, but am afraid of the winter training especially as my long runs tend to be through trails and ravines, and that's not an option in January and February.
