The Woody’s half-marathon feels like it’s months away. But it is only eight weeks! That’s two months for those who are mathematically challenged. Plenty of time to get my butt ready. Still the weather has not been accommodating. Sure we have had the odd day of sunshine here and there. The snow banks and snow covered trails are still here.
I am having a difficult time trying to find trails to run on. I keep telling myself, the dodging and weaving will make me stronger. Right now it’s simply pissing me off.
A few people asked me the other day how my training was going. The question nearly stopped me in my tracks. Good, I replied but deep down I feel like a poser.
I am counting on my new running log to keep going. I never realized how much I depended on the running folks in Grande Prairie. Even if I weren’t running with them, at least I knew everyone who was running. I hate being the new runner in town. I am banking on my charm for someone to explain where all the trails are!
