You guys are funny!

Thanks for the suggestions, but I think I'll stil to the 'thons as opposed to the 'thlons... I could really use the cross-training, but I don't have any interest in tri's/du's. For now.

I should have known at least one of you would mention the Ultra. Sure, a short time ago I probably said "I'll never run a marathon" but I don't think I'll be going any further than this for a while.

So the blog title remains in limbo for now, until I can think of something good. 2009 race plans coming soon...maybe it'll hit me then. :)

But before I get ahead of myself, I still have a 10K coming up in two weeks (Oasis Zoo Run) and a half marathon in 4 (Road2Hope Hamilton). Not sure what to expect for the 10K because it's through the ZOO, so there will be lots of tight turns, rolling hills and animal-watching! My 10K PR was a down-hill race on a straight stretch of road, so I doubt I can come close to that, not to mention being only 3 weeks after my first marathon. Definitely going for a PR in Hamilton on November 2nd and hoping to finally crack the 2:00:00 barrier.

Went for a nice 8.25K this morning in the cool, crisp and refreshing October air. This is my favourite time of year. Pace was quick at 5:21/KM. I may try something a little longer tomorrow, but I may also be slightly hungover from my hubby's Birthday bash tonight... so we'll see.

Have a great weekend!

have fun tonight... wish him a happy birthday from us! i was supposed to run the zoo race too... i enjoyed it last year as it was my first "real" race. You'll do an amazing job in both, and i am confident you'll break the 2hr barrier :)

hmmmm-didn't know about that Hamilton half and now I'm tempted, especially as there is an extra hour's sleep the night before...

The Hamilton half (running partner and I were just talking about it today) goes RIGHT by our default long run route in Confederation Park..it's flat as a board, you'll like it.

Happy Birthday to your Hubs! Way to get out there and train again. I think you are well-positioned to run a sub two hour marathon!

Thanks for the comments they meant the world to me!

It's all good. I think we need more runners to stay put anyway. It seems like they all venture over to the tri route . . . but not me. That stuff scares the skiz outta me LOL
