36 Weeks to Half Marathon

My goal is to run the Valley Harvest Half Marathon, on Sunday, October 11th in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. 21.1km.

First a Flu

This week started off with recovering from a weekend flu. I decided that Sunday would include running as well as my snowboarding lessons. But this Sunday I was shut down with a flu. Monday, I pushed myself out the door for a run! This was the first time I’d run my Highway 14 laps in the daylight!!
