Holidays
I am on holidays all week, but I am not off the hook from training!
I am visiting my Mom over on the Mainland and we will be running together! She is actually quite a bit faster than I am, so I have some hard work ahead of me!
Having a running buddy helps me; if you don't have one, I recommend it!
Talk to you when I return—have a great week!

Me in Training
Well, I just started my training clinic for the half marathon as part of the Royal Victoria Marathon and so far, so good.
I don’t know why, but every year I get slower instead of faster, so this time I’m hoping to change that!
Running clinics are really good for accomplishing certain “running goals” because there are leaders and other runners that can give you advice—even with stretching!!
I was out for a run on Sunday with the running group and I told the girl next to me that the front of my right hip has been bothering me, and then she showed me a great stretch!!
I went to my chiro yesterday to get all straightened out and adjusted and sure enough, he showed me the same stretch that the girl in the running group showed me…who knew?
That’s the great thing about the clinics, it’s a team effort and you can learn from the other runners.
A lot of clinics are just getting started up now, so whether you plan on doing the full, half, or 8k run, now is the time to start training.
Good luck!
