Half Marathon Again

Even though some of the first words out of my mouth when I complete last fall's half marathon were "Tell me not to do this again," I've gone and signed up for another one. This one is in Toronto on the 15th of October. I'm not joining the Running Room group this time. I feel confident enough to do this on my own.

The weather so far this summer has been conducive to running - not too hot, that is. I haven't been doing too much long running but my regular runs have lengthened to at least 7 km, sometimes more. I'm hoping to have a 10 km regular run base so I should be used to at least the first half of the race.

And in other news . . . the brothers were by for a visit this past weekend. Surprisingly, no one seemed to get annoyed or upset with anyone else this time around. I guess everyone was happy. And I was offered the opportunity to teach 2 courses in the fall - something I will follow up with even though it means being busy for a semester at least. I hope to position myself for the chance to get on full time - if that's what I want.

I should post another vegetable garden shot so people stop thinking of it as a gravesite. It looks a little greener now.
