BMO Vancouver Half-Marathon- I Will Conquer You!

BMO Vancouver Marathon. I’ll be running the half 🙂

So it’s official- I’ve signed up for my second half marathon! Last year, I completed the gruelling run in Calgary with a time of 1:55:23. This year? I’m off to Vancouver for the BMO Vancouver Half-marathon. May 6, 2012 is the big day, which means that as of today, there are 88 days until my body asks WTF and why are you doing this. I won’t be in pain alone, though. Friends Shari (who I ran the half with last year), Robin and Laura have also committed to the run (and now that they’ve been mentioned here, it’s legit and they can’t back out!). 

Fancy new New Balance shoes. Yay.

I’m thinking that a time of 1:50 is a good goal for this year. I guess I should start running again if I want to achieve that. 🙂 At least I have some brand-spanking new shoes to help! All I need now is lululemon gear, because according to lululemon, all you need to do is layer up in their gear and you can go from couch potato to running a half-marathon! (Well, that’s what Robin thinks anyway…)

Apparently from lululemon’s website. We got this!
