To The Moon in June!

So I’m pumped. The BMO Vancouver Half-marathon is just around the corner (eek!) and I think I’m fairly prepared for a good run. My plan: Rather than trying for a PB (personal best), I’m just going to enjoy the run, which will take runners through some of the amazing neighbourhoods and beautiful areas of Vancouver. I look forward to it 🙂

But characteristic of many runners, I’ve also been thinking about subsequent races. Yes, there’s the Calgary half marathon at the end of May, but then what? So on the recommendation of my brother, I’ve now signed up for another 10 k race- The Moon in June Road Race in Burlington, Ontario on June 2nd. The course passes through down town Burlington and the pretty waterfront during the sunset hours before ending in the Civic Square at City Hall. My brother Ry and his friend Kelly are avid runners and will also be running that night. We all had our first race 4 years ago at the Mississauga 10 k, so it will be great to run with them again 🙂

When I think about it, that trip home is turning out to be quite busy! I fly home Friday night, then I’m booked for a full-day zip-lining adventure during the day, followed by the 10k Moon in June run that night… followed by the 5k Bread and Honey Race Sunday morning. It’s going to be awesome!…. assuming my body survives the weekend.
