Well, it’s official

June 9, 2010

I enrolled in the half marathon today, set to go next month (Sunday 18th). I think my personal trainer thinks I’m mad, but at least she believes I’ll finish. Note I said finish: not finish well. If I crawl over the line, so be it. Oh well, I’m not running to break records. No, I’m running [...]
