32 freakin' kilometres!

That's how far I ran on Sunday. Four hours and sixteen minutes of run, walk, run, walk. Best part? No dogs. Worst part? Keeping track of the 140 laps I had to run. Minus 25 degrees doesn't agree with my lungs, so I drove to Spruce Grove and ran the track at the Tri-Leisure Centre. Now that I've completed 3/4 the distance of a full marathon, I think I can, I think I can.

Second best part of the run? The Banana's-a-Whey smoothie from Booster Juice after I finished. Nectar of the gods. Better than sex. Especially since sex after that run would have been physically impossible for me anyway.

Ordered my race singlet (I think it's the shirt I'll be wearing) today - and I have no idea what size. I told them to make it loose-fitting. Still a lot of jiggling when I should be jogging.

All for now - Leah made lasagna, and I need energy for hockey tonight.
