Slug blog

It’s true what they say about timekeeping in the mountains. There’s time and there’s Canmore time.

With registration for the Terry Fox Run starting at 8.00am I wandered over to the registration point, and no-one was there.

I diligently trained for 7 weeks, not missing one single training session and not cutting one second or one metre off my training schedule.

Did I enjoy it? Well the days when the sun was shining bright were easy to do. I was champing at the bit to get out in the sun, running alongside the river with the mountains, sometimes snow tipped, all around me.

After an obscenely long break from slug blogging I thought it was time that I got back into it. I’m pleased to see that people do read these blogs. They don’t post comments to them, but they do read them.

My training targets for 2007 were blown completely out of the window by my husband’s cancer diagnosis in March. Boy is it hard to train effectively when you think that the most important person in your life might die.
