58

That is the amount of kilometres I clocked today. I rocked a 52k bike ride .. had some gorgeous scenery which always helps! After that I figured I'd put my feet up and spend the evening relaxing. Turns out I clocked 6 more kilometres with Tiff! It was an awesome evening run! The tea afterward was especially delightful.

I am slowly starting to like my new shorter hair. Some perks:

1. It never gets in my face
2. It dries way quicker
3. Requires much less product.
4. Still looks pretty great after 58k!

So on that note .. I would attach a photo except that I don't have one on my computer. I have one on the Mac though so if I get up to get more food I'll edit this post and throw it up. Considering I'm craving another one of those chocolate chip cookies (DAD! Stop bringing delicious treats into the house I can't turn down!!) I may actually end up in the kitchen before too long.

Actually ..a quick check of photobucket shows me I already saved it in there. So here you go:


So .. that's my hair. I'll update this post with run photos after my momma uploads them for me! Until then, enjoy this lovely evening :)

Updated with photos from the Fiddler's Fun Run!

Training.

Tonight I did what I had been putting off.
I made my training schedule for both the Fiddler's Run& the Tour for Kids. It's PSYCHO. It also started on Monday ..but that's because I had awesome intentions of being a super star and starting my training Monday. Obviously, that only sort of happened.

The official training sheet has been printed off and will be posted on the fridge. I may end up printing off a lot of them and scattering them around my house to encourage me to stop doing what I am doing (wasting time most likely) and go do some work. Now, this schedule is PSYCHO. I am already in pretty decent shape though ..can run a 10k and cycle 50k. So it builds slow enough that I SHOULD be able to complete my kilometres a day. If not, it's not the end of the world. Who even trains for a half marathon (possible 10k) and 3-day cycle tour?!


..okay, so probably lots of people but whatever. I'm trying to console myself here. Now, the long awaited (for me, at least. You folks didn't even know this was ever going to exist) schedule has been made and every attempt in the world will be made to keep this as close as possible. All changes will be tracked and kilometres at the end of the week counted.

Yes. I know. It's Tour for Kids, not Ride for the Cure.
Whatever. I'm tired.

So, there's my summer. What do you have planned for the upcoming beautiful months?! Perhaps helping out my cause?!

I also have to give a big shout out& thank you going out to Meaghan Beaton who donated to my cause! She was my first official not-in-Canada donation :D Thanks, girly! Can't wait for you to come back to the island :D
