Iron ....What?!

So I haven't updated this blog for some time. Since August, I ran another two half marathons making it 20 total I've completed thus far (yay!). Both went pretty well. With each race, I picked a pace and pretty much stuck with it. I didn't want to push myself in fear of hurting my back again. I've been pretty good with my core conditioning, stretching and regular physio visits. I've felt pretty much back to normal and am pretty excited about future races. In fact, I've signed up for my biggest one yet: Ironman. ...and by Ironman, I don't mean this guy:


Although, I totally hope to look like him when I'm done. ;-) Well, at least FEEL like him.

It's a little nuts but this will be a really awesome challenge for me and I'm super excited about it. Attempting to train for Ironman Canada is no small feat. Ironman is a 3.86 km swim, 180.25 km bike ride followed by a 42.2km run (marathon). All of which that need to be completed back to back and in under 17 hours. 

...I'm also a little freaked out. So I decided to start a new blog documenting my training leading up to the race. This also means I won't be updating this one for now. You can read all about my new tri-training "misadventures" at www.runswithglitter.com 

Woohoo!

Thanks for reading and hope you check out my new blog! Cheers!
