3 super mistakes

Posted on February 7, 2012

1 – Not stretching after my run today means that I am super stiff and achy, and cannot get comfortable without some form of charlie-horse attacking my body

2 – Only drinking 1L of water today means that I am super dehydrated and can only think about getting something to drink. Unfortunately, the last thing I feel like doing is peeing for the rest of the night. So. Torn.

3 – Having a nice, big cup of coffee at 5pm means I am super wired at 3am. It seemed like such a good idea…I was feeling foggy, I had an open can of coconut milk…then BAM! Wide a-freakin’-wake.

So, what mistakes have you made lately??

Off to the races!

After two years of non-training, I have finally registered for the Footstock 2012 half marathon! While most people were unwinding for the day, I was sitting anxiously at my computer, filling out the fields of the registration form.

And then I clicked “PAY NOW”.

Just like that, I was registered for a goal that I’ve been carrying since 2008. A goal I nearly accomplished in 2009, except for the stress fracture in my foot from over-competing with myself during the Devon duathlon that summer.

On June 9, 2012, I will be meandering through Cochrane AB for 21.1km. I’d really like to do it in 2 hours/10 minutes or less. That would keep me on pace with my personal bests of 1:29 for 15km and 1:50 for 18km in 2009.

A 6-minute kilometre for 21.1km?

Here’s hoping (and training!)

Something new

I’m deciding whether or not to move on over to WordPress…for now, MagzD Life will redirect here, but I am SO terrified to move my personal domain after the google-disaster of 2011 Stay tuned…
