If you know me well (or, not at all but have been reading my blog), then you’ll know that I like to run.

As of now, only 6 people know of my latest running plans:

I WILL BE RUNNING LE MARATHON DE PARIS on MY BIRTHDAY, APRIL 15TH, 2012!

My PARENTS will vacay to Paris WITH me – Mum and Dad are on board! This is GRAND.

I think family vacations are wonderful. The first one we’d had in ages was last Summer in Alaska. I’ve always wanted to be a member of one of those families that goes on vacations together, enjoying each others’ company as adults. That will happen this Spring EN PARIS!

Fact: I haven’t run any BIG marathons. Out of the 5 I have run, I’ve been notorious for putting all my eggs into homespun events like the Ottawa Fall Colours marathon or Hamilton or Niagara Falls while my running comrades pack off to New York, Vegas, Chicago and Berlin.

THIS WILL ALL CHANGE!

SD and I will be two of 40,000!

Am in the BLUE corral. My bib # is 17197.

Gotta run Hamilton first. November 6th!!! SO excited!!!

I broke 21 minutes in a 5K this weekend. Running this summer has been excellent. My medals are weighing down my bedpost.

***

I will not be wearing a wig, or be tied to SD with a string, or join a group of runners who have to wear similar outfits. I am not one of those people. I will go to RUN.

Then I will eat a million baguettes.

FIN.
