Allez, Allez

Well, dear readers, I'm alive in writing this so you know I survived the half marathon. I was sooo grateful that our hotel was right by the start and finish line! To be honest, I was doing ok until the last mile. That's when I realised I probably should have run more then three miles in the past 6 months for this half marathon. Regardless, it was done! 

Ready to run with my running buddy

The event itself was lovely....Well, as lovely as can be when you're running around in the cold with 25 thousand people.  I didn't bring my camera (no need to weigh myself down) so you'll have to make do with these pictures from the site. We ended up running along the Parc Floral, along the Seine to Notre Dame. We then looped back through a small shopping district (which provided HUGE motivation for me... "Finish this buy that purse. Don't puke buy those shoes") to finish at the parc. 

I'm so glad it's over. I will never sign up for another half marathon again!

Sneak Peak- The feeling of complete ELATION upon finishing the half marathon this weekend! 

My internet is acting up so I'll fill you in shortly on all the gory details of the run and the delicious details of the food eaten afterwards :) 

Zut Alors!

Now that the wedding is over, I've got no projects! The house is pretty much decorated. I've already started my Christmas shopping, so now what? (Defo not ready for baby!)

I got talked into running another half marathon. I haven't run in AGES...seriously stopped running after the incident in India.  The fun news is that it's not until March (Thank God!) and it's PARIS! That should keep me motivated, mais non?

I've started a very, very basic running program in the tune of "Let's make sure you can run a mile" before you start training for 13. Any good running song recommendations, please send them my way! It's gonna by a long winter! 

Brutal

An update on the half marathon with pictures. I had many pictures of me running to chose from; however, most make me look like I am about to DIE...sooo here are pics from the best of the bunch. They are taken from the MarathonFoto.com site.

Look at the concentration.


So happy to almost be done!
