    Default Running a half-marathon today

    Running Red Deer half today. Didn't get much sleep! Hope I can run faster than the 1:17 I did last year.

    If you click the heels of your yellow sneakers together are you magically transported back to Sweden?
    So that's 12 miles? Just using your feet? That's crazy!

    13.1 miles actually...

    It is great to have some speed in the legs as I am approaching the big 40!
