Goal Race: Half-Marathon in the Fall

It’s official — I’ve signed up for my next half-marathon!

This season I am teaming up with @oasiscanada, and I will be racing the Oasis Rock ‘n’ Roll Montréal half-marathon in September! I’m so excited to be a part of this team, and to be racing the biggest event in my hometown.

Throughout my recovery I have been optimistic, yet hesitant to commit to a race longer than 10k. I don’t yet consider myself “recovered” from this injury, and my greatest fear has been that I will get hurt again and have to start the process over. It has been a fine balance of confident-but-not-too-confident.

Today I did a 90 minute run that started a little iffy but ended up being one of my best runs in a while. I’m learning to train smarter instead of harder, and not to let my pride get in the way of progress.
