I guess I better start by introducing myself.

| Hi! I'm Tara. |
| I am a new blogger and blossoming social media flower. I also work for Canada’s largest fitness company, GoodLife Fitness. I travel across Canada opening brand new locations and spreading the fitness dream. I am also a certified fitness and cycling instructor with over 10 years of experience teaching in the fitness industry. In addition to being passionate about fitness, I also love fashion and DIY projects. I also like to...laugh. love. hug. eat dessert. drink wine. travel. you get the idea... |
I am actually here to “announce” (yes, yes it’s very
official) something very exciting. I am a wannabe runner. I am not built for
running in the traditional sense. I have short legs and a big booty. But I
enjoy it. Not as much as my dog does, but I do like it. I have completed two
half marathons (21km or 13.1 miles). My second one was back in September. Ever
since then I have felt like I don’t have anything to look forward to or work
towards. As a result, I have barely done any running. At all. Does this ever
happen to you after a race? I hope I am not alone. So what oh what would my
next challenge be? I know I can complete a half. Should I train and try to PR
on a third half? Should I run a few smaller races and work on my medal
collection? Run a FULL marathon? OMG. That one was immediately nixed.
So…I (along with my friend and co-worker) have decided
to…drum roll please!!! We have decided to do the Around the Bay 30km Road Race on March 24th 2013. So excited and nauseating all at once.
So, now that we have decided to run. We need a plan! Oh my! We are about 10
weeks away from race day. Time to get running. Good news. I just bought a new
Lululemon running jacket and running mittens. I knew I would need those for
something! It feels so good to have a reason to run again. I am looking forward
to training.
Here is the training plan we have decided to follow (to the
best of our abilities).
QOTD: Have you run a 30km race before? How did you train?
