Ottawa Half Marathon

In the previous year I had my sister challenge me to do a 10K about 3 weeks prior the event, which I untimely declined due to the fact I felt I could muscle out that sort of distance while not really having any real prep done while not enjoying the activity of running itself. So long passes an other year and around her birthday I gave her a ring, and challenged her to complete the half marathon, giving myself ample amount of time to prepare myself.

She agreed.

This gave total prep time roughly 12 weeks until the event took place. The logic being I knew I was going to finish the event and running the entirety of the time but I did not have a clue as to a pace or where I would finish. I gave myself the logic of an A goal, and a B goal - which I did not know how acheiveable it was going to be.

• Goal A - Finish under 2:00:00 hours

• Goal B - Somewhere about 2:15:00 hours

Result: 2:17:42
