One more month...

The countdown is in it's final stage now. One more month until I depart on my long awaited vacation!

To all my close friends, that means only 1 more month of having to hear my countdown and talk about the trip. On the flip side, it also means only 7 weeks until you get to hear all of the stories about what took place while I was away and to be bombarded with the pictures that I took while away. Either way you look at it, I know you are all considering yourselves very lucky!

Since I know how much everyone loves my countdowns, I have another one to start. The countdown to the Mississaugua marathon! Thanks to Shaundra, I don't need to put much effort into figuring it out - her countdown began yesterday I believe. 124 days until the half marathon! I had better get my butt in gear and start my walking! I believe based on my training schedule, I will head out for about 1/2 an hour this evening. Thankfully the weather isn't too bad and will hopefully be pleasant this evening for a nice stroll down by the water. 21km seems so long right now...I could actually walk to work with 5 km to spare! I think this is going to start something good for me - I could start walking to the movie theatre instead of driving! We'll see how well that will work out on the first extreme heat alert this summer with the air quality down the crapper - I think my air conditioned car might start calling my name. But I am going to try and be better about that sort of thing. And if the walking works out for me and I come to find myself in better shape, maybe I'll start jogging or running...it's a far stretch to think of that right now, but keep checking back and I'll inform you of my progress!

Take care peeps! Talk to y'all soon!
