Countdown to Spring Fling

We are closing in on our fourth half marathon of 2014. In five days Kaitlin and I will be running The Spring Fling Running Thing in Smiths Falls, Ontario. This race is typically held on the Cataraqui Trail, but because of this years’ endless winter, it has been moved to a road race. Although part of me is happy about this change, the competitor in me wanted to see how much time I could take off of last years’ race, on the same terrain.

This weekend will mark our first RACE of the season. We are coming off of a much needed six week break, which has felt like an eternity. During this time, Kaitlin and I have ran some amazing long runs together in Toronto (including a PB for Kait). To top it all off; this past weekend, a group of us spent some time working on SPEED with Michael Stashin of runeffortlessly.com which was fantastic (as usual)!!  The only thing that would have made it better, is if Kaitlin could have been there too.

So, we’re off, in search of that coveted BUFF and handmade medal to add to our collection. Rested, and injury free......the butterflies have already gathered in my stomach!

Happy Running!

Melissa & Kaitlin
