SeaWheeze.

The SeaWheeze.

Seems daunting. 

And it is. At least to me.

If you don't know, the Seawheeze is a half marathon in beautiful Vancouver, BC. Half marathon. Here's the thing. I've never ran a race more than a 5K. Plus, I mostly do intervals when I run anyway. But, somehow, my friend Carla convinced me to do it with her this summer. 

I figured I should look up how long a half marathon actually is. Trusty google never lets me down! It's a little over 21km! As daunting as that is, I still want to do it. Call me crazy! ("You're crazy." - Thanks.) But hey, that's what Lu Lu Lemon is all about. BHAG's - Big Hairy Audacious Goals. 

I can relate to more of these than I'd like to admit.

Luckily, there are two things that make me think I can do this. 1. It's over 7 months away. 2. They have a training plan. Two actually. One for beginners, and one for those in the intermediate level (hard pass). So here's to hoping that this actually works! I'm about to get super out of my comfort zone. But I'm looking at it as a good thing. Wish me luck!
