Hackweight’s BodyBlog

For some reason I decided to do away with 2008 by running a half-marathon. Well, actually it wasn’t a race per se, I just wanted to go the distance because I had never really run beyond 10k and I wanted to end the year with a bang. So in the snow and wind chill of -22C, I ventured out yesterday afternoon and did it.

Now, I’m spending New Year’s Day on the couch watching football and nursing a right knee and left foot, but I feel a hell of a lot better than if I told myself, "Well, it would be nice to run 22k by the end of the year, but…" I’ll feel fine by the weekend and now I can spend some time getting ready for getting back to eating right and training hard in 2009.
