My first race of the season

Two weeks today and I'll be running my first race of the season, a half marathon in Fredericton. My training has been hit and miss, so I need this race to re-motivate. My goal is to be around 1:55. The numbers are looking good for the event and son Sean is doing the full. Another running buddy is doing the half, so it should be a good day.

I was in Windsor NS this past weekend for a wedding and also to a do little research of my family roots around the Minas Basin. Its always good to catch up with family past and present, but the real plus is all the other people to meet along the way. As soon as conversation begins, one soon realizes that we're all pretty closely connected. Yesterday morning I met a guy at breakfast who ran the 2009 Boston I did and is going to Fredericton this year as well.
