Another reason I decided to take the summer off from the cartoon was to focus on training for my first half marathon. It was yesterday – and it went very well. I finished in the time I’d planned. The weather completely cooperated. And I had a great team of supporters welcoming me over the finish line. The question remains as to what is next – a full marathon? Get a beter time at the half (if I’d been ten years older, my current time would have won me a medal!) or just stick to friendly 5 and 10K races? I’ll have to think about all that. There is much to learn from setting a goal and meeting it. But also a question of which goals to set next. Alice isn’t worried about all that. She’s just happy to have her team medal.
Belatedly: Congratulations, MK! That’s a great feat regardless of what’s next.
