Team Diabetes update- change of venue
While I am very disappointed not to make it to Dublin this year, I am very excited to do the Okanagan Marathon on October 12th (which also has a Half Marathon and 10k event). I'll be including a visit to my sister in Abbotsford, the reason I'm running in the first place! I haven't seen Dana since months before her diagnosis!!!

My training schedule has been revamped a few times. For the remainder of this semester I will try to keep up a 3-4 run/week schedule. With runs of 5-10km each. In April I will begin the real Marathon training (yikes!)
I've been suffering from insomnia which has affected my energy levels, and unfortunately my training. This week I got in only one run. On a positive note, I got in a swim and a bike trainer session. Here's hoping for better sleep and good running in the upcoming week! :)
