Hi there! My name is Andrea and I’m an ordinary runner from Halifax, Nova Scotia where I live with my husband, my greyhound, and my two cats. Eleven weeks ago I started training for my first full marathon and yesterday the idea for ‘Run On Sentence’ was born. The idea came to me while I was running of course! I’ve been passionate about writing ever since I can remember and my love of running was established in 2013 when a friend invited me to run the 5k at the annual Bluenose Marathon in our hometown.

This blog will follow the remainder of my training journey and my day-to-day life and will be a great outlet for me to brag about all of those long runs I’ll be doing (I’m pretty sure my hubby is getting tired of hearing about it)! My goal race is the 15th annual Bluenose Marathon on May 20th, 2018 and I have been busting my butt to make sure I make it to the start line.

My love of running started as a one time ‘attempt’ at a 5k and has grown into a complete addiction over time. I’m that gal that you see out for a run when it’s -20 degrees outside and everyone else is snuggled up at home, keeping warm. Since 2013, I have run countless 5k races, a large handful of 10k events and 4 half marathons. I’m pretty sure I’m ready to tackle the big dream distance (or at least I will be once I’ve completed my training plan!)

In September 2017, I married Mr. Right and with the stress of the wedding over with, I decided it was time to really focus on my running goals and my dream of crossing the finish line at the end of a 42.2km race. I hope you stop back to my little piece of the internet to follow along with the daily grind that is the life of an average runner training for a not-so-average distance.

Cheers!

Andrea
