I’ve survived my first week

NICOLE OLIVER, ACTRESS

It is over 24 hours after my first Sun Run Training session, and remarkably, the derrière I am so hoping to lift a few inches from its present sub- gravity state is only mildly aching. Good news. Eric and Niki, the leaders at the Douglas Park clinic, have promised to get me to the Sun Run safely. In other words, follow the training guidelines, have fun, don’t jump ahead of the prescribed program, and I will be able to actually, potentially, even maybe enjoy running 10 injury- free kilometres in a row by April 15. Uh- huh.

The cool thing about being a part of a training group, is that I need not do these runs alone, although, I most likely will this week due to my insane work schedule.

With all due respect to those who enjoy the brisk winter weather, I am not sure who would want to begin training for their first Sun Run debating whether or not to wear skates or sneakers. I think there is something to be said for cleansing out the toxins in your body, and just over a week ago, my significant other ( Maria) and I began to do a 12- day cleanse that focused on the liver, kidneys and colon. I have lost 11 pounds since the start of the cleanse and feel like a million bucks heading into my first session so maybe this is a good thing.

Week 1 of the Sun Run training clinic was easier than I thought it would be. I think most of that feeling was due to the fact that I didn’t show up. I stayed in bed. I stayed in bed until lunch was no longer a reasonable option. I stayed in bed wishing there was some way to breathe comfortably under a blanket. I stayed in bed until you could no longer tell where I ended and the bed began. It was a Sunday morning and there was snow on the ground. SNOW! What is this, Fargo? I’ll make it to the clinic this week, because nothing mattress more to me than just duveting it and never quilting.
