Welcome To L Squared Running!

Three years ago, Lesley and Linda met at booty camp.  They had signed up to lose a few pounds, but instead ended up with a friendship that goes on for "miles."

When booty camp was done, the two decided that running would be a good way to get fit, and burn a few calories.  They started in a 5km clinic at the Pickering Running Room, and found themselves not only loosing weight, but being stronger physically and being able to run for longer periods of time.  Then they got the great idea to do a 10km run.....Then they figured a 15km run is only 5km longer than a 10km so why not........As they were getting close to the end of that run (The Acura 10 miler) they decided that a half marathon was only 6.1 km more....And then the plan was hatched to do a half marathon together.

The stage was set, but Linda suffered a training ending injury.  Lesley lost her "half - virginity" with some of their other running friends, and Linda healed.  The two then began a plan to train for their next half, and that one would be together.  However, Lesley was the one who became injured and Linda ended up loosing her "half-virginity" alone at the Disney Princess Half Marathon. 

Fast forward a year later - Both Lesley and Linda are healthy, and in good running form, and are ready to take on the San Francisco Nike Women's Half and Full Marathon on October 14th, 2012.  Lesley will be doing the half and Linda will be doing her first Full.  Both ladies believe in paying it forward and decided to run the race for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.  They need your help in reaching their fundraising goal.

This is during the Acura 10 miler where they decided that a half wouldn't be so bad!
