I'm going to Iceland!!!

I love, love, love to travel.

The semester I spent in Germany was undoubtedly the best 6 months of my life. Not only did I get to live like a local, but I spent most of my weekends traveling around the country and the rest of Europe.

Last year, I satisfied my need to get out of Ottawa regularly with frequent trips to New York City and I enjoyed every second of those. But lately I've really been wanting to go somewhere new.

I first started thinking about Reykjavik, Iceland a few months ago and last week I decided to register for the half marathon there in August :)!  I mean, how gorgeous is this:

I can't wait to run through this city and explore other sights like these:

I'm thinking about booking a post-race massage at the Blue Lagoon as a special treat. Doesn't that look so amazing?!

So this is what I'll be looking forward to and training for in the next 3 months!

Have you ever been to Iceland?
Do you travel for races?

    Fantastic! It's so beautiful there and I love that you're racing as well. I lived in Europe for 2 years alas I was not yet a runner so didn't take advantage of the awesome races I could have done. Boo.
