We've been having some pretty amazing weather over the last few days, the sun is out and we are able to wear short sleeves...ah yes, perfect for a first race. So, I had no choice but to smile when I saw the forecast for my first ever race...
Yes, that is snow mixed in with rain and a maximum of 7°C (44°F). I guess I don't have to worry about getting over-heated :)
Anyways...this has been a crazy busy week...but, I did get my runs in and I am happy with how well they went. I did a 6K on Wednesday morning and it went surprisingly well, considering I only woke up after about 1Km of running. This early morning run reminded me how nice it is to start my day this way. Then on Thursday another smooth 8K run non-stop. I'm feeling ready for my 10K race on Sunday...and I don't care about the weather, bring it on, I've trained in worse...I think.
The weekend will be just as crazy busy as my week was...so I'll be back after my race, hopefully with pictures of me smiling and crossing the finish line!
*Edit: I saw the pulmonary specialist today and my lungs are doing great...Yay!! He agrees wholeheartedly that running is one of the best things I've done to improve my lung capacity...it's working! :)
Cheers!

Have a great run on Sunday! I agree with the weather - you can't do anything but smile and just keep going.
Happy Friday! Run on.
Oh no, I hope the weather is not too nasty! Have a great run!
Best of luck in your race Sunday. Sounds like it's going to take a lot more than some bad weather to slow you down. Hopefully the sun will decide to make an appearance.
What? Snow? Eekk girl, I hope it's not too bad. Good luck to you on your race!
Good luck on Sunday! I can't wait to read all about it. A little pluie et neige won't keep you down! (I wish I could write that whole sentence en francais but my French isn't that good anymore...if it ever was)

Hey - there isn't a thing we can do about the weather. You and I both know that you have run in worse weather - I have seen the pictures - just dress appropriately.
You have trained hard - really hard and are ready for this race . . . all that is left . . . is to RUN and have FUN.
I just know you are going to have a great time. I will be thinking of you this weekend. ENJOY and have a great time. SMILE!!!!
