Yeah, that was my first thought when I opened the door at 520am Sunday morning to head down to the race. I opened the door to discover that it was pouring rain, cold and windy. Not exactly my idea of the ideal running conditions. So I went back inside, put another layer of clothes on, summoned all my energy and headed out.
Now my leg was the last one which meant that I had to wait about 4 hours from the actual start of the race at 630 until I would start running. This turned out to be a good thing because by the time I was ready to start it had stopped raining and the sun was out. It was still pretty chilly with the wind, but it definitely could have been worse!
I managed to finish my 6.2 miles in about 69 minutes. This is a little slower than my goal time of 62 minutes, but considering my leg had the most elevation changes (ie the most uphill portions!) I felt pretty good about that. My main goal was to finish without having to walk and I did that so I felt pretty good. Zach and Wendy came out on the course to cheer me on so that was really nice. Then when I got to the finish line the rest of my team was waiting there for me so that was cool too.
This week has just flown by. Zach's birthday is tomorrow... I can't believe he is already 11!! Damn I feel old some days! He has an orchestra concert on Saturday morning, then we are doing a Laser Tag party in the afternoon. Should be a fun weekend! I'll try to get some pictures posted on Sunday.
The Bad Boyz suffered their first loss last week. The team that we played was good, but if we had just been able to hit the ball we could have beat them. Its weird, at practice the boys hit the ball without any problems but during the game they don't swing the bat as well. We play again tonight, so hopefully we will get back on the winning track.
Gotta get going, hope everyone has a great day!
