5K Run for Water

Well - continuing with the hot stinkin' weather theme for the week....it was stinkin' hot today.

Mary Ellen and I went to participate in the Run for water. I know I made a good choice and registered for the 5K event. I guess there was some lack of communication or maybe Mary Ellen is nuts - but she registered for the 10K. I would not want to have run 10K in this heat and humidity.

I ran and went out as I had been running - but the problem is - I have not not in the heat and humidity as I did not get my lazy *ss out the door to do so this week. So the temp hit me like a tonne of bricks and that with the hilly route took my chance of a PB away. I did the 5K in 30:00:01 and in the age group of 40-49 it put me in 4th out of 16 - yes for a time that slow to be top 5 - you know it was a small race. If I had of PB'd and everything else stayed the same I would have placed 3rd. haha. Oh well - what it will be will be. I guess I have to train harder.

Mary Ellen did great - as I said I would not have run the hills and she looked strong coming into the finish. She was only 1 minute off of here Mississauga time which was a cooler night on a FLAT course so she rocked it. :) Woo Hoo!

Snow cones after the race and a trip to Coras....then suntan time for me. Perfect day!
