I love this weather!

What wonderful weather we're having! Everyone else is complaining about how cold it is but I'm LOVING it! It was 9 degrees when I got up yesterday and 11 degrees this morning. Perfect running weather! I actually managed 9 km bewteen the 2 days without feeling like I was about to drop dead.

Only 2 days till the City Chase! Woohoo!!

More importantly, only 1 day till SHOPPING!!!! Mel's arriving tomorrow around noon and we have a full day of running-related shopping planned. First stop is Robena in Hamilton where they have the cutest skirts and jerseys. They also have yarms, which we're both planning to buy.

Then it's off to the Runner's Shop for Fuel Belts. The Running Room doesn;t have 6- or 8- botttle belts but this place does. yay.

Then to Endurosport to look at running skirts and dresses.

I think I'm going to be spending lots of money tomorrow!

I never thought I'd say this but...

... I wish it was winter again.

It's just too hot to run! Yesterday, I ran 3K when it was 22 degrees and I thought I was going to die. All winter, I could easily do up to 5K without even bothering to take water with me. Now, I'm finished my 2 pathertically teeny bottles of water before I get 2K into a run.

The good news is that they make water belts that hold more than 2 bottles so that's going to be my next investment.

Melanie (my sister) and I have the City Chase coming up next weekend, which should be a lot of fun. It's not so much a running race as a scavenger hunt, but we figure being able to run can't hurt us!!

More later!
