Yay for fall!

Ok, so maybe it's not fall just yet and maybe I would prefer a little more summer...

BUT, I love this temperature for running!! It was about 20 degrees today when I was out and it was so nice not being covered in sweat after 50 metres!

I picked up my race kit today for the Toronto Women's 5K this Saturday. The only complaint I have is about the size of the t-shirt. I ordered a medium and it's TINY!!! I guess maybe most runners don't have the boobs that I do but this shirt looks like it's made for a 12-year old!

I've been really good this week about getting out for my training runs. I'm thinking I'd like to do the Las Vegas 1/2 in 2:15 so I'm training for that.

I think that's it for now...

Can you say HOT?!

The temperature was somewhere around 28 degrees when we started and only went up from there. My pace was way slower than usual, as I had to walk significantly more often than usual. Thank heavens for water stations - I hardly drank anything, just poured it all over my head!

Temperature aside, what a great race! For a first-time event, this race was amazingly well-organized and a lot of fun. The course was great, as was the start/finish area. There were just over 300 women running, which meant there was no lineup for post-a-potties and very little delay or bunching at the start. I'll definitely do this race again next year, although I'm hoping the weather will cooperate and be a little cooler!
