May 24th

I'll refer to this weekend as Victoria Day...I have a hard enough time keeping track if the days of the month, let alone calling May 18th, May 24th!  Whatever...the start of marathon training is right around the corner, and Tely training has begun!

I was hoping for warmer weather.  Last Saturday morning were at the start of our favourite trail run to Skanky Tim's wearing what the forecast deemed appropriate, when we were detoured for jackets...because of the snow!  But we got 'er dun!  11k for most, but 16k for someone special who did LTR as a warm-up, then the trail! Susanne...

Sunday was a day of rest for me.  I did act as cheerleader at the Harbour Front 10k. There were 17 PRCers racing in rain and cold.  Congratulations to all! It's awesome at the finish line! Watching the first finishers 'fly' over the finish line at the speed of sound!  And the last few, at a much slower pace, with the stamina to endure the conditions for close to two hours! Gotta give credit!  Awards should be presented to everyone!  They are ROCKSTARS!

The conditions were a little better over the course of the week...the sun was shining...but the wind was cold...it has to get better, right? We have to remember last summer when the temp was close to 40°, how challenging the warmer weather can be. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate…

This coming week I'm looking forward to more runs with a few ladies who have joined in with our pace group...Hannah, Sarah, Susan, and Sherry!  Welcome aboard ladies. The more the merrier!!

May the wind be at your back, the sun in your face, and friends by your side...
