Ran three easy miles to volunteer at one of the water stops of the Race for the Cure run/walk, and back after the race. Since it's a short race and a very crowded one, I didn't want to run it, but still wanted to be part of it. My mom is a breast cancer survivor, so this race has a special meaning for me. It was quite emotional to see so many people rallying for a cause.
I also wanted to be there because my co-worker Shannon was doing her first 5k. She's so cute - she asked me for training advice, so I tried to help her out as I could. Now she says she's really loving to run and wants to do a 10 miler this fall - that's very exciting. I didn't get to see Shannon but I spotted another co-worker, Liz, through the crowd and was able to cheer for her.
The weather here is getting really, really nasty... it was very humid and hot today, and tomorow it's only going to get worse. I'm hoping I can beat laziness and get out to Rock Creek Park for some trail running. As I write this I am sweating like a pig because my a/c units are not installed yet... I have a feeling this is going to be a very hot summer here, but hope I am wrong! |
