Wow what a Run....

Rain,Rain go away!! Pretty much the thought of the day.
BMO Vancouver Half Marathon today..and yes it started raining as soon as we were lining up to head off...GO FIGURE!!!
Didn't have the best day....still getting over whatever it was that made me sick..so preceded to throw up twice..thank goodness for aid stations..the Gatorade made the gross taste go away..so the Mantra for the rest of the race was "One foot in front of the other"!!! Thanks Dean I'm using it!! And it seemed to work.
PB for me...wonder what is next on the list!

Package Pick Up Tomorrow..Race Sunday!!!

Well the time has come...I've been watching the weather this week and it's not looking favorable..not much I can do about it though.
Pick up my goodies tomorrow, go for one round of the course..in the car..then have an early night!!
Bagel and banana for breakfast I think..thats what I ended up with when I did the Half in Kelowna...the place we were staying well they didn't have Oatmeal on the Room Service Menu...So $13 later I got a bagel and banana!! Highway Robbery!!
Wish me luck, few things not working for me however just more of a challenge!!
Bring on Sunday :-)

Taking it Easy....

Well this week is the one I most look forward to..the one where I get to take it easy!!!
Hitting the Yoga Mat for the next few days..hopefully the cold will go...the muscles will be ready..as well as the mind..come Sunday....

How to Run Your Best Race at Runner's World

Thought of the week....

Race Day can be full of excitement, expectations (mainly from ourselves),and yes nerves...stay focused and remember...it's you against the clock..not you against the person in front of you..who's been running for 20 years (to your 1 )....

Not long to go now!!

Well its about 2 weeks to race day....Heading out this afternoon for my last long run...perfect day out there, so hope all goes well!!
No doubt the nerves will start to set in shortly..Usually do. Going to focus on Yoga next week to get myself in the right mind frame. Then enjoy the day.....

QUOTE OF THE WEEK.....

Before you make a choice ask yourself,is this going to take me closer to, or further away from my Goal..Anon
