Watching all those people running around London today left me exhausted. Unfortunately when you combine all that work (watching), with 3 cups of coffee and no workout for myself, I was too tired to nap. And since I was way to hungry to sleep in this morning, I'm suddenly too tired to blog.
It was a gratifying day however as I got to witness many special people to their thing.
Hat's off to friends Ky and Deb for their first ever 5K!!
Hat's off to Miguette for now her third!!!
And old hat, but still big kudos to Odd John and Grampa Brett for their half marathon!!
I continue to be amazed at the ratio of men and women at theses events. Of the 2000 people that competed today almost 1300 were women. Wow!
And the best part of the day for both Roo and I (other than watching) was waking up at 6 am knowing we were just gonna be watching!!
As to my own status, I'm pleased to tell you what I forgot to tell you yesterday, and that is the fact that I never had to consider cutting my run short because of my calf. I think I have it back under control.
Of course because of my switch up I still have to do my long bike tomorrow, and despite some positive indicators a few days ago, the current weather forecast does not look very encouraging. It will be cold in the morning, and once it warms up a bit we can look for wind and rain. I will make my decision in the morning whether to give it a try in the cold, or head to the basement. Unfortunately those are the only 2 options. We shall see.

Thinking about you and Roo enjoying your day in this way makes me happy! Good on ya and all of your special peeps!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was a great day like this! I love races for this reason; everyone comes together to either race or to cheer loved ones, and it's just such a day of accomplishment and positivity. I'm so happy for all of them, and especially Deb and Ky for their first!
