After melting in near-90-degree heat at the GW Parkway Ten Miler this weekend, where I ran a disappointing 1:26:10, I couldn’t help but start obsessing about the forecast for this Sunday, when I’m running the Broad Street Ten Miler with Jen, my best friend and training buddy.
I’m happy to share the good news from the National Weather Service: Mostly sunny, with a high near 66. Whew! I’m looking forward to the race all the more.
Also, I looked up the elevation profile (I’m seriously going to stop procrastinating after this post. For reals.), and learned that this race is, in fact, mostly downhill — especially the last half. I’d hoped to take it easy this weekend after a stellar performance last Sunday, but it might be the other way around.
Glad you are looking ahead to next weekends Ten Miler…. oh and a 1:26 ain’t that bad! Congrats on making it 10 miles in the nasty heat we had yesterday morning 🙂
I’m really looking forward to this weekend too! Not sure how I’ll do, but it’s not how fast you run it’s who your with, right?
