My training has been okay. Not where I want it, but hopefully that will change starting this week. I got the back-to-school creepin' crud and spent one weekend in bed hopped up on Nyquil. I've still got the last little bit, but getting better.
This past weekend was my crazy race weekend. I did 3 races in 24 hours. I had such a great weekend running and spending time with Mike. We really enjoyed our weekend together.
The weekend started out with the Oasis Zoo Run. I ran the 10K. It starts outside the zoo and then does a loop through the zoo. It's early in the morning so the animals you go by are awake and watching you. It was cool and rainy at the start of the race, but it turned out to be a great morning. Here we are before the race.
I felt really good through most of the race, but I forgot how hilly the zoo is. Wow! But I finished and was happy with my time.
After the zoo run, it was in the car and up North we went. I was running in the Run For Your Lives 5k zombie run. It was a BLAST!!!!!!!! The obstacles were fun and not too difficult.
Another really cool thing was that Mike could watch almost the whole race. They had it set up where spectators had great viewing.
Of course there were zombies trying to get you!
Then came the final obstacles...through the tunnels and under the electric fence.
At the end I didn't survive. I was turned into a zombie.
After the race, we drove back to Toronto to spend the night. Sunday we got up for my last race of the weekend. The race was on Centre Island in Toronto. It was a pretty morning and a nice flat course. I got into the spirt of the Island Girl 5k.
It wasn't my best time, but I was happy with it considering I was pretty sore from my first two races. I had a good time though.
I'm taking two days off to recover and then Wednesday going for a short run while at the University. I wasn't sure that I could do it, but I did! I'm so glad we had a great weekend together!
