Quick Update

Wow, its just 4 days until my next marathon, the Virginia Beach Shamrock Marathon. I am excited to be able to run another marathon, it seems like forever since I ran Philly in November!

After the half marathon this weekend I unfortunately caught a little cold, I had joint aches and a little but a fever, but fortunately I felt better today, just a dry cough. I refuse to let a cold get in the way of trying my very best at this marathon. I am not sure what to expect time wise. I would love to PR, but either way, I'll be able to cross Virginia off of my 50 state list.

I have really enjoyed my last few days in Nashville. Today was nothing short of glorious. 73F, sunny. I had lunch outside with my sis at Panera bread in a short sleeve t-shirt and a skirt. I really love spending time with my sister and her family. I don't get to often since she lives in Nashville, and I live in Ontario. Here are a few pictures from the race last week.

Me (far right) -It rained the whole race, so yes I am soaking wet!

  1. Good luck with your next race!

    You sure have a lot of energy to be able to run these races so close together...you are my hero
    :-)
    You may just push me right over the edge to sign up for a full marathon...2010. I was going to do one this Oct but I've never trained in the summer and NC summers are hot/humid..so I'm looking at Feb, March 2010.

    Any suggestions?

    Hope you knock that cold out before your race

  16. We are in the same boat, you and I. I'm gearing up Shamrock on Sunday, but I'm fighting off a serious cold that I picked up at a half marathon last weekend. I'm hoping it'll be gone in time, but this cough is clinging to me...

    Best of luck out there!

  25. Tom King is my absolute favorite Nashville race! And my current PR came from running it last year in the pouring rain. I hated to not be able to run it this year. Glad it went well for you. Good luck this weekend!
