Hmmmm, good thing I wasn’t (realistically) looking for a PR on Monday…
Not to say I’m throwing this marathon away. But I cannot control the weather, and this type of weather is nothing to sneeze at when there’s a marathon at stake. Of course the forecast might change 26.2 times before Monday. Of course I want to have a solid race. Of course I dream of a PR. Of course I want to finish strong. I’ll adjust accordingly to ensure I finish. Extra bonus – no supplemental oxygen or wheelchair. Solid finish. Period.
Now, back to my top 3 priorities for this week: eat, drink, rest. Oh, and the periodic weather site stalking. Duh.
I really hope the weather cooperates - crazy Boston weather, you just never know.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Monday!!!
Thanks Michelle. I guess the weather will always be part of the challenge w/ these races.
DeleteGood luck on Monday. I hate it when the weather keeps changing!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the whole, "Blink and it will change" does apply around here! Thanks for the wishes - even w/ the ugly temperatures, I'm still excited!
DeleteI thought of you this morning as they were saying it is going to be the hottest marathon on record! Ugh!!! I'll be praying for clouds!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy - I appreciate the cloud prayer :) My husband muttered this morning, "Guess I'll be packing salt tablets for this one!"
DeleteIt sounds like the weather report just keeps changing, so I say who cares! You've trained for this badboy, and come 80 and sunny or rainy and cold, you'll be running the streets with 20,000 other amazing runners :) It'll be an amazing experience and I wish you all the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks....I'm with you!
DeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on Monday! It's been a crazy week of changing forecasts so let's pray it changes again. Not counting on it though and have revised the goal.

You too Jill! I think half the battle of running a marathon is dealing w/ the unexpected - like 85 degree weather for one!
