It’s not the Heat it’s the Humidity….we’ve been in the midst of a heat wave since the weekend so that means the return to early morning runs! Making the shift is always a little tough the first few days, but I do love the feeling of being home and done long before the kids have to be out the door for school.
And speaking of school….we have finally hit the home stretch! Tomorrow is the last day 🙂 Hard to believe that I will soon be mom to a 2nd grader and a middle-schooler! As we’ve been inching closer to the last day of school, the boys have been steadily adding to our Summer Bucket List – they’ve got big plans for the next 9 1/2 weeks. Let the fun begin!
In the “What is she thinking category?“…I’ve been debating between the 5K and 10K for next week’s Finish at the 50 and then I got an email with this picture. Those are ramps inside Gillette Stadium – they’re also the final 2.2 miles of the 10K course! We all know how much I hate don’t love hills, especially at the end of a run, but believe it or not I’ve decided I’m going to do the 10K. If this crazy heat continues I may be cursing this decision…stay tuned 😉
Don’t forget….my Designer Whey Sustained Energy giveaway ends tonight at 11:00 p.m. EST
Hi Michelle- I did the 10K (my first actually) last year, and we did not have to run up the ramps, but the 5K people did. I haven’t looked at the course yet, somaybe they did change it. Good luck on your run, I may see you there 🙂
Hi Dawn – I ran it last year too and really liked the 10K course but for some reason they changed it to include the ramps – ugh! If you run it look for me, I’ll be the one doing my best turtle imitation on those ramps 🙂
I wish I could run in the AM but I’m already out the door at 5:30 going to work. I cannot wait for fall, LOL!
You’re so right: it’s the damn humidity! Ugh! REally? Up those ramps? Yikes! You’ll be great though!
Those ramps look brutal but you can do it!
Ugh! Those ramps look killer! Good luck!
I thought it looked like a fun race until I saw your picture, lol!
Have fun 😉
