It’s been a busy week so far around here – we’ve started a couple of new house projects, the boys both started camp this week (and are loving it) – which is perfect timing too as I started working with a new client developing their social media campaigns – should be a fun gig!
I also started my fall training this week and while I was psyched to get started the timing couldn’t have been worse. We’re in the middle of our 3rd heat wave of the summer here in the Northeast and with heat indexes approaching 100, I can’t seem to get up early enough to escape having my runs feel more like a swim. On the good side, the end is in sight and we should have some relief from the humidity by Sunday – just in time to run with my son in his first 5K!
I received my confirm for the B.A.A. Half Marathon yesterday morning!
Registration opened yesterday at 10 and the B.A.A. announce they’d sold out in 12 minutes – what!?! Since this is the third race in the B.A.A. Distance Medley, I didn’t have to worry about trying to register, but I was thrilled to get a text from my running buddy E telling me that she got in! It will be her first half marathon – Can not wait to run this with her!
How ‘s your week going?
Not so great, tried running on Tuesday to no avail, made it 1.5 and my heart started racing, so I stopped. I too got my confirmtaion for the BAA, really looking forward to it. I will take the next few days off, and start all over again on Sunday! I can’t believe I’m saying it but “bring on the 80’s”
I hear you – I’m actually looking forward to seeing 80 degrees! Congrats on BAA – have you run it before? This will be my first.
This is my first BAA 1/2, and my 2nd half ever. Congrats to you too, i can’t believe it sold out in 12 minutes
It’s treadmill weather here. Today it was almost 80 and 80+ % humidity at 5:30 am.
I think I may have to join you on the treadmill running soon!
Ugh I hear you on the heat. We’re at 112 heat index today. Heading to the pool shortly. I’d love to do the BAA half someday.
You should come run it one year – October in Boston, there’s nothing better! And then I could finally meet you 🙂
EEk, HOW do you run in that heat?! That is admirable!
Some days I think we’re all crazy for doing it – hopefully the worst of this heat will be over by the weekend (fingers crossed!)
12 minutes? Holy wow!!! Waited until 7:30 last night to run…still pouring sweat!
I saw that quick sell out! Amazing. Glad I didn’t have to worry about it 😉
That’s great that you didn’t have to worry about registering for the half. Hopefully it will be a great race for you!
