Hello Friends,
I participated in another 5k on Saturday. This was the Tunnel to Towers 5k in Orlando. It's still super hot here in Central Florida, and on Saturday morning in Orlando, it was also super muggy. That, combined with some sciatica issues, meant that I did NOT have my best race. My official time was 45:07. I had hoped for closer to 42 minutes, but I did my best, and that's always good enough! My friend, Connie, ran with me again, and her time was much better: 42:47. Although not a personal best for either of us, we were both in the top half of our age group, and in the top half overall, so we feel really good about our results. I guess the heat and humidity affected everyone!
Next up is the Good Cookie run in Plant City on 9/21. Does anyone think that two weeks will make a significant difference in the heat index? Probably not, but I keep telling myself that running when it's hot will make me run BETTER once it cools off. I hope I'm right!
Cheryl
