Today, is one of those days that is a pure tease. It's February and I am running in a tank top in 60 degree weather thinking about how wonderful the months to come are. It just never works that way. Those fluke nice days in February just give me a taste, more like only a droplet of Spring, and then terrible weather creeps from behind the corner to get us a few more times. But who am I to be negative about such a wonderful running day in February!
So as I am running, I am thinking about LA and how it will be similar to this. Unfortunately, the only thing similar was the weather and the disgusting port-a-potty I had to stop in (well, from what I have heard). I came up with way more differences:
- Instead of dodging puddles of melted snow, other racers will be dodging to get around me during the race.
- Crowds of people will be cheering me on from the sidelines; not brown snow littered with trash that only crunches when I accidentally step on it.
- Bikers won't be zooming by leaving their trail splashing on my face
- And, I'll be running 26.2. miles, instead of 4 Miles (which turned into slightly more)
As I finish this post, I almost want to delete it, because it sounds as if I had a horrible run today when in actuality, I had the best run I have had in weeks. Or maybe, it's because I just know that LA will be so much better than the Leawood trails that I am accustomed to.
We have our first 20 Mile run this weekend! And another Sewing Saturday Fundraiser (why I scheduled it after my 20 Mile run is unknown to me)! Look for an update!
