Tapering sure has its benefits. The biggest, of course, is preparing my body to run 42.2 kms in about a week. The bib database was released today. Runners are able to search their bibs ahead of the race weekend to save time at the busy expo. My number is #3101. Not sure if there’s any significant in it. Maybe I will amaze everyone and run the marathon in 3:10.
Because the weather has been so nice, I am spending as much time as I can outside. I am not running as much but I am walking at lunch and to crossfit in the mornings. My body is welcoming the rest. Last Sunday I went to Sylvan Lake for a walk along the lakeshore I am lucky to live only 20 minutes away from this resort town. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to go swimming in the lake. Alberta lakes are very cold compared to Ontario ones so you have to be pretty brave. I often see a lot of people with wetsuits.
I can’t believe the countdown to Calgary is in the single digits. I am so looking forward to running this race – whatever the outcome.
I can't believe it is 8 days away either!! You are going to rock it! See you there 😉
Yes 🙂 You too@
I am so jealous: you guys will all be at the same marathon how fun! Enjoy you last week before race day 🙂
Yes. Quick you still have time to sign up! I have room in my hotel room!
Maybe I should borrow your number for race day!
