I know this is an old wives tale, but it works for me.

It’s been raining for 2 days. I do not RUN IN THE RAIN!!

 Luckily I did run Tues evening.  It was an awful run…too humid, too tired, too hungry. After 2 miles I could barely move but managed to run/walk 2 more miles.

I ran again Wed evening and felt so much better.  I did 3 miles. 

Now I keep my fingers crossed that the rain will stop.  Tomorrow is the Susan G. Komen Race for Cure. I am running on a team with students & staff  at the law school where I work.  I think there are 19 of us.  We have a team tee shirt – moisture wicking one too!!

I will be running for: Judy, Mary Ann, Maria, Ava, Sally, Phyllis –my friends who have survived breast cancer  and for Dottie —who did not!

What is my goal for this race?

It’s going to be very crowded – probably at least 3,000 racers. It starts up hill and it’s slow going until the park.  So, it’s not a race for a PR.

My 2008 time was 32:49, my 2009 time was 31:15.  Those were both gun times not chip times.  My chip time this year for the Freihofers (same course) was 30:39. My goal, I guess, is under 30:39!

Happy Running! Have a nice weekend and good luck to all those racing!
