The Ottawa Half Marathon is this Sunday. Woo-hooo! The forecast calls for sun and a high temperature around 28 C/83 F. Since I have had absolutely no opportunity to train in hot weather (recall that many of my training runs took place in sub-freezing temps), I'm a little concerned about this development. The heat could be a real shock to my system. Also, I'm not quite as fit as I would like to be. Originally my plan was to run like a fiend throughout the month of May as final preparation, but the Cold From Hell pretty much wrecked that idea. In short, I probably won't be breaking the tape ahead of the Kenyans. But overall, I feel good to go. I trained enough to get back into shape, and my knees and hips haven't crumbled into dust yet, so in a way I've already met my goals. And I'm looking forward to my first road race since, um--Grade 7? Ah, the glory days of Bellevue Creek cross country.
Wish me luck!
