When I woke up bright & early to run the 10k, I'll be honest, I was not excited. I felt like I had slept off and on for a total of about 2 hours the night before because Laila was being a pain in the butt. I also woke up to the sounds of a downpour outside. Yuck. I don't know about you, but I have zero desire to run in the rain. As Gil mentioned, he wasn't extremely thrilled to stand outside in the rain for an hour waiting for me to run by for 2 seconds either. Haha. What a trooper. :) The year that I ran the 25k, there was amazing weather...but we didn't get that lucky this year!
Of course I had left my raincoat at home, but luckily Gil's sister had one I could borrow. By the time we had gotten down to the course, the downpour had slowed to a mist and it wasn't too bad. Sometime around the last mile, the rain started coming down a bit more but by then I was running up a hill and couldn't think of anything else besides "don't walk now, don't walk now"!
I'm happy to say that I sprinted the last leg of the race once the finish line was in sight. I love finishing fast!
Here's that soaked, freezing picture of me from the race:
Riverbank run...Woot!
