My race is in five short days and I am already losing sleep over it. Last night, I was anxious and nervous, not to mention completely revved up from a dragon boat practice, so was tossing for quite awhile before falling asleep. I need to relax; I need to sleep!
My diet for the week is already planned; my race outfit is identified; my gels are purchased; my sport massage is booked for Wednesday night…I’m nearly set. Just need to work on my mental prep and a few physical ones. Gotta shake that tired feeling, which has me worried.
Tonight, I’m doing a 10km run at race pace with a Running Room group. I need the group tonight because I am tired, I feel worn out, and the group will help pull me along. Well, at least that’s what I’m counting on. And I’m skipping boxing tonight so I can do this run – unprecedented!
On a completely different subject, Ottawa is finally coming alive. The blossoms and lilacs are out, filling the air with some of my favorite smells. With the sun shining, my spirits are lifted. On Saturday, M & I walked around Mud Lake and it was just alive with life - ducks, geese, beaver, turtles, chipmunks, woodpeckers, and tons of other chirpy, happy birds. It was marvelous. Mud Lake, to put it simply, rocks!
And on another note – we starting looking at houses a titch more seriously this weekend. We set out on our bikes on Monday afternoon to scope out some neighbourhoods and look for For Sale signs. With almost comedic timing, Mark’s bike got a flat about 15 minutes into our adventure and crushed our rosy-eyed plans. So we trudged back home, but not before eating our picnic lunch near the river. At least lunch was satisfying!
