Four for Friday – the photo and weather edition

1.  As predicted my race photos from Sunday show my ‘awesome’ running form.

Flat footed as usual….argh.  It also looks like my race belt has strangle hold on my waist.  Maybe the corset look is in for running.

At least this one at the finish line isn’t toooo bad.

2.  The weather this winter remains baffling.  Yesterday morning at the crack of early I was out for a tempo run in a tshirt and capris…in March…and sweat like crazy.  This morning I experienced sun, snow, wind, hail and cool temps.  Weird.  (and the hail freakin’ hurt)

3.  Sunday’s predicted weather for my long run is sun and temps in the double digits.  YESSSSSSSS.

4.  The Around the Bay 30km race is in a couple of weeks.  Instead of ramping down to the race, I am ramping back up on my long runs.  25km this week, 27k next and then race day.  I am strangely excited about this.  No idea why. 

Say it with me….IT’S FRIDAY!!!!!  what a week….

Is the weather in your area weird?  Do you ramp up to a race?

I think the photos are great! Flat foot is better than heel striking isn't it? Enjoy the weird weather and the rest of training. I'll be at ATB as well.

Your finish line shot is really good! I always hate my race pics.

Yes, March is a roller coaster, although here we are pretty safely out of the danger of snow by now. Bring on Spring!

Yes I would think flat foot was fine. Enjoy the double digits.

I couldn't believe the temps on Wednesday and sooo excited for Sunday. Watch, I'll be complaining that it's too warm! Ha! (okay, I promise I won't.)

Today is downright wintery! BRR!

The weather has been just odd! I don't get it at all.
Enjoy your long runs! It is always nice to feel excited about the long ones instead of partially dreading them.

Love your finish line pic and my weather is the same as your...crazy!

I usually ramp down since I am always worried I will get injured before a big race.
