Whenever you THINK you will have a relaxing weekend, it never happens. Instead of sitting on the couch, listening to the rain, HP05 went to the beach. As luxurious as this sounds (see above of what it can look like), it was raining there too, with tons of seaweed on the beach. Some friends of HP05 needed some support so she hopped in her car, and drove through the rain. HP05 did realize she was supposed to go see the race site, but knew her fellow HP's would report on the conditions and would fully understand. HP05 being the clever one, she did throw in her running shoes and iPod in her bag (the tankini was still in route). Sunday morning, before the rain came, HP05 had the best run she has had in a very long time. It was about an hour, running 5 minutes, walking 1 (thanks Bill Rodgers!) and have never felt better. This is exactly what HP05 needed before the race on Saturday. Now, taper mode… the best part of training!
