I spent the long weekend relaxing and obsessing. \u00a0Relaxing because I spent the time with my family at the lake. \u00a0Obsessing because of the ever increasing temperatures forecast for the marathon next Sunday.<\/p>\n
I came home to find out that a friend’s husband had unexpectedly died. \u00a0While I worried about weather and pace times, her whole world was turned upside down. \u00a0She too is a runner and was training for the Ottawa half marathon. \u00a0We don’t see each other often in person but we were touching base through email to see how training was going.<\/p>\n
My biggest challenge in the near future is to run\/walk\/stagger 42.2 km in the heat. \u00a0This is the major “difficulty” of my life right now. \u00a0How lucky am I that such an endeavor, and one might say a selfish one at that, is my only real challenge to deal with. \u00a0At the moment it seems like nothing.<\/p>\n
