Days like today are why people hate Atlanta. When I woke up at 6:30am, it was already 75 degrees with 89% humidity, with temperatures expected to climb to 90 degrees. Not ideal conditions for running fourteen miles, but mentally, I was prepared. And running is as much--if not more--a mental challenge as it is physical. Hell, I was in such a good mood I participated in "dynamic stretching," even while the Chicago and Nike Womens' teams looked on in amusement.I don't know if it was the Figo pasta or tiramisu or both, but I had a phenomenal run. Probably the best long run of my life. It was certainly easier than both of my half marathons and gives me hope that I have a marathon in my future.
Oh, and the Nike "core cooler" top I scored for 30% off last week at the Big Peach? Pure heaven. I didn't feel hot or sweaty AT ALL. The shirt comes in nine colors and don't think I'm not tempted to buy every single one. I know it kept me cool and dry when most of my teammates were having a really hard time with the conditions.
Today was also Kate's big birthday party. And no birthday is complete without Hello Kitty paraphernalia, including press-on tattoos, birthday cake, decorations, coloring books and more.
And doesn't Kate shirt just say it all? I most definitely am inspired.
