Follow Me

February 24th, 2010

My sixth half marathon is just four days away! As long as the blizzard that’s predicted to start tomorrow holds off until my plane takes off, I should be in New Orleans by tomorrow afternoon. Laissez les bon temps roulez!

If you want to follow my progress on race day, you can go here. Choose Rock ‘n’ Roll Mardi Gras Marathon & 1/2 Marathon from the drop-down menu on the left and enter my name, and you’ll get progress reports as I walk my way through the streets of the Big Easy!

In other news, happy 38th birthday to my big sister, also known as The Old Lady! :-)

Whatever the Weather

February 16th, 2010

It’s ten days until I leave for New Orleans, and thirteen days until my sixth (!) half marathon, which means it’s far too early to be looking at the weather forecast. And yet:

If this holds even partially true, I’ll be so happy. Warm enough to shake off these winter doldrums, and then nice and cool for race day? I’ll put up with snow for a another month or so if you make this come true, Mother Nature!

The title of this post is from a poem

Whether the weather be mild or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot,
We’ll weather the weather whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.
