Single Digits

9 days until race day! San Diego weather forecast calls for a Sunny day with Highs at 67 degrees and the Lows at 62 degrees!

I had a great time tap dancing yesterday and enjoyed the sudden rain that occurred in my area! Today has drizzled a bit and tomorrow is expected to ran in the morning! I am hoping it finishes raining before I start running though! Of course my next post will tell you what happened!

I have had so many views on this site and I am so close to hitting 500! I hope the numbers increase a lot before race day!

I do want to let you guys know of my future running/race plans!
  • Surf and Sands in Huntington Beach ~ 5K (3.1 miles on the wet sand in July) just for fun!
  • Disney Half Marathon ~ August 31, 2008 (Both Gwynne and I are registered)
  • Chattanooga, TN "Stump Jump 11 mile trail run" ~ October 4, 2008 (I am registered)
  • Long Beach Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day 5K or 10K depends on what is offered... free pumpkin pies to random finishers... please be me! I have tried 2yrs in a row... third times a charm, Right?!?!
  • Catalina Trail Marathon ~ November 2008 (TBD depends on my new TNT friends)
  • Make Room For Santa 10K ~ December 2008 (my third yr in a row)
  • Rock'n'Roll Marathon, Phoenix, AZ~ January 18, 2009 (Pending TNT Winter Mentorship)
  • Surf City Half Marathon, HB, CA ~ February 1, 2009 (definitely signing up but waiting until July to see how TNT pans out... may do the full marathon if I am not running Phoenix RNR - this will be my 3rd race in a row here!)

That is as much planning so far, I am going to continue my running and hopefully do more with TNT and the LLS! I love to run and will continue running races but with a more narrow focus on challenging races and not only the 5K or 10K runs! I have done over a dozen of them and 2 half marathons which were hard challenges to overcome! I have the running bug and enjoy my running time! I hope you continue with Melissa Live after June 1st! I feel confident that next Sunday will be a blast and very emotional! Without having knowledge of my personal time for 26.2 miles... the goal is to just finish and if I beat my half marathon time of 2:39 I will feel a great accomplishment for that and will be on the right track for finishing the race in 5 hours or less, but ultimately my goal is to just finish feeling good! I would love to run more marathons and beat my personal time that is achieved next Sunday!

:::GO TEAM:::
