May's Challenge

All I can say is REALLY?!

So this week (really the end of April) started off with beautiful 80 degree weather.  Now May 1st and we're once again back down into the 30's with a forecast of 6-8 inches of snow.  This really puts a cramp in my challenges and my training.  The end of this month will see me running my 2nd (ever) 5K and I really need to amp up and get back on schedule.

My plan for this month was to run 3-4 days a week with cross training and hill training on the non-running days: a mix of yoga, aerobics, and weightlifting to get me into prime shape.  My treadmill doesn't do inclines so I really need the weather to cooperate so I can get outside and do some actual hills.  The last thing I need to do is slip on snow and ice and break something and really mess up any chance of participating.  I have to say I am really looking forward to this run, maybe because it's at night, or just because I have been working so hard over the past few months since I signed up.

No matter what happens with the weather this is my last chance to really pull it all together.  Here's hoping I can knock it out of the ball park!
