32:57

This morning, I ran a 5km race. Run for the Animals (Ottawa Humane Society race).
My time: 32:57.

I did it! Soaked from head to toe!

Awesome!
I really didn't think I was going to beat my last timed race (in May), but I did!
It was a rainy morning (as you can tell from the pics).

i'm a bit unsure about this race... hum...

The course was covered with puddles and there was a downpour a few minutes after I reached the finish line. I was drenched by the end of it.

My 7-week training for this race had lots of ups and downs, mostly due to the hot days, a cold and our visit to Toronto. During these last few things I didn't even want to run the race anymore...

However, despite my hesitation this morning (especially when seeing all that rain!), this race went better than expected. I'm proud that I ran the entire course. I'm also proud that I beat my time (this wasn't really planned). Both my watch and my iPod failed me (what are the odds??!) and I had no idea on how I was doing for time and no music to keep me going.

Margot signed up to run the 1km Kid's Run, but it was cancelled due to the weather. Boo! Here she is, all geared up to go:
